Do you or someone you know work on the neurobiology of cognition, and is an early career researcher? The cognition GRS is open for applications! Human, non-human, computational models are all welcome. Apply here now: grc.org/neurobiology-o…

Here’s a sharedit link to the paper: rdcu.be/eX1Lt

A new study out of Mehrdad Jazayeri's lab reveals how the brain integrates observations of others’ experiences with personal experience to better understand the world. mcgovern.mit.edu/2026/01/07/lea… The findings are published today in the journal @Nature.

@gregeganSF this is a cool puzzle because one may have intuition of 1/2 due to symmetry. “A and B are equally likely to be further from the mean!” but obv this formulation does not ask that.

@gregeganSF 3/4: P(B<A|A>0.5)+P(B>A|A<0.5)

Alice, Bob, and N people too numerous to name are all given independent, uniformly chosen random numbers between 0 and 1. Assuming odd N, what is lim N→∞ of the probability that Bob’s number and a majority of the N numbers lie on the same side (i.e. < or >) of Alice’s number.

and it weighs these sources differently by aligning the readout axis more to self evidence.

Glad to share my first paper in postdoc! This was a huge undertaking by many people over the years: @SetayeshRadkani Neelima Valluru @neuromochi @mjaz_jazlab I hope you read it! But the short version is this: ACC integrates evidence from self experience and observed experience...

Moving talk from Michelle about how basic neuroscience research changed her life. She had debilitating tremors for more than 50 years and after her DBS surgery they stopped "like a light switch." #SimCo24

@j_welklin @ScienceMagazine @CognitiveEcol congrats! 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

New in @sciencemagazine, we show that spatial cognitive ability is associated with longevity in food-caching Mountain Chickadees. And @CognitiveEcol’s photo was selected for the cover! #ScienceResearch. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n

Scott Imbrie, who has two implants in the motor regions of his cerebral cortex, gives a tribute to Sliman Bensmaia at #SimCo24.

@Ani_finch wow amazing. congrats Anindita and @JanieOndracek!

Happy insanity of chronic Neuropixels recordings in songbirds. Reveals some interesting cross-areal dynamics. First of the manuscripts from this side of the ocean! #Neuroscience #Songbird #sleep #Neuropixels biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@LLogiaco @CUAnschutz Congratulations!

It's been hard to find the words, but here goes: I have been given the wonderful opportunity to start as an assistant professor @CUAnschutz in July 2025. That also means opportunities for postdocs & grad students interested in models of motor circuits (simonsfoundation.org/people/laureli…).

@Noahpinion It’s an advantage, but not that useful. you get shorter trip times if fuel is not limiting. in combat, torpedos and railguns are much faster than ships, though earthers may be better at sustained evasive manuevers. mcrn is much better at stealth tech which matters a lot more.

In the Expanse, how come Earth ships don't just fly circles around everyone else because Earthers can survive higher g-forces?

A layman's summary of our recent paper on mental navigation in the primate brain (my postdoctoral work w/ @FieteGroup and @mjaz_jazlab): nature.com/articles/d4158… (open access link here: rdcu.be/dPlVT) Full paper here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

@ajinkya_dahake @SchmidtFellows Yay! Congrats!

This past weekend we held our first BCI hackathon at @MIT ! The goal of this event was to simulate a real-world BCI problem: an EEG controlled wheelchair for individuals suffering from severe motor impairment. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

I am recruiting a postdoc in computational / systems neuroscience to study mechanisms of social communication and cognition in budgerigars. We are cracking this system wide open. Please share. youtu.be/0r7-QvwqVjM

Controlling a @DuckietownAI rover with a @Brain_Products EEG headset! My first hackathon. We got second place! Thanks to @Federico_claudi and @BCI_init for a fantastic event.

i'm surprised that sora outputs show a lot of physics violations. why not use text to generate procedures for a simulation (in a game engine) then touch up to account for visuals? they show capability to change input sequence to another style.

Reminder to send your app by tomorrow!
