New review with Cheng Xue at U Chicago @cxue.bsky.social in Trends [email protected]! We discuss the neural geometry of task-dependent computation: disentangled encoding, RNN modeling, switch cost, etc. www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

Could not be more excited about Colton's @coltoncasto.bsky.social work! A deep dive into the linguistic cerebellum, and a discovery of an area remarkably functionally similar to the core left-hemisphere language areas, including in its selectivity for language. Go Colton and team!

A new study suggests that primate facial expressions may not just be reflex

Thrilled to share our paper in @pnas.org! "Neural synchrony links sensorimotor cortices in a network for facial motor control" With superb team: Ianni GR (co-first), Rassi E, Rouse AG, Schieber MH, Yazdani F, Prut Y, Freiwald WA. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

It's finally out! Our paper on optogenetic interrogation of the lateral line: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... This one involved a lot of sweat and tears, and it was a real tour de force. It was also the last paper we got to write with Jim, so it's a special one (and hence, the tears).

Delighted to share our new paper, now out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... "Hierarchical dynamic coding coordinates speech comprehension in the brain" with dream team @alecmarantz.bsky.social, @davidpoeppel.bsky.social, @jeanremiking.bsky.social Summary 👇 1/8

Ultrasonic signals support a large-scale communication landscape in wild mice. See our paper here: www.cell.com/current-biol... @currentbiology.bsky.social #bioacoustics

Chimps combine calls to encode many more meanings than there are call types. Congrats to @tozbu.bsky.social from the ENES Bioacoustics Research Lab & Co👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @aaas.org #bioacoustics @earthspecies.bsky.social

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information? In @pnas.org, Luke Townrow and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately. There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event. Join us! form.jotform.com/250226137228...
