How do #brains align during social interaction? @manuelvarlet.bsky.social &co show that interbrain info alignment emerges rapidly & strengthens with practice; distinct neural processes support sensory synchrony (early) & shared cognitive representation (late) @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3KnoweJ

This study shows that human pairs adopt stable cooperative, competitive, or mixed strategies. A computational model predicts dyadic choices and links these strategies to interaction dynamics, payoffs, and cost of cooperation. @violapriesemann.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New paper “Basis functions for complex social decisions in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex” in @nature.com led by @mkwittmann.bsky.social with many others. We show basis functions code relations between people, similar to their role in other perceptual and motor domains www.nature.com/articles/s41...

❗️Preprint alert ❗️ When I was a college student in my neuroscience classes, I was always told that neuroimaging research involves a trade-off between statistical power and available resources. But what if you could have both? 1/n

Now out in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social : We discuss how the contents of visual perception, imagery, and prediction can be decoded from rhythmic brain activity and argue that such rhythmic representations offer new insights into neural information propagation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My lab has been working on comparing neural representations for the past few years - methods like RSA, CKA, CCA, Procrustes distance We are often asked: What do these things tell us about the system's function? How do they relate to decoding? Our new paper has some answers arxiv.org/abs/2411.08197
