POSTDOC POSITION ALERT 📣 The Braver CCP Lab WUSTL, Bugg, and Kool Control and Decision Making Lab labs are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for an Office of Naval Research (ONR) funded project on the cognitive neuroscience of attentional control 🧠 To apply: sites.wustl.edu/ccplab/positio…

New paper alert! I offer some (idiosyncratic) musings on the conflict-control and task-switching literatures in this Perspective: "Principles of cognitive control over task focus and task switching". Hope it's useful/stimulating to some folks... rdcu.be/dnbaz

We are proud to announce that we have accepted-in-principle our third Registered Report, from the @oesteban lab! Experimental design plan now available on figshare. springernature.figshare.com/articles/journ…

Does your fMRI task involve response times? If so, you should check out our new paper in order to avoid condition difference effect estimates from being driven by RT differences. nature.com/articles/s4156…

When your R worked fine for months, you update a single package with dependencies and all hell breaks loose.

Our new book is finally out! A hands-on exploration of data science for neuroimaging, based on our experience teaching Neurohackademy, with plenty of examples using Python software tools and open data.

What better way to ease yourself into 2024 than reading our new review (with Audrey Siqi-Liu) of recent research on cognitive flexibility? Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iN3H8MqMimi… Insights into control over cognitive flexibility from studies of task-... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Some news: I'm thrilled to say that this summer I'm moving back to my alma mater UC Berkeley to join the faculty of UCBerkeley Psychology! 🎉 I have a LOT to say about how much I'm going to miss my colleagues at Brown 🤎 but that's a future thread. I'm excited to return to my roots!😃

.Russ Poldrack and I are hiring a full-time, in-person/hybrid research coordinator to work with us on cognitive control, response inhibition, and dense MRI scanning. The position is designed for folks looking to start a Ph.D in 2-3 years. Please retweet. careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/social-sc…

This is out now in JNeuro! Thanks to everyone who provided feedback throughout the process. I am really looking forward to seeing what information edges can give us about ongoing cognitive processes. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Later this week we (Psych Science editors) will hold drop in “office hours” on zoom during waking hours for people in Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, and parts of Oceania. See link for details and to register (registration is required but free & open to all). Please share!

Awesome job with some amazing folx. Apply or be square.

Our latest findings that help appreciate why microsaccades and attention shifts are often correlated but not obligatorily linked: attention shifts do not cause new microsaccades but exclusively bias the direction of microsaccades that happen to be made when shifting attention.
