New work from our lab investigating the relationship between repetition suppression, repetition priming and increases in oscillatory power in simultaneous fMRI-EEG. Induced power increases are strongly associated with priming magnitude, supporting a mix of the synchrony and facilitation models.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

This is a vile move. All the more disgusting and infuriating that itâs being framed about âprotectingâ Jewish students. You know whatâs actually anti-Semitic? using Jews as pawns in this disgusting fascist theatre. Donât take the bait and let it divide us. đĄ

The Trump administration blamed the universityâs failure to protect Jewish students from harassment during protests last year over the war in Gaza.

Soohyunâs work has been lifting the field for a long time, a big inspiration to our own, and this study is the latest example. Great call

This is science from my group in the NIH intramural program, which aims to understand what goes wrong in cognitive syndromes like dementia and schizophrenia. These diseases probably affect neural computations. Thatâs why weâre doing this science: to figure that out.

This is a travesty. The students who participated in the NIH SIP program were all incredible scholars and those that I had the privilege of working with are now entrepreneurs, physicians, and engineers.

Thing is, it's not just a big cut - it's a cut that hits the framework in which research happens. It's like taking away half the shoes in your closet, only it's *all* the left shoes in every pair. Are we supposed to hop on one foot?
