#VSS2025 Come check out Min’s super cool talk Tues 6pm! He cleverly uses voxel-wise predictive encoding models to compare different forms of remapping across the human brain @vssmtg.bsky.social

Yong Min Choi 👀🧠@yongminchoi.bsky.social · last yr.

Tomorrow at 6 pm, I will be presenting my work on pre-saccadic remapping in the human visual cortex, revealed by voxel-wise encoding model on fMEI data (Talk 55.13 at Talk room 1). Please visit and share your thoughts 😊 @juliedgolomb.bsky.social

Congrats to former JGLab undergrad @avaaaaran.bsky.social for her first-author publication! What a cool undergrad thesis project, with grad mentor @zitonglu.bsky.social. Keep an eye out for both of these early career stars!
