Very much looking forward to this exciting lineup! Also excited about presenting our work on how timescales of environmental dynamics affect foraging decisions (Wednesday), a work together w/ Tiffany Ona, @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social, Bruno Cruz, @xindipoo.bsky.social and Peter Dayan

The final paper of my PhD is now out as a preprint. This is a follow-up piece in series of two companion papers modelling awareness and suppression in a new variant of continuous flash suppression. arxiv.org/abs/2510.17154 🧵 1/3

Oops, wrong time in the original post! It will be 15:30 CET 😉

In our Learning Club @cmc-lab.bsky.social today (Sep 25, Thu, 2pm CET), @dengpan.bsky.social will tell us about his recent paper (👇) [joint work w/ Rushworth lab]. Want to attend, send an empty email to [email protected] to get the link!

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

In our Learning Club @cmc-lab.bsky.social today (Aug 18, Thu, 2pm CET), Samuel Liebana will tell us about his paper (www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... [joint work w/ @saxelab.bsky.social & @laklab.bsky.social]. Want to attend, send an empty email to [email protected] to get the link!

1/ What if we make robots that process touch the way our brains do? We found that Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (ConvRNNs) pass the NeuroAI Turing Test in currently available mouse somatosensory cortex data. New paper by @Yuchen @Nathan @anayebi.bsky.social and me!

#CCN2025, Poster C160: We present MoDSA – a fully unsupervised method for identifying behaviorally relevant neural states in both biological & artificial systems. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Wanna know how do agents forge better when have a model of their environment? Go to our wonderful collaborator, @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social B90 poster!

We'll also tell you about real foraging, and also fancier RL models ;-) A wonderful collaboration with @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social , Peter Dayan and @alleninstitute.org. bsky.app/profile/roxa...

If you are around for #CCN2025, come to B71 poster to know more how we (internally) forage for information and how RL can explain it!

Excited about #CCN2025 and sharing our research in @cmc-lab.bsky.social!

Happy to share my second paper with Peter Dayan on our decision-theoretic approach to perceptual multistability (see the tweeprint of the first paper here x.com/neuroprincip...). Paper: A decision-theoretic model of multistability biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In interested, also check our previous papers: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... and www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (bsky.app/profile/neur...)

We are heading to #CCN2025 in Amsterdam with 3 awesome posters! Thread below 👇 B71, Wed, 1pm-4pm: 2025.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=8... B90, Wed, 1pm-4pm: 2025.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=o... C169, Fri, 2pm-5pm: 2025.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=l...

Looking forward to attending #CCN2025 for the first time and presenting the first steps of my postdoc project! If you’re interested in how learning the temporal structure of the environment affects foraging decisions and how we’re testing this in a naturalistic experiment come by poster B90, Wed.

My PhD journey has officially come to end with a Summa Cum Laude, thanks to all the amazing people who’ve supported me along the way, especially my advisors Anna Levina and @engeltatiana.bsky.social! Which apparently coincided with graduation from a witchcraft and wizardry school 😉 #neuroskyence

That’s a great point, there are at least some evidence in ANNs that critical dynamics coincide with the optimal point for efficient coding, for example this paper from @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I advise any master student wishing to enroll in a PhD program to apply! Deadline approaching soon - don't miss out

I look forward to presenting and discussing this work www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... in the Soft Matter and Biophysics Seminar of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences! More info and link to join here: english.itp.cas.cn/activities/T...

In our Learning Club @cmc-lab.bsky.social today (= April 10, Thursday, 2 PM CET), Sage Chen will tell us about his lab recent works, including sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... If you'd like to attend, send an empty email to [email protected] to get the link!

Highly recommend this position! Shervin has been one of the smartest and kindest scientists I’ve collaborated with and he is a great mentor!

good guy to work for and with

I'm biased, we are collaborating. But there is a reason we are collaborating: I find Shervin to be one of the brightest and kindest scientists I've had the opportunity to meet. This is a great opportunity if you're considering grad school

Heading to @cosynemeeting.bsky.social next week. Will be in Montreal (and for a few days in Toronto afterward). If you want to chat about joining us in @cmc-lab.bsky.social, drop me a line!

🚀 Today (Mar 6, 2 PM EST) at our lab’s Learning Club, we’re excited to have Renate Krause, presenting her fascinating paper: 🔗 proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/... If you’re as interested as we are, feel free to message me or @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social for the link! 📩
