Fans (and non-fans) of sci-fi cinema will enjoy this wide-ranging discussion about #neuroscience, memory, intelligence and identity. Ahead of the publication of NeuroScience Fiction, Rodrigo appeared on the Brain-Inspired podcast: braininspired.co/podcast/68 (1:34:44) #OursToChange

🚨New paper alert🚨 Our collaborative work with Runnan Cao, Chujun Lin 林楚君 , & Shuo Wang looking at the interplay between autistic traits and social judgments of faces are published in Translational Psychiatry: nature.com/articles/s4139…. A 🧵

Pls retweet :) I am recruiting ✨PhD students and Postdocs✨UC San Diego Psychology to start Summer/Fall 2023! Come advance the science of person perception & its real-world impacts using #computational #experimental #crosscultural tools! Visit impactlab-ucsd.github.io & see👇

UC San Diego Thanks Lindsey!! 😍

The McDonnell Center for Systems Neuroscience awarded a $100K Small Grant to our postdoc fellow, Tao Xie, PhD. Dr. Xie's project studies conditioned fear responses in the #amygdala and aims to contribute to the development of therapies for patients affected by #PTSD.

Great to work this out with these amazing people!

Thanks to Runnan Cao (Runnan Cao), Lukas Kunz (@lks_kunz), Shuo Wang, & Joshua Jacobs (Josh Jacobs) for working on this piece with us! Let me know of any access issues - I can send a copy and/or preprint version here: psyarxiv.com/7zmuc/ Questions, comments, etc, welcome!

🌟Are you interested in how people think about each other?🌟 🚨Join my lab to advance this knowledge using naturalistic designs, computational methods, & any other new, exciting approaches that you can think of!🤯 PhD application deadline: Dec 6th. See shorturl.at/CU125

🚨 New paper 🚨 In this new theoretical paper NYAS with Chujun Lin 林楚君, Sai Sun, Runnan Cao, Kohitij Kar, and Shuo Wang, we reviewed recent work on the neural computational mechanisms of social trait and emotion perception from faces. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny… 🧵

Me too! Visiting other countries, including my hometown, has been super difficult and time-consuming.

My lab (CoCo-Neuro) at UTD is recruiting a lab manager/tech to start in the summer of 2024 (2 years preferred). If you have a strong computational background and are interested in cog neuroscience, this position is for you! Apply through the official post: jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/26132

I am recruiting 🚨grad students🚨postdocs🚨visiting scholars🚨for 2025! My lab UC San Diego study⭐️person perception⭐️social cognition⭐️using experimental, cross-cultural, computational methods & more! 👉Lab: shorturl.at/kq4qu 👉Grad (DDL Dec 4): shorturl.at/NSkoU

Salman and I are lucky to get together this amazing speaker panel. Please stop by at #SFN24 if you are interested in human cognition using direct brain signal recording. :)

🚨3rd preprint from my lab out! with my awesome grad Junsong Lu 陆俊松🌟 How do people mentally represent numerous inferences about others?🤯 Prior work proposed low-dimensional rep with latent dimensions We show high-dimensional network brings new insights🧵👇

Here's the real "final frontier"-understanding how the BRAIN works. This massive BRAIN Initiative effort's a piece of the puzzle to explain what makes us human & what goes wrong in neuro/mental/substance abuse disorders. Marvel at the complexity & beauty. nature.com/immersive/d428…

Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C

Recent discussions (e.g. Richard Sutton on Dwarkesh Patel’s podcast) have highlighted why animals are a better target for intelligence — and why scaling alone isn’t enough. In my recent CMU Robotics Institute seminar talk, “Using Embodied Agents to Reverse-Engineer Natural Intelligence”,

I am recruiting PhD students for 2026! ⏰✨📝 My lab School of BBS at UTD UT Dallas studies human cognitive neuroscience 🧠🧠🧠 in high-level perception and cognition using neuroimaging, naturalistic stimuli, computational methods, and AI models 🤖🤖🤖 in both typical and
