Thrilled to be featured in the @thetransmitter.bsky.social Liftoff Series! Grateful for the opportunity to share more about our launching lab's ethos and the big questions surrounding mechanisms of affect and mental health we aim to tackle in the coming years! 🧠

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · last mo.

In this month’s “Liftoff,” @marisosa.bsky.social discusses the challenges and excitement of task-switching as a new PI, and @debyee.bsky.social shares how she plans to foster a culture of reproducibility in her lab. #neuroskyence By @franciscorr25.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/liftoff-new-...

We have a new Cognitive Control Collaborative website: www.cognitivecontrol.net Six labs, more than 20 trainees, six years of collaboration (and counting). Consider joining us, many of us are looking for new grad students in the fall!

2/2 We will also be doing 2 Tenure-Track Faculty searches in the fall: one in Clinical Science and the other an open-area search in Neuroscience. More to come about them toward the end of the summer. Reach out to me with questions.

We are EXTREMELY stoked that the Cognitive Control Collaborative is adding a sixth lab this year, as Debbie Yee will join us as a new Asst Prof in the UI Psych department! Great times ahead, can't wait!!!

I'm SO pleased to announce that I'll be starting as an Asst Prof at @psychiowa.bsky.social this August. The lab will focus on neural & computational mechanisms of motivation, affect, & decision-making, with the aspirational goal of translation to neuropsychiatric disorders. 🧠 yeelabneuro.com

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to answer 275 emails per day and argue with administrators. That’s why I chose a career in academia.

I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred. Apply here: jobs.uiowa.edu/jobSearch/po... Lab website: wessellab.org

Happy New Year everyone! New paper from Xitong and our lab. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

The thalamus encodes and updates context representations during hierarchical cognitive control

The cortico-striatal-thalamic circuit is involved in updating cortical task representations, but the role of the thalamus in the context of cognitive flexibility is not well known. This study shows th...

If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

The Dept of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Iowa is searching for an assistant prof in computational psych/neuroscience, a full prof in any area, and two lecturers. Follow the link for details. psychology.uiowa.edu/about/job-op...
