Our latest work, on modeling the human brain responses to sight, sound and language at scale:

Have you ever wondered why mice do what they do when they are free to do whatever they want? Check out our latest (and this slightly delayed thread about our recent paper, led by Caleb Weinreb and friends...) www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

CodaNote: Collaborative Markdown/Quarto/Rmarkdown People were looking for collaborating on MD family files with knit rendering... I built this tool for CORE team, works like Google Docs. Opened it to all from internal use so everyone can use it. Feedback welcome! Try: codanote.vercel.app

Exciting news! The @yorkpsychology.bsky.social are recruiting 3 new ART (research and teaching) lecturers! One role will be prioritised for cognitive, affective and/or social neuroscience. #neuroskyence #cognition #psychscisky #neurojobs

I think it's weird when my employer asks me to donate money. 🤷‍♂️ But I usually contribute because we get "credit" for department participation and I try to be a team player. But I didn't know they would publish the AMOUNT of donations 😂

New lab paper! We built a new computational model that explains several disparate observations about the conditions that promote (or hinder) associative learning. Main finding is that different kinds of experience (blocked, interleaved) have opposing effect at high vs low memory capacity. 🧵 below!

🚨NEW PREPRINT (w/ Fleming Peck & Hongjing Lu) "Spontaneous emergence of context-dependent statistical learning in humans and neural networks" We are constantly predicting what will happen next. Yet the same cue can lead to different predictions depending on context. How might this work...? 🧵1/8

Join us in Paris Sleep Day, 19th of May, a free one-day symposium dedicated to connect early-career researchers working on sleep in Paris and build a long-term local support network. Registration and submission details are available here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Hope to see you there! ✨

Awesome opportunity as head of an MRI core facility in Bielefeld: uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job/view/471...

Do novel experiences shortly before or after learning improve memory for what was learned? They don’t according to Raza et al., but simply resting might. Read about novel VR experiences versus wakeful rest as ways to improve memory: https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218251346156

🚨 Hiring in Munich 🇩🇪: 2 open-topic PhD positions in human & machine learning (TVöD E13 80%). Start ~June 2026 (flexible). Deadline: March 2, 2026. Apply/info: hcai-munich.com/PhD_Job_Ad.pdf Reposts appreciated 🙏

🧠 The Mind Meeting Series is back! Organized by us & Bicanski Lab, featuring leading scientists in cognitive and computational neuroscience. Our first speaker is @lukaskunz.bsky.social (University Hospital Bonn). 🗓 February 12 | 3:00 PM 📍 In person (Zoom available) We look forward to seeing you!

🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n

So happy to finally see this out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We found that disrupted replay structure in an AD model was linked to reduced place cell stability and more repetitive behaviour on a radial maze 🧠 @abrate.bsky.social @caswell.bsky.social #neurosky tinyurl.com/yx52vzjd

🧠🧠🧠 Wir haben bei unserer letzten Vorstandssitzung der @dgps.bsky.social in Jena neue Angebote und Initiativen für Jungmitglieder für das Jahr 2026 geplant – 🔜 detaillierte Informationen dazu bekommt ihr in Kürze! 🎊🎊🎊

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Ok researchers rise and shine, it's groundhog day - what better way to get you up to date with what has been going on at the FORRT Replication Hub? forrt.org/replication-...

Would love to hear expert views on this paper. It appears to show that the operationalization of brain activity the field has relied on for 3 decades—the BOLD response—is not actually a sensible measure of brain activity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

www.neuroai.science/p/claude-cod... Why yes this is very helpful for me as an undergrad. I like the way the methods that Patrick laid, how to aid research using AI and its pros vs cons

OpenAI just released Prism, a LaTeX editor with embedded ChatGPT for free. Writing a paper has never been easier. Clogging the scientific publishing pipeline has never been easier. It took me 54 seconds to write up an experiment I did not actually conduct. prism.openai.com

At #PuG2026 in Heidelberg you can look forward to 3 keynote lectures by Simone Shamay-Tsoory („Inter-brain coupling during empathic interactions“), @mschoenauer.bsky.social („The role of reactivation in forming long-term memories“) and @micahgallen.com („Toward Causality in Interoception Research“)!

First week where planyourscience.com had more than 1000 organic users. I know this is nothing by software standards but it is quite something by academic standards. And to everyone using it - tell me what could/should be better. And use it to export a first draft ;)

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

I edited a special issue of Addiction Neuroscience on dopamine circuitry & heterogeneity in addiction - now complete!🧠🧪 Check out the full issue & my editorial (all open access) here: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Really thrilled that this paper led by @neurozz.bsky.social is now published in its final version in @elife.bsky.social!! This is a memory-focused (as opposed to RL-focused) account of the detailed characteristics of forward and backward awake and sleep replay! elifesciences.org/articles/99931

main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂 looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible. science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv

Our new work on human navigation strategies and related neural correlates is out! Thanks to Nikolai Axmacher, @lukaskunz.bsky.social and others in the team for a great opportunity to look at this dataset of iEEG and fMRI. doi.org/10.64898/202... code: github.com/zits69/Arena
