@WilmaBainbridge Congratulations, Wilma!!!

I got tenure!!!!!!!!

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀 Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to? Try out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)! A few options below!🧵👇 1/9

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript 🔥 🐭🔬📰 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

🚨 Johns Hopkins psych & brain sci is hiring! 🚨 TWO open-rank faculty positions: one in cognition, broadly construed, the other in cognitive neuroscience We're excited about lots of research areas & approaches, including development & animal cognition! apply.interfolio.com/155721

We append to the body of work formalizing 'momentum' as an integrative signal that facilitates persistence in mental states. Special nods to 'Psychological momentum' by @chrishoney, @amahabal @buddhikabellana, and 'Mood as momentum' by @eraneldar, @RobbRutledge, @yael_niv

Apes remember past groupmates for decades! Check out our latest work, just published in @PNASNews with @LauraSimoneLew, @northernlimitpt, @fkano, @Jeronobo1, and Josep Call Video Summary: youtu.be/DsGS4_t_HW4?si… Paper: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

JOB 🚨 Our behavioral biology undergrad program @JohnsHopkins is recruiting open-rank teaching faculty with expertise in Behavioral Evolution, Neuroethology, or Evolutionary Neuroscience. Sept 15 deadline, ideally for Jan start. Reach out w questions! apply.interfolio.com/127983

@tianminshu @JHUCompSci @JohnsHopkins Welcome, Tianmin!

Excited to announce that I will be joining @JHUCompSci as an assistant prof in Jan 2024. I’m grateful to all my mentors and collaborators. Looking forward to working with the brilliant students and colleagues at @JohnsHopkins.

new pre-print: "Reverse engineering the self" (by L.A. Paul, me, Julian De Freitas @JulianDeFreitas, and Josh Tenenbaum) In which we combine philosophy, cog-sci & CS to propose a framework for reverse-engineering an agent that can “think for itself” psyarxiv.com/vzwrn/

** Job Advert **, please RT! Abundant Intelligences is an ambitious research program exploring how to integrate Indigenous Knowledges and AI. They are are looking to fill two full time positions: Senior Program Manager and Finance Manager. See here: indigenous-ai.net/abundant-jobs.

1/n Excited to share our work on Understanding Social Reasoning in LMs w/ LMs! We present a new framework for procedurally generating evals for LMs by populating abstract causal templates! We generate a scalable theory of mind eval, BigToM, w/ 25 conditions & 5k LM written evals!

@anne_churchland @AnnaSchapiro @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla Best wishes, Anne! Thank you for reminding us to get screened.

I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla

Excited to share this new work from the lab! Our first foray into human learning experiments. Read @aaronwang_23 tweeprint to learn more about how humans learn without instructions in a simple task (it may surprise you!) Just a few words about the team that made this happen (1/5)

@tallinzen Congratulations, Tal!!!

So a nice thing that just happened is I got tenure!

We are looking for a new Research Coordinator to join the Braga Lab and assist with experiments using precision fMRI to study brain organization within individuals. Apply at link below or DM for more details! 🧠 careers.northwestern.edu/psp/hr857prd_e…

Now out @CurrentBiology. Our work using calcium imaging to study visual processing in the octopus brain! cell.com/current-biolog…

@AnnaSchapiro If there's a silver lining, having an impersonator is confirmation that you've made the big time, Anna!

There’s an imposter account sending people weird messages. 😮 Block it if it writes to you / follows you!

@FredBarrettPhD Congratulations, Fred!

Gradients of neurotransmitter receptor expression in the macaque cortex, out now in @NatureNeuro. nature.com/articles/s4159… Our findings: 1/7

Excited to announce that our paper “Intracranial electrophysiological and structural basis of BOLD functional connectivity in human brain white matter” is now out at Nature Communications @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146….
