Thank you for this feature! I'm admittedly awkward on video, but I really enjoyed working on the spotlight piece and taking a bigger picture view of my research trajectory!

Looking forward to reading this preprint! I saw this project as a poster at VSS last year, and it was one of the most thought-provoking posters I’ve seen. It even prompted me to update my face memorability experiments, so I’m excited to think through how it connects with my results, too!

Preprint⭐ Our attention changes over time and differs across contexts—which is reflected in the brain🧠 Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, we find that the geometry of neural dynamics along the attractor landscape reflects such changes in attention! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Geometry of neural dynamics along the cortical attractor landscape reflects changes in attention

The brain is a complex dynamical system whose activity reflects changes in internal states, such as attention. While prior work has shown that large-scale brain activity reflects attention, the mechan...

If you missed us at #cogsci2025, my lab presented 3 new studies showing how efficient (lossy) compression shapes individual learners, bilinguals, and action abstractions in language, further demonstrating the extraordinary applicability of this principle to human cognition! 🧵 1/n

Remember what your partner said during a heated argument? Or the rush of getting your first job offer? Why do these emotionally arousing moments stick? Across 3 studies, and 3 arousal measures, we found that emotional arousal enhances memory encoding by promoting functional integration in the 🧠 1/🧵

Out now in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social: We developed a generalizable brain network model predicting moment-to-moment surprise. This edge-fluctuation-based predictive model (EFPM) of surprise works across tasks, from adaptive learning to watching basketball games or cartoons! rdcu.be/d4y3g

Brain network dynamics predict moments of surprise across contexts
