Our eyes don't linger because recognition is hard; they linger to remember. Let me take you on a quick tour. 🧵
By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...
Chenonceau: mesoscopic MRI deep phenotyping of a post-mortem human brain at 7 and 11.7 Tesla https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.26.726838v1
New MEG preprint out! Huge congrats to postdoc Rohit Yadav. We (among other things…) decoded explore-exploit decisions in the human brain, revealing the lateral frontopolar cortex kicks off the shift to exploration hundreds of milliseconds before the choice itself. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
One of the best and most interesting papers that I've read in the last year is even featured in a short podcast. Congrats on the fantastic work @brainaddiction.bsky.social!
