Nothing like a scheduled talk to an expert audience to get you to check and recheck results. My laptop's running hot but see you all at the @waveclubseminar.bsky.social!

1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Shortlisting now, there is still time to apply! Check out LinkedIn for more details. www.linkedin.com/posts/vishnu...

Happening today, folks! I'm hearing great things about this meeting from them. I wish I could be there but if you're already there, please attend and give us some feedback. This is a project that makes a big leap from another discipline that we really are not experts on. So we'd appreciate feedback!

If you're at #behaviour2025, please check out Pritha Ghosh's talk tomorrow (Fri) at 7 pm! Pritha and A. Biswas from my lab have been a dream team on this project, which has a special place in my heart. See: mandalabodyssey.blogspot.com/2025/06/reme...

This was a fun paper to write, and one that fits nicely with some recent work I've been doing on the role of counterfactual simulation in memory encoding. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

New CNeuroMod-THINGS open-access fMRI dataset: 4 participants · ~4 000 images (720 categories) each shown 3× (12k trials per subject)· individual functional localizers & NSD-inspired QC . Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.09024 Congrats Marie St-Laurent and @martinhebart.bsky.social !!

Beautiful and inspiring work from Gero Miesenböck and colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Please consider helping us out if you meet the criteria mentioned in the ad! We will pay $10 for ~20 minutes of your valuable time and expertise. Please share widely!

Looks like my account was hacked recently. I was unable to access the account for a while until now. I don't use bsky that much. Apologies if anything inappropriate was broadcast from this account!

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Our lab (www.mandalab.org) turned 4 yesterday. Some pics with all the awesome folks I get to do science with every day.

📢 New preprint: "Comparing Cue and Target Roles in Cued Recall Reveals Limits of Intrinsic Word Memorability". See lnkd.in/gXs48uyx for a tweet thread. Congrats, Anuska Maity, for your first preprint (and hopefully published paper soon)!

A first-year PhD scholar in the lab, Ozoswita Deb, has been selected to attend Neurohackademy 2025. I'm super happy about this because she will get to learn from the best (@russpoldrack.org and others)! :) www.linkedin.com/posts/vishnu...

Incredibly saddened by Prof. David Huron's passing. His legacy will live on through the many students he inspired. David was one of the most important mentors in my life. Here's more about the lessons he taught me and the impact he's had on me: mandalabodyssey.blogspot.com/.../remember....

Is there a good way to post Twitter threads to bsky without having to redo the whole thing? Anyway, here's a thread about our recent paper demonstrating an issue with a narrative flow measure introduced by Sap et al. (2022, PNAS): x.com/vishnusreekr...

This a formidable summary of what we know (and don't know) about the retrosplenial cortex including an amazing section on anatomy and the lack of common definitions. I honestly rarely read a piece like this that addresses all my questions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What are the best fMRI summer schools out there (preferably outside of the US)? Ideally something where a grad student who has taken a course on fMRI can bring their own research questions and dataset and get to a point where they are comfortable doing mvpa?

Want to get editing experience? If you have a PhD & are a member of a group that’s historically underrepresented in editorial roles, apply for a 1 yr editorial fellowship at one of APS’s journals (including Psych Science)! Deadline 7 Feb. Please share! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our new paper in Psych Review (psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...; with @oisinryan.bsky.social and @fdabl.bsky.social), we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4

Philosophy & Theory of Neuroscience Conference 🧠 next week @ Chapman & available via zoom.Talks by @drmichaellevin.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social Newsome, Yassa, Roskies, Carolyn Parkinson, Frederick Eberhardt & many others! www.chapman.edu/scst/confere... #philsky #philsci #neuroskyence

Wow, non-invasive stimulation of the human hippocampus & entorhinal cortex during VR-navigation inside the MRI scanner! Impressive technical achievement and interesting result. By Beanato et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Amazing talk by Bea Luna on E/I balance and critical period plasticity during adolescence. The optimal outcome obviously being @dylanggee.bsky.social

You may think you’re a Bayesian. But do you live on…

First lab meeting of the semester. Celebrated some 2024 lab wins: a few papers published/accepted, 1 grant sanctioned, all DD students placed, etc. Looking forward to what 2025 brings us!

www.instagram.com/reel/DD9BgAp... The reel shows my fitness journey in 2024, and the attached pic depicts the overall journey so far. This is probably the most important commitment I've made both for myself and my family.

So glad to end 2024 on a positive note. More here: tinyurl.com/2f7cmu72 Thanks to all my students, collaborators, colleagues, and well-wishers! Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone!

A brief overview of Drift Diffusion Modeling (DDM) a 🧪 🧵 The DDM is a type of formal model that maps the underlying cognitive processes in decision making. One advantage of DDM is it allows you to not just know what decision someone makes but also HOW they came to that decision. 🧵1/8

After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between #neuroscience, cognitive science, and #AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇 #NeuroAI #CompNeuro
