The brain computes by processing information over time through interactions between connectivity and dynamics that are hard to model. Here we infer these interactions from data and find they better predict cognitive performance! www.nature.com/articles/s41... w/ @lindenmp.bsky.social

How does the brain🧠 make causal inferences and use memories to understand narratives🎬? We built an RNN🤖 with key-value episodic memory that learns causal relationships between events and retrieves memories like humans do! Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... w/ @qlu.bsky.social, Tan Nguyen &👇

Preprint⭐ Our attention changes over time and differs across contexts—which is reflected in the brain🧠 Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, we find that the geometry of neural dynamics along the attractor landscape reflects such changes in attention! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Alert!!!! “An Action Networks Model for Pain” We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it. 👉 thread below 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Big year for our lab at #OHBM2025! Thrilled to present an exciting mix of posters, talks, and lots of brainy fun 🧠🤓 Come check us out! We’d love to connect! @cognizelab.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social #OHBM #OHBM2025 #Neuroimaging

Does your favorite song actually relieve pain? We looked into the brain to find out. 🧠🎶❓ Come check out Poster #0780 (Wed/Thur) at #OHBM2025! In collaboration with McGill University — Elise Desbarats & Prof. Mathieu Roy.

🧠📖 New paper out! How does the brain make sense of a story? Combining behavioral data, #fMRI, and #LLMs, our study explores how distinct hippocampal-cortical systems support the #encoding and #sequencing of #narrative events during ongoing comprehension. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Our new @NatureHumBehav paper shows why we need a holistic pain biomarker framework. ML on blood tests, brain/bone imaging & genetics predicts clinical diagnoses but falls short on subjective pain. Adding psychosocial (mood, sleep, stress) boosts both. shorturl.at/vxxeO

Dreaming of a dataset that tracks mood, sleep & activity to better understand affective instability (AI)…AND paired with advanced MRI? 🤯 Check out our new bioRxiv preprint for a 13–23 y/o community sample (n=10 and growing!) with multi-echo fMRI, EMA & actigraphy: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi, I’m very pleased to share my social memory project with my PI Won Mok Shim and amazing collaborators @myoo.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... How does the hippocampus integrate multiple cognitive processes for memory encoding and retrieval?🧠 Here’s what we found⬇️:

This paper is magical.

😄The final version of my first Ph.D. project is published in PLOS Biology. We showed the spatiotemporal profile of how the brain mediates cue-stimulus integration in pain, interpreting the findings in terms of cortical hierarchy from association to sensorimotor systems. plos.io/4fsaanu

Finally,😃 the first project during the Ph.D. program is published in PLOS Biology. We examined the spatiotemporal brain dynamics of context and sensory information integration in pain. Thanks to my advisor @choongwanwoo.bsky.social and co-authors Seok-Jun Hong and Elizabeth Losin. plos.io/4fsaanu

📢 Exciting news! My first first-author paper on brain decoding of spontaneous thought is now available on PNAS. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... ✅ Summary: We developed fMRI-based predictive models of spontaneous thought using personal stories as stimuli. (1/4)

Hi, I’m very pleased to share the preprint of my first project with my PI @choongwanwoo.bsky.social and amazing collaborators Seok-Jun Hong and E.A.R. Losin. Here we examined the behavioral and neural dynamics of pain as a continuous integration process (1/8) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
