I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

🎊New Lab Alert! I'll be starting at the 🧡University of Texas at Austin🧡 this August! More info to come. thesonglab.github.io I send my deep gratitude to my mentors, Monica @monicarosenb.bsky.social, YC @ycleong.bsky.social, ShiNung @shinung.bsky.social & Zach @zreagh.bsky.social, for everything.

Presenting tomorrow at #VSS2026! 📍 Sun 5/17, 8:30am–12:30pm · Pavilion 33.440 "Segmentation as Proactive Control: Gaze Entropy Reveals Rising Uncertainty Prior to Event Boundaries"

Why do some people never get lost while others rely on GPS? A new review, written by @hugospiers.bsky.social and @emre-yavuz-21.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44... argues that navigation ability is shaped by both fixed factors (age, genetics) and modifiable ones (sleep, exercise, experience).

When does using AI to produce research slip into fraud? And why does so much AI-for-science 'optimism' actually rest on a deeply pessimistic view of scientific agency? 🤔 New post: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/04/22/f...

@cathyzhang.bsky.social's paper on inferring mind wandering from behavior alone is now out in Communications Psychology!

Happening today!!! Don't forget to check it out 💗

Heading to @cogneuronews.bsky.social ? I vibe-coded this tool to help you find relevant talks/posters, build a schedule, and export it to your calendar. Enter your research interests and it does the matching. No personal data is stored. #CNS2026

Walking from pasta to the frozen aisle — do you forget your goal of eating healthier? The cognitive question is: when your experience shifts, does your mind update incrementally or globally? The answer might surprise you. 🧵 1/3

My lab is recruiting a postdoc and a full-time research technician to work on an NIH-funded project studying age-related changes in memory for naturalistic events. Behavior, fMRI, and blood-based biomarkers. 3+ years funding guaranteed. Postdoc: tinyurl.com/ykjfbnj8 Tech: tinyurl.com/2f2hw3f5

1/ 🚨 New preprint Key Moments Scaffold the Semantic Structure of Narratives Using spoken recall and annotations from three naturalistic datasets with topic modeling, we ask: which parts of a narrative contribute most to its semantic structure and subsequently memory? Preprint: osf.io/dcfvw

Excited to share our paper (with @jzacks.bsky.social), now out in JEP:LMC! Event boundaries sometimes disrupt temporal order memory in list-based paradigms—but what happens in narratives with more complex structures that better resemble real life? ✨ Link: psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-...

Excited to share that our new paper, “Predictive Looking and Predictive Looking Errors in Everyday Activities,” is now out in JEP: General! 🧠 We examined how people’s eye movements reveal both their predictions and their prediction errors while they watch everyday actions. 👇
