New preprint! 🚨 Work w/ Sangita Dandekar & Clayton Curtis at NYU during my PhD. We show how prefrontal & visual cortices coordinate to keep working memories alive via localized & long-range β-band dynamics. 🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/5)

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

Hola #SfN2025, Clayspace Lab is excited to share 4 new posters from our lab on Working memory and neural dynamics! 🧠 Come stop by at our poster boards or find us around to discuss cool science. Details in the ad below 👇! @sfn.org #Neuroscience #SfN25

It was great to present the poster today as part of the TPDA Early Career Poster session. If you missed it and are curious, shoot up a message or stop by Wednesday morning. 🧠 #SfN2025

A great talk by @earlkmiller.bsky.social on the potential role of oscillations in analog computation 🌊

I’m off to #SfN2025! Grateful for the TPDA sponsor from @sfn.org. I will present in two sessions, details below. I’m seeking 2026 postdoc positions to continue research in animal cognition/naturalistic behaviors—if you’re looking for a neuroethologist and a mouse whisperer, come to see me!

Building a strong neuroscience community means actively supporting emerging researchers. Tonight’s Early Career Poster Session offers the perfect opportunity to connect, encourage, & invest in the scientists who will carry the field forward. Drop by! 🔗 sfn.org/ecps #neurosky #SfN25

Excited to be at @cogcompneuro.bsky.social in Amsterdam today for Day 1! Visit Clayspace Lab's posters on working memory at Poster Session A, E-hall, 1:30-4:30 PM CEST. Find us at A116 (Ziyi Duan) and A170 (Mrugank Dake). See you there! #ccn2025

How reliable is OPM-MEG, and how does it compare to other neuroimaging modalities? 🤔 In a new preprint with ‪@s-michelmann.bsky.social‬, we evaluate the reliability of OPM-MEG within & between individuals, and compare it to fMRI & iEEG during repeated movie viewing. 🧠 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

"The Exit Manual: How to Leave the Free Energy Cult and Still Get Tenure" wow. www.researchgate.net/publication/... 🧠📈🧠💻

Fantastic textbook of theoretical and computational neuroscience by @xjwanglab, covering everything from biophysical circuits to cognition, full-brain models, neuro-AI and computational psychiatry. I can't recommend it enough for anyone in the field www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1...

Theoretical Neuroscience | Understanding Cognition | Xiao-Jing Wang |

This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition. It consists of three parts:

Need more studies like these that combine decoding with perturbation to investigate the necessity of the "signature" for task performance.

Love this quote from Sir Michael Atiyah: "Algebra is the offer made by the devil to a mathematician. The devil says, 'I will give you this powerful machine...all you need to do is give up your soul: give up geometry...' when you do algebra...you stop thinking about meaning, about geometry
