New paper out from my lab using cross-study MVPA which shows that the retrieval state is engaged by an attentional task when there are no episodic memory demands nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted our latest finding! We discovered that abstract representations emerge in the human hippocampus when learning to perform inference. This change in neural geometry is due to disentanglement of discovered latent and observable variables. nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Different brain regions encode different pain-related information, such as the expectation of pain or the intensity of a stimulus. But where and how is this information integrated? My paper has just been published in Science Advances! (1/13) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out our work on the circuitry of WM-action interplay, led by the amazing Anastasia Kiyonaga! Two distinct TMS protocols to lPFC differentially interfered with proactive vs. reactive control mechanisms between WM and action goals, suggesting multiple timescales of adaptive control

Great news: The Cognitive Control Collaborative (Cognitive Control Collaborative @ UI) is going to be in full effect at #sfn2024 Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Presentation times below. Bad news: As every year, cognitive control is largely relegated to the last day of the conference. Change your travel accordingly 🙂

Lab & Friends at Lou Malnati's. Halftime at #SfN24

C3 gang on the scene today! Posters, talks galore all day today. Last day of #SfN24 let’s get it

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”

In the novel 소년이 온다 (2014; ‘Human Acts’, 2016), Han Kang – awarded this year’s #NobelPrize in Literature – employs as her political foundation a historical event that took place in the city of Gwangju, where she herself grew up and where hundreds of students and unarmed

Excited to share a new project! 🎉🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… How do we navigate between brain states when we switch tasks? Are dynamics driven by control, or passive decay of the prev task? To answer, we compare high-dim linear dynamical systems fit to EEG and RNNs🌀 ⏬

The human brain leverages multiple codes to efficiently represent information, such as by organizing the relative timing of neuronal firing within a population of neurons. Learn more about this in our upcoming research article in nature!

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student (maybe even two!) to work in my lab in the Psychology Department here at SUNY Albany! The application deadline for the Cognitive Psychology PhD program for Fall 2025 is January 15th. Read more here: albany.edu/psychology/pro…

I'm recruiting a Ph.D. student for the upcoming school year (Fall 2025). If you are interested in studying the neural bases of attention and working memory, I would love to hear from you! You can submit an application from now through Dec 1, 2024.

Our brain operates at various spatial scales, from local to global. Do they govern different functions? A broad review on multiscale brain & cognition, out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences spanning Cog/Sys/Comp Neuro work in 🐭🐵🧑! Team JeongJun Park Monica Rosenberg authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…

🌟 Cai Lab nature paper alert! In new work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Understanding the difference between Standard Deviation (SD) and Standard Error (SE) is crucial for accurate data interpretation. SD measures the variability within your data, indicating how spread out the individual data points are from the mean. In contrast, SE measures the

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049412/…

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀 Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to? Try out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)! A few options below!🧵👇 1/9
