New preprint! We identified a mechanism for face processing that's centered on primate SC. It's freaky fast (faster than cortical face patches), depends on inputs from visual cortex (as opposed to retina), and explains some puzzles in the literature. #tweeprint below. 1/n

New paper: In a juice-choice task, we thought that gustatory cortex (GC) might provide the main input to compute offer values. It doesn't. Variables encoded in GC are all post-decision. Neuronal Activity in Gustatory Cortex during Economic Choice jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Open PhD position at University of Zurich. Join me and Todd Hare as part of the Zurich Center for Neuroeconomics to study affect in social decision making. Amazing research environment & working conditions. Open to EU and non-EU. See link for details. jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancies/… Please RT!

🎉 Thrilled to announce that the first project I worked on from start to finish in Zurich is now on bioRxiv! We show how risk preferences are fundamentally shaped by how we process choice variables, and how these can be measured in the parietal cortex. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud to share our paper in nature that Andrei and I co-first authored with Tom Mrsic-Flogel SWC We recorded ~15000 neurons across the brain while mice made perceptual decisions to reveal how sensory evidence controls actions through global neural dynamics nature.com/articles/s4158…

So happy

Congratulations to all of our Travel Award Winners; we're so glad that you were able to join us in Cascais, Portugal for the 2024 Annual Meeting. #SNE2024Awards

So happy for my buddy Mael Lebreton for this very deserved achievement! Also bravissimi Rahul Bhui and Patricia Lockwood for their early career award of the #SNE2024!
