I will be leaving X/Twitter and moving to Bluesky.


New preprint led by a brilliant former student in the lab! @ZhuYu98790 introduces a new technique to denoise fMRI data using contrastive variational autoencoders.

Excited to share my first #preprint!! tinyurl.com/49ec9myy We introduce DeepCor: a method using deep contrastive artificial neural networks to remove noise from fMRI data. DeepCor outperforms CompCor - a popular denoising technique - by as much as 400%. 1/5



Really cool work! Way to go @CraigPoskanzer @mariam_s_aly

How do we balance paying attention to the external world vs our internal thoughts? The basal forebrain & dorsal attention network dynamically interact with the hippocampus to balance external and internal attention. Super proud of @CraigPoskanzer! 😊 jneurosci.org/content/early/…



There is a new tenure track opening in our department (Psych and Neuro) at Boston College! The opening is part of a cluster hire with the African & African Diaspora Studies program. You can apply here: apply.interfolio.com/129408 . Please reach out if you have any questions!

Our dept (Psych & Neuro) is hiring! Open-area tenure-track, as part of cluster hire with the African & African Diaspora Studies program: apply.interfolio.com/129408 BC is a great place to do research and mentor students. My teaching load is 1-1 (norm for research-active faculty).

This work is now published! We show complementary roles for lateral entorhinal cortex and middle temporal gyrus in building integrative temporal relational knowledge from experiences of events. EC integrates rapidly, MTG builds slowly. doi.org/10.1093/cercor…

Wonderful research!!

Hooray, it's officially out now! "An Approximate Representation of Objects Underlies Physical Reasoning" psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2023-… led by @Yichen74893764, with YingQiao Wang, @talboger, @realkevinsmith, @gershbrain, and me

Happy to announce that this paper by my student Narges Doostani @DoostaniNarges is out on elife. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot working with her on this.

Our paper is out in @eLife doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… . With Gholam-Ali Hossein-Zadeh and @mvazirip, we show the role of normalization in the human visual cortex during object-based attention.

Excited to share our new paper🎉 How do people predict what emotions others will experience? To study this remarkable feat of everyday social intelligence, we frame emotion prediction as causal reasoning over a Bayesian Theory of Mind. 📝 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109… 🧵1/

That's our @ihandleyminer !! 😍

Happy to share this new paper w/ @asmithflores, now out in @natrevpsych! In it we outline a theory about how intuitive psychology can support systematic joint reasoning about social relationships and emotions… (short thread)

Bispectral Neural Networks go to #ICLR2023! In this work, we present a new neural network architecture capable of learning unknown groups purely from the symmetries implicit in data —with @cashewmake2, Bruno Olshausen, and Christopher Hillar 1/17

Congrats to @Mengting_Fang - her paper (twitter.com/Mengting_Fang/…) is on the cover of Journal of Neuroscience! @SfNJournals @SfNtweets

Excited to announce that our paper is out in the Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals! With @A_Aglinskas, @Yichen74893764, and @steanze, we identified the angular gyrus as a multi-category dependence (MCD) site that jointly encodes information from different object categories.
