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.

Excited to share Jongmin Lee’s discovery of abstract codes guiding prospective working memory! Thread below. doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

🚨 I'm searching for a full-time research coordinator to join my group & work on precision brain 🧠 network and cognitive control projects at both 3T and 7T. Please rt 🙌 Applications due: Feb. 26 Start date: flexible, as early as June More 👇 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Hey #SfN25 #SfN2025, come by DD10 this afternoon to see Jongmin Lee's poster showing that iTBS to DLPFC and FPl dissociably affect cognitive flexibility, neural efficiency, and conjunctive coding in the PFC!

👇Happening this afternoon at #SfN25 #SfN2025 as part of a nano poster group on finescale organization of the PFC, including work from @rodbraga.bsky.social @derekevannee.bsky.social @abbynoyce.bsky.social @visscherlab.bsky.social @neurojacob.bsky.social and more! Come see them all 👀👀👀

I am recruiting a postdoc at UC Santa Barbara for an NIH-funded project on the organization of lateral PFC function--across emotion and cognition--using representational fMRI & TMS. I’d love to find someone w/ a background in cognitive control & computational modeling to complement our team! 🏝️ 🧠 🧲

The lateral prefrontal cortex 🧠— which we think of as critical for goal driven behavior + is a target for psychiatric treatments— is fundamentally different in individuals relative to the group averages we’ve often studied. 👇see preprint and thread, led by Zach Ladwig #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

1/11 Excited to share our @Naturestudy led by @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social AI performance is known to scale with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Excited to share my first preprint investigating the feasibility and reliability of using precision RSFC in people with Parkinson’s disease! 🧠👇 📄: go.illinois.edu/PDfeasibility 🧵 Thread ⬇️ 1/12

🚨 We’re hiring! The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Virginia Tech is looking for a postdoc to join our team studying the neural + computational mechanisms of structure learning and flexible cognition: ccnvt.github.io#positions

In this Article, Paluch et al. show that unattended working memory items, as well as attended ones, are encoded in persistent activity in the medial temporal lobe. @jankaminski.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I will be looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, using EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI, or related methods. If you know anybody, please tell them to email me. Formal ad to follow. Lab website: wessellab.org

New modeling paper, spearheaded by Raphael Geddert and Seth Madlon-Kay, now out in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review: "Modeling of control over task switching and cross-task interference supports a two-dimensional model of cognitive stability and flexibility". Free read link: rdcu.be/epatc

Check out my newest preprint to see the TCP dataset in action! 🤘🧠 Brain network dynamics reflect psychiatric illness status and transdiagnostic symptom profiles across health and disease: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to announce that our paper (led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Derek Smith) is out in @nathumbehav.nature.com go.illinois.edu/Lee2025_NHB We use 36 days of testing in 4 inhibitory control tasks to examine the precision of inhibitory control measures in *individuals* and how they vary 🧵👇

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

New paper alert! Have you ever looked at single-trial fMRI activation maps? If so, you know that they are super variable. Here we show that the variability is not just noise. In fact, the same task can consistently elicit different activation patterns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

The Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience program at FSU is recruiting PhD students and we would love to chat with you at #SfN24! psychology.fsu.edu/graduate/pro...

Ever wonder how people's brains differ from one another? ▶️Individual differences in 🧠 organization commonly come in 2 forms: shifts in borders & 'ectopic intrusions' far from expected locations Now out in Nature Neuro & led by Ally Dworetsky rdcu.be/dGeIp #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging 🧵 soon!

The one reviewer that completed the review has my eternal gratitude. Really wish there were more of you out there...

Hi neuroSky, thanks to Lynn Nadel & Sarah Aronowitz I wrote a book chapter on multiscale predictive representations that connect the past to the future, memory to prediction & planning. There's still time to edit it & I'd love to read your comments! Am I missing citations? arxiv.org/abs/2401.09491
