Very proud to announce that the final chapter of my thesis is now out in Cell Reports! How do neurophysiological traits that characterize individuals evolve across the lifespan? We combined data from over 1,000 individuals aged 4–89 to answer this question. (1/6) 🧠👶👦👧👱👩‍🦱🧔‍♂️🧓👴 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Quantifying rhythmic and arrhythmic brain activity is a hot 🥵 topic. But how independent are the two components from one another? 🤔 In my latest work with @smfleming.bsky.social & @matlandry.bsky.social, I explore the relationship between the two. (1/4)

New study ✨! ⍺ regulates perceptual switches during binocular rivalry: ⍺↓ before dominant percepts, ↑ before mixed percepts + PO connectivity shifts from top-down to feedforward after perceptual alternations Led by Janine Mendola @mcgill.ca, w/ E Mokri & @jasondasilvac.bsky.social

🚨The first paper of my postdoc is out now in @elife.bsky.social! 🚨 We explored the role of attention in planning. Thank you 🙏 to the reviewers for their helpful comments & suggestions. Keep your 👀 peeled for additional analyses and our response. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025...

After five years of confused staring at Greek letters, it is my absolute pleasure to finally share our (with @smfleming.bsky.social) computational model of mental imagery and reality monitoring: Perceptual Reality Monitoring as Higher-Order inference on Sensory Precision ✨ osf.io/preprints/ps...

Very proud to share this one🥹! We show that personalized signatures of brain activity are heritable and relate to the expression of specific genes. That means my brain-fingerprint is very similar to my twin brother's! #ResearchIsMeSearch🧠 🧬 ♊️

🧬🧠 Our latest study shows that individual brain dynamics are partly written in our genes. We found that heritable neurophysiological traits align with adult cortical gene expression and psychological function. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @theneuro.bsky.social @mcgill.ca

Collecting an extensive publicly available dataset on 4 inhibitory control tasks, Lee et al. show that more than 1000 trials/participant are necessary to reduce within-subject variability and improve the reliability of the congruency effect. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨Excited to share my first preprint from my postdoc with @smfleming.bsky.social! 🚨 We explore how attention shapes simplified mental representations for planning. We show that inductive biases characteristic of attentional selection shape how we plan. Check it out: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧠🔦🤖

New preprint! 📢 We combine MEG and neuromelanin-sensitive MRI of the locus coeruleus to show a noradrenergic basis for altered alpha rhythms in #Parkinson's disease w/ Victoria Madge, Ted Fon, Alain Dagher, Louis Collins, and @sylvainbaillet.bsky.social www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congrats to newly minted Dr. Jason da Silva Castanheira! @jasondasilvac.bsky.social 🧑‍🎓!!!

As if my name isn’t long enough already, I added PhD to it today!

We are recruiting for a Marie Curie "CODE" PhD student 💻🧠🚨 (sites.google.com/view/confide...) The project will focus on neurocomputational approaches to information seeking, offloading and metacognitive control across the lifespan www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... Deadline 22 Feb, pls share!

New paper(!) on the neurochemistry of structural and functional cortical changes in #Parkinson's disease w/ fantastic collaborators @jasondasilvac.bsky.social Ted Fon and @sylvainbaillet.bsky.social Now published OA in @ANA_journals: 📰https://doi.org/10.1002/ana.26871 🧵👇 (1/8)

Postdoc in our lab! Last day to apply! Please apply if interested - don’t worry about supporting docs or anything. (Apologies for the awkward timing on the deadline - it was an HR thing.)

Initial submission of my PhD thesis ✅ If Mariah Carey tops the Spotify charts next week, y’all will know why… #AllIWantForChristmasIsAPhD

New collab work driven by the magic duet @matlandry.bsky.social + @jasondasilvac.bsky.social just published in @OxUniPress Cerebral Cortex. Parsing out the neurophysiological substrates of ⬆️ vs. ⬇️ attention.

Very excited to share this work (it’s been a long time in the making). Here we show that both top-down 📖 and bottom-up ‼️attention modulate 🧠alpha-band activity, which partially explains the interference between the two attention systems when oriented 👀to opposite spatial locations.

Went to see Mariah Carey’s Christmas show and submitted a manuscript this week. I’m feeling accomplished! 😌

Relationships between brain signal variability and executive function change as a function of life stage. So glad to finally get this out! direct.mit.edu/netn/article...

So happy to be a part of this paper! Go read all about our results. A big OBRIGADO to @AlexWiesman for including me 😇😌

Hello Bluesky/Twitter refugees! For my first post, I invite you to check out the latest work by @garedaba.bsky.social and myself where we look at thalamocortical gradients in human and mouse brains 🌈🧠🐭🌈 In short, we highlight evidence for a supra-nuclear axis of thalamocortical organisation

Hello sky-people🕊️! I'm Jason, a cognitive neuroscientist PhD candidate at McGill University. I study attention, consciousness, and individual differences aka brain-fingerprints 🧠. I bake a mean croissant and can quote Mariah Carey on cue #PsychSciSky #neuroscience
