Excited to start my residency at the KLI today. For the next few months, I'll be writing-up a project on reinforcement learning and the operational foundations of agency, with a special focus on its ecological validity and underlying philosophy of control. #philsky #cogsci

Open postdoc position👈 We have an open position, starting early 2026, to work on an exciting project aiming at better understanding the role of thalamo-cortical brain oscillations in perception with a comparative, cross-species (animal-human) component based on electrophysiology (incl. scalp EEG).

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Join a terrific community of researchers in a beautiful part of the country.🧠🧪 Re-post uleth.peopleadmin.ca/postings/8586

does someone good at coding & analysis want to work remotely w/ us in the coming few months (before end of 2025), as a paid consultant? project will be on neurofeedback (fMRI, ECoG, calcium imaging). we'll work towards developing the experiments & analysis pipelines together. if so pls DM me ur CV🧠📈

This time with a better graphic and an actual date 😶 catch our symposium on realism in neuroscience at ISPSM👀 @ispsm.bsky.social

I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.
