congrats Rick! we'll miss you for sure here!

If you are interested in how the Anterior Cingulate Cortex affects behavior: Brief ACC-stimulation when an object is fixated changes inferring the relevance of that object over other objects, i.e. ACC reduces uncertainty about the objects' value. 1/3 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm very excited to share a preprint from a passion project I've been working on this past year! This came out of trying to work through two puzzles that have been bothering me for a while, and which are at the core of almost everything most of us study. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Excited to be attending #SFN24 starting tomorrow. I will also be giving a talk on Oct 7 (see below). Looking forward to exploring the latest in neuroscience and connecting with fellow researchers. Always happy to discuss my research or learn about yours - feel free to reach out!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

“It’s unbelievably special, it hasn’t really sunk in. It's the big one really!” 2024 chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis was still overwhelmed by the news when we spoke to him today. In this interview moments after the prize announcement, he talks about his passion for science

awesome to see the Nobel prizes in both physics and chemistry this year going to neural network pioneers.

Thrilled to be at #ACNP2024 – amazing science and wonderful connections, old and new! Excited to present my poster: Using an MRI-compatible vaping device, we studied smokers receiving nicotine or monetary rewards in an fMRI. Curious about the findings? Stop by Tues, 5–7 PM :)

I retired from the American University system at age 49 (after 26 years) so have no direct stake in this. But am here to say that drastically cutting NIH & NSF funding and reducing grant “overhead” to 15% are among the dumbest ideas I have ever seen. America will never be the

At University of Oxford it's time for the staff survey. Here's my answer to: "What is the main thing the University could do to help you to progress your career?" Please RT and respond similarly to the survey if you agree. It's the only way to get our points across!

Did you log in today out of your own 'free will'? I study what gives you that feeling - and what parts of your brain may be involved in creating it. Just presented my work on the neural correlates of the experience of free will at #SPP2025. Manuscript in preparation!
