Hot new preprint just dropped w/@NeuroPolarbear and @MorenoBote , on where we explore “Rational Inattention" and how it drives optimally irrational choices and neural coding of value. 1/n biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Houston is an affordable and diverse major metropolitan city with the largest medical center in the 🌎, a vibrant neuroengineering community @RiceNeuro, and a budding neurotech industry including our friends at @motifneuro 📈. Not to mention unbeatable food and fun neighborhoods!

This is an amazing opportunity for recent grads interested in clinical neuroengineering applications. You will get to work with our Houston-based dream team, including @SameerShethMD, Ben Hayden @NeuroPolarbear, and Wayne Goodman.

We are hiring! ✨ looking for a postdoc? Join our team to help lead our newly funded NIH Brain Initiative clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of DBS for bipolar depression and discover neurobehavioral biomarkers that could enable remote tracking of clinical status 🧠⚡️

The macaque brain can link action to value in a choice task through neural population subspaces, balancing reliable binding of action to value and generalization to novel stimuli @wjeffjohnston @JustFineNeuro @NeuroPolarbear nature.com/articles/s4159…

How does the brain represent multiple different things at once in a single population of neurons? @JustFineNeuro, @NeuroPolarbear, @BecketEbs, @neuromochi and I show that it uses semi-orthogonal subspaces for each item. Preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2309.07766 Tweets below! (1/n)

Thanks for reading and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

We also include a lot more control analyses in the supplement, and have expanded our discussion of how this idea of binding contrasts with something like a "slots" model.


Neuro Polarbear Reposted

This paper was significantly improved thanks to the reviewers. In the task, subjects see a sequence of two offers, we have expanded our treatment of how the representation of this sequence changes over time -- the different offers are represented in different subspaces here too!

How does the brain bind action to value? How does it navigate a tradeoff between this binding and generalization to novel situations? Out today in Nature Neuro! rdcu.be/dUbMd @JustFineNeuro @NeuroPolarbear @BecketEbs @neuromochi See original 🧵 + updates below

If the assignment says to use Chatgpt but I do it myself instead, would I be called up for academic dishonesty?

Last semester I had the students in a writing intensive course at Smith College submit drafts to ChatGPT to get feedback, and then had them incorporate the feedback into their final versions. Please apologize for accusing me of making something up. See chatgpt.com/g/g-mRceJGV6Z-…

This is an open violation of NIH policy. An explicit condition of activation of the R00 is that the Chair must certify that transfer of the R00 to the institution was not a condition of hiring.

Happy science fact of the day: It's a year since the first Imaging Neuroscience paper was published, with 280 papers since then. Hence in just the first year, over half a million dollars has stayed within academia, rather than going to Elsevier [shareholders etc].
