Correction: June 11. On Thurs, 6/11/26, 8pm, I will give the PSW public science lecture at the Cosmos Club in DC
And you (yes, you) can watch online:

The cortex is not best understood as a set of fully separate, self-contained modules. Instead, regions work together in a more integrated, network-like way.

I was happy to be a part.
New results! The prefrontal cortex uses a compact, low-dimensional “coding space”. Information can be captured in just 3–6 dimensions. The brain compresses what we remember.

Congratulations to the newly minted *Dr.* Adam Eisen. He has that new Ph.D. smell.

This results from a continual reduction in dimensionality and the organization of incoming signals via predictive feedback.

Circuit-level computational models can do more than explain existing data; they can generate novel hypotheses and capture individual differences in human populations. We demonstrate this using a bioph...
Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by differentially modulating responses to inputs targeting distal dendritic and p...
Categorization, the grouping of objects, living organisms, actions or events into equivalence clusters, is fundamental to adaptive behaviour. In this Perspective, Barrett and Miller discuss evidence t...
