🎊New Lab Alert!
I'll be starting at the 🧡University of Texas at Austin🧡 this August! More info to come.

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.
Attention fluctuates over time and across contexts—how is this reflected in the brain?🧠Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, we show that the geometry of neural dynamics along the attractor landscape reflects changes in attention. Out in @natcomms.nature.com

Last weekend I received the Troland Research Award from the @nationalacademies.org. I’m so grateful to the communities who made this work possible.
It's strange to receive this award at a time when much of the work being recognized is not eligible for federal funding.
My remarks 👇 and a 🧵>>
My undergraduate thesis, "Distinct patterns of social contagion under risk and ambiguity", is now published online at @commspsychol.nature.com
Deeply grateful for the guidance and constant support of Dr. Qingtian Mi, Prof. Jian Li, and Prof. Lusha Zhu.
Two new facts stand out:
1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!)
2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect.

Large language models (LLMs) are known to generate plausible but false information across a wide range of contexts, yet the real-world magnitude and consequences of this hallucination problem remain p...
Two experiments show that observing others shifts both risk and ambiguity preferences. Risk contagion is asymmetric, with stronger alignment toward risk-averse others, whereas ambiguity contagion is more symmetric.
