Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship?
Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him.

I send my deep gratitude to my mentors, Monica @monicarosenb.bsky.social, YC @ycleong.bsky.social, ShiNung @shinung.bsky.social & Zach @zreagh.bsky.social, for everything.
go see rochelle's talk!
In collaboration with @monicarosenb.bsky.social , we showed that individual diffs in LTM encoding is uniquely predicted by inter-electrode correlations even controlling for working memory abilities. This suggests that WM & LTM encoding are separate abilities coded by different neural signatures! 1/n
🚨🚨 Job Alert! 🚨🚨
We are seeking a full-time Study Coordinator for a
NIMH-funded project that aims to uncover cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying maladaptive food-choice behavior in anorexia nervosa using behavior, eye tracking, fMRI, and computational models. Pls spread the word!

If your advisor sends you an unclear email, do you interpret it as good or bad? 😏😱
In a new paper, we show how people make inferences about this type of ambiguous feedback during learning.
