(1/7)sciencedirect.com/science/articl… First paper of the PhD out today! What’s it about? Most of the places we traverse and actions we take do not directly result in reward (as a PhD student, I understand this problem all too well…).

Lesions to different regions of frontal cortex have dissociable effects on voluntary persistence biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

The role of #cerebellum in #reward has been identified, but which specific aspect goes wrong in a dysfunctional cerebellum for reward? Via this study, we found that in cerebellar ataxia, #incremental #reinforcement #learning ability is impaired, while the episodic memory is

New preprint! We show that category structure rapidly warps memory for individual object features according to their roles in the category. Features shared across exemplars pull together while unique features stay apart. With Dr. Anna Schapiro and Cody Dong. doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

New preprint! We use real-time Targeted Memory Reactivation to show that sleep reactivation transforms object memories, enhancing certain features at the expense of others. W/ Sindhuja Uppuluri, Jianing Mu, Marlie Tandoc, @JamesWardAntony, Dr. Anna Schapiro biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m pleased to announce our preprint 😃 – Toward a More Biologically Plausible Neural Network Model of Latent Cause Inference. URL: arxiv.org/abs/2312.08519 (1/N)

Come join us! Wei Ji Ma and I are recruiting a postdoc to study human planning in chess using a massive dataset of online chess matches. The postdoc will join both of our labs, as well as an NSF-funded collaboration with the Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab at Princeton. apply.interfolio.com/139253

I am speaking at COSYNE 2024. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! #cosyne2024 #cosyne24 - via #Whova event app

Happy to share the preprint for my main grad school project, with Twitterless Thomas Akam, @IlanaWitten, and Nathaniel Daw! Within, we formalize a popular hypothesis about replay function (that it helps build cognitive maps) using RL, and... 1/2

Happy to see the final version of this project with Marcelo Mattar & Guillaume Hennequin out – and very grateful to the four reviewers for their inputs and expertise!

Super excited to share this one, out now in J Neuro! Memory reactivation during sleep does not act holistically on object memory. Led by the amazing Elizabeth Siefert!!
