Had a great time presenting my first poster at #VSS2026! 👀🧠 Grateful for all the insightful discussions and feedback, and loved seeing many great talks and other posters. We introduced a new paradigm + computational model to study confidence updating during active sampling in decision-making. 💭

When ferrets 🐾 make mistakes, does the premotor cortex 🧠 know it? A new study by J. Boucher, S. Shamma and Y. Boubenec in @plosbiology.org uses functional ultrasound imaging to show that premotor cortex tracks the perceived stimulus, not the one reported by behavior. ⬇️

Premotor cortex hemodynamic responses primarily reflect perceptual rather than specific motor aspects of decision making

How do frontal brain regions guide decision-making in the context of perceptual and non-perceptual factors? This study in ferrets shows through functional ultrasound imaging that activity in the brain...

Preprint out, from my work with @mamassian.bsky.social and Anne! We show that time perception is shaped not only by context but also by structural constraints, by extending classical Bayesian models by explicitly quantifying a structural prior impacting duration discrimination. shorturl.at/q8bE6

Modeling how contextual and structural biases shape duration perception

Human time perception is flexible and shaped by both structural constraints and contextual influences. Disentangling these sources of bias is essential for understanding the predictive mechanisms unde...

1/8 Yesterday, we gathered for our annual end-of-year meeting, and as tradition dictates we awarded the most prestigious and coveted titles of the year. From ferret socializing to coffee consumption, here’s who took home the trophies. ⬇️

We are remarkably good at recognizing natural auditory “textures”, such as the soothing sound of a running brook or fire crackling in a chimney. But do you think you could remember the exact rain texture that opens “Riders on the Storm”?
