Excited to share @andrewpapale1's new preprint with Vanessa Brown, Angela Ianni, @bealuna55 and Michael Hallquist While PFC default network and posterior hippocampus encode value-laden maps during exploitation, their connectivity reflects exploration.

Excited to share that our paper with Tim Allen and Michael Hallquist on antagonism and tracking of cooperation incentives in the default network is out in PNAS: Social learning supports cooperation, but it can also serve the dark side of human nature.

Excited to share our new paper with Michael Hallquist @kaihwang12 and @bealuna55, bridging working memory and RL accounts of how rewards resolve option competition within parietal maps as one shifts from exploration to exploitation.

Strange to think that I lived 2 blocks from the Rostov Circus/South Military District Command between the ages of 1-8. The official name is appropriately "The State Circus".

. as circuit models of option competition in the dorsal cortex suggest, beta1/alpha oscillatory output of posterior cortical subpopulations desynchronizes when more competing options emerge and synchronizes when non-preferred alternatives are compressed out.

Preprint with Michael Hallquist, @kaihwang12 and @bealuna55: Reinforcement-based option competition in human dorsal stream during exploration/exploitation of a continuous space

Also, new way to integrate behavior, fMRI and self-report measures using ML-SEM:

Excited about Tim Allen's new preprint with Michael Hallquist. We propose that as DMN expanded in anthropogenesis, emerging social cognitive abilities enabled not only cooperation, but also sophisticated manipulation and deception:

Thank you all! Ended up renewing the passport. I subsequently asked an Italian border agent in Fiumicino, and he said they do require 6-mo passport validity.

Do people have experience with entering Italy with American passport valid for <90 d.? Mine's good for >3 months past intended return, but <90d (idiot, how did I miss that?) Traveling Dec. 20, State Dept. gave urgent app't, wondering if it's worth the 7hr drive to Buffalo & back.
