This paper is absolutely wild and amazing. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super excited by this manuscript led by the amazing @brissend.bsky.social By combining fMRI, TMS, and modeling, we finally have causal evidence that the cerebellum is contributing to brain-wide working memory representations and recall performance! 1/n

YEP! Wait until you find out how Google was started with a sub $1m NSF grant, GPS was developed with fed funding, we've reduced overdose deaths by 25% with fed funding, and of 354 new medications released between 2010-2019 99.4% of them were started by NIH grants/funded labs.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

New York Knicks - absolutely amazing I vividly remember watching the Knicks playoff run in 1999 at my friend's apartment building across the street. Formative Knicks fan moments. Ups and downs, of course a tough ending. This time will be different. We want the Spurs again! #Knicks 🏀

My FIRST PhD students, Drs. Juliana Trach & @hhillman.bsky.social, defended their FANTASTIC PhDs! They started with me in 2020 (a very uneventful year of course) Juliana and Hanna tease me for my "dad photos" of them giving posters/talks mid-sentence or eyes-closed. So here are two of those ->

Jalen Brunson is a genius

Thrilled to have this preprint out, from the amazing Zekun Sun! "Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns" In brief, across 8 experiments we found evidence of a causal role for abstract representations in motor learning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

When I was in my PhD, I TAed an upper-year fMRI course. Seniors would design a study, scan each other, and then analyze the data. Amazing course, and we had a great year with stars like Juliana Trach & Henry Jones. They’re doing small-N block designs, so nobody finds anything, of course, except —

Today is official publication day for the paperback of A TRICK OF THE MIND. Surreal as ever to see on the shelves (this time thanks to Waterstones Gower St for indulging me). More here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/451515...

our article is now live in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We argue that action monitoring and ultimately our sense of agency involve an effector-independent representation of our movements => Motor equivalence in motor awareness www.cell.com/iscience/ful... Read, share, comment :)

Very excited to share our latest paper led by @nbinish.bsky.social in @natneuro.nature.com We demonstrate how a communication subspace channels higher-dimensional PFC dynamics into lower-D motor activity to enable efficient behavior using human iEEG. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Flexible and sparse spatial organization in visual working memory revealed by biases in micro gaze behavior - our latest findings spearheaded by @baiweiliu.bsky.social, now out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Two postdoc opportunities @yale.edu in human neurophysiology. One position in my lab @wutsaiyale.bsky.social focusing on human cognitive neurophysiology. Details at helfrich-lab.com/news/ Plus a possible collab with anesthesiology 👇 #NeuroTwitter #NeuroJobs #neuroskyence #EEG Please share.

I'll be recruiting PhD students (2027 entry) and a postdoc to join the lab at Berkeley. Interests: • continuous person perception in interactive contexts • impression management and its biases • social perception in digital spaces Get in touch if there's overlap. Very excited for this next chapter!

HIV drove Zambia's life expectancy down to 37. A program backed by the US helped raise it up to 67, as hundreds of lives were saved. Now cuts to the US HIV program are causing a jump in AIDS deaths, as @stephanienolen.bsky.social reports. Gift link: nyti.ms/41V2Uvq

Lab tradition when poster session is over: #NCMKobe

Double act with @actlab.bsky.social at Cinet in Osaka. Cerebellum and Cognition. Doing paired talks is certainly good for a lively discussion…

Would love to get some colleagues at the intersection of NLP and CogSci. Reach out if you have any questions! Deadline: 31-Jul-2026

We're hiring a postdoc in the Cognitive-Motor Learning Lab, directed by Dr. Aaron L Wong! If you want to study how people monitor their performance during skilled tool-use actions, & how this error awareness is disrupted after stroke, then this position may be a good fit. https://ow.ly/1h2a50YIaWy

🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective We call it the digital sphinx www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Why is the #cerebellum (known for coordinating motor functions) also engaged in #cognition? @diedrichsenjorn.bsky.social & @actlab.bsky.social investigate the problems that have made it so difficult to answer this question and outline strategies to make progress. 🧪 #NeuroSky

out today, enjoyed writing this w/ @diedrichsenjorn.bsky.social !

A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social: The Deliberation Taboo Cognitive science is, nominally, the science of thinking. We argue that the field has no theory of what thinking is and, even worse, that the topic has largely dropped out of focus. 1/ osf.io/preprints/ps...
