🎉New paper out today in Nature Reviews Psychology🎉 with @mjdahl.bsky.social, @mariamaly.bsky.social, and @thiasmittner.bsky.social.
We've been working on a unified framework for attentional states and the dynamics of transitions between them.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm thrilled and humbled to share some major updates! (A 🧵 but TLDR: graduated from Yale, joining Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea as an IBS Young Scientist Fellow this summer, and starting as an assistant professor in Vanderbilt's College of Connected Computing in Fall 2027!)
I will be at CCN and SfN this year, so please reach out if you'd like to connect.
🎊New Lab Alert!
I'll be starting at the 🧡University of Texas at Austin🧡 this August! More info to come.

1/ New preprint! Reasoning models often require hundreds of task examples and thousands of rollouts to improve on a task. How can they learn more from much less?
Introducing CORE: contrastive self-reflection for rapid, sample-efficient, and interpretable self-improvement 🧵
Excited to share our new review in Trends in Neuroscience with Gouki Okazawa @gouki-okazawa.bsky.social :
"The 'neat' and 'messy' in task-dependent neural geometry and computation"
where we reviewed what we know about the 'task-manager' in the brain.

The Naturalistic Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Lab is launching at UT Austin and is looking for founding members at all levels, including lab manager, PhD students, and postdocs! #NeuroJobs
We will study human brain🧠 and memory & attention, using fMRI and modeling.

Self-Attention (QKV) mechanism can enable neural nets solve a sudoku-like relational reasoning problem, and can map onto brain.
Come across this fascinating preprint today, it has give me a lot of thoughts so couldn’t help to share this out.
