We’re hiring a full-time Research Coordinator in the Preston Lab at UT Austin (start May/June 2026). Work on behavioral + fMRI studies of how memory & decision-making develop from childhood to adulthood. Learn more & apply: preston.clm.utexas.edu/news/join-th... Please repost!

We leveraged LaseNet (@tifenpan.bsky.social, @annecollins.bsky.social), an RNN framework trained on model-simulated data, to infer trial-by-trial attentional states from behavior during learning. The network learns to map observable behavior -> latent attention trajectories.

Proud to share the lab’s first preprint, led by the fantastic @christinamaher.bsky.social! 🎉 Real-world environments are high-dimensional and noisy. Selective attention is thought to shape the state representations that make reinforcement learning tractable.

What makes new goals difficult to reach? As I discussed with @alisonpstevens.bsky.social for @sciencenews.bsky.social, the issue might be holding precise but costly memories of the target. As we internalize rules for what success looks like, goals become more attainable. @annecollins.bsky.social

We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.
