Great blueprint by @nunvera.bsky.social, detailing her preprint on memory biases! ⤵️

SUPER excited to share the first-ever preprint out of my PhD! AND it comes with a CAT story. I know there are quite some people here who love seeing cat pictures!! 🐈1/🧵

Interested in how people perceive and remember the speed of visual objects? Our paper (see also the blueprint/ thread below) is now out in the Journal 📔 of Vision!

Many things in the world move, and can even move behind other things. When will the cat reappear? To predict this, remembering the cat’s speed will likely help. But... how do people remember something like speed, which is defined by displacement over both (🤯) space and time? TWEEPRINT ALERT! 🚨🧵1/n

This recent post by @earlkmiller.bsky.social got my attention. It shows how abstraction could emerge in the primate PFC. The paper is hard, but the main idea can be simplified to low-dims, so I made fun a little animation. A🧵with my toy model and notes: #neuroskyence #compneuro #NeuroAI

Super cool

Excited to share my first #preprint with @matthiasnau.bsky.social on how gaze behavior shapes brain activity during eyes-closed rest and sleep! Gaze-dependent activity was widespread even during sleep, including in many visual cortices, and altered brain-wide functional connectivity! 🧵 1/8

What if simply predicting an event could trick your brain into remembering it as real, even when it never happened? 🧠 Very excited to share my very first preprint with @keisukefukuda.bsky.social, born from a question that seemed almost too counterintuitive to be true🧵 1/7 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Our department just announced a new Associate Professor position in quantitative research methodology 🇳🇴 One of the favorable qualifications is experience with open science practices + R/Python experience www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

I have always believed that ideas from basic systems neuroscience could eventually help people. But for years that felt more like hope than reality. But look! This is one of the most personally satisfying papers my lab has produced because we’re getting there. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧪🧵 1/

We (@neuroprinciplist.bsky.social & I) will soon open joint PhD & postdoc positions on cross-species mechanisms of different adaptive behaviors. If you’re interested and would like to chat during #FENS2026, drop me a message :)

Story time friends... Ring attractor networks rely on fine-tuned symmetric connectivity. The fly head direction network has ring attractor dynamics but heterogeneous connectivity. How is this possible? 1/🧵 Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PSA for trainees cold emailing with interest in joining a lab: Be careful about your use of LLMs in writing these emails!! It is now *extremely* common to get emails with a bizarrely-detailed, clearly-LLM take on a paper finding or with specific phrases pulled from the lab website. Don’t do this!

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

Postdoc position available at postlab.psych.wisc.edu. Pls send cv to postle@wisc.edu

So lovely to have you @vaibhavtripathi.bsky.social 😊

I’m visiting Frankfurt, Germany, at the Max Planck Society’s Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) as part of the DAAD German Academic Exchange Service Indo-German exchange fellowship, where I’m working with @rademaker.bsky.social's group to investigate sensory and mnemonic codes during working memory

1/11 When we think about learning, we think about brains. Neurons.
Animals. But what if learning began much earlier? Our paper in PRXLife, led by @maorknak.bsky.social explores whether a unicell relative of animals can use environmental cues to anticipate future stress. 🧵 Link: go.aps.org/4vAU56R

Have you thought of using unchained pupillometry to infer effort/arousal with _uncontrolled_ visual stimulation? Sounds crazy? @yuqingc.bsky.social shows that convolutional modeling of pupil responses with gaze-contingent luminance changes finally allows just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Proud to share new fMRI work by the fabulous Or Yizhar (not on Bsky): on the manifold level(s) of abstraction of visual working memories in visual cortex. With a fantastic team, Fabio Bauer, Inés Pont Sanchis, and @hanzule.bsky.social, supported by @erc.europa.eu

Now out in Nature Neuroscience: "Fixation duration on natural scenes is explained by memory encoding not processing demand". www.nature.com/articles/s41... Our eyes don't linger because recognition is hard; they linger to remember. Let me take you on a quick tour. 🧵

When you're stressed, what happens to the mental links that let you connect related experiences and draw new conclusions? In our new @science.org #ScienceAdvances paper, we show that stress disrupts that linking process in the hippocampus🧵

Some incredibly exciting news that still feels a bit surreal: I am starting my research group @mpicybernetics.bsky.social! The best part? We are hiring at all levels! Curious about the science we plan to tackle, read along :) #NeuroSky

We are excited to open the re:vision initiative, a community-driven initiative for replicating and generalizing findings in visual neuroscience, based on the LAION-fMRI dataset. re-vision-initiative.org Why this initiative and why would you want to participate? 🧵

Do you think in concepts? In pictures? A little bit of both? Thinking in pictures draws on parts of your brain also involved in seeing pictures: Early Visual Cortex (EVC). To learn how thinking in pictures may work, the amazing @noa tested 2 accounts in a neural network model. 🚨TWEEPRINT ALERT! 1/n

A neural state space for episodic memories

Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …
