Our @TrendsNeuro review on task representational spaces in OFC/vmPFC and in deep RL models is now out! Had a great time working on it with @nir_moneta and @nico_schuck, check it out here:
cell.com
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and ventromedial-prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) play a key role in decision-making and encode task states in addition to expected value. We review evidence suggesting a...
Excited to share our review, w. @ShanyGrossman (shared 1st!) and @nico_schuck where we discuss representational spaces in OFC/vmPFC and in deep RL models, featuring values, states and much more! https://t.co/4qfFoZlm6x. Fresh from the (virtual) print now in @TrendsNeuro , 1/4

New preprint! “N2 Sleep Inspires Insight” – dream collab (pun intended) with my partner in crime @MaritPetzka and @nico_schuck

Humans sometimes have an insight that leads to a sudden and drastic performance im-provement on the task they are working on. The precise origins of such insights are unknown. Some evidence has shown...

Very excited to share the first preprint from our lab! https://t.co/BY4iMinKmA We develop a metric to score how well different tasks reliably separate individuals. We demonstrate this on a dataset of 250+ participants, and provide a simple tool for assessing old and new tasks. 🧵
biorxiv.org
The surge in interest in individual differences has coincided with the latest replication crisis centered around brain-wide association studies of brain-behavior correlations. Yet the reliability of...

How does dopamine influence directional signals in the brain of older & younger adults? Happy to put up a new preprint of my PhD work on spatial cognition and aging in collab with @Li_Lab_TUD. Very lucky to work on stunning data including L-DOPA admin:
biorxiv.org
Previous studies indicate a role of dopamine in hippocampus-dependent spatial navigation. Although neural representations of direction are an important aspect of spatial cognition, it is not well...

Excited to share work w/ @nico_schuck out now in @NatureComms! 💫 We introduce a new fMRI analysis method to decode fast neural event sequences and report replay in visual cortex following a non-mnemonic task! 🧠 - 📜 Paper: https://t.co/NsLPzaTv84 - 🧵 Thread below! 👇 [1/n]

Why computers can understand animals better than humans? We have a cool new paper that tries to explain just that; including a roadmap to building a translator from animal behavior into intelligible human concepts. https://t.co/9A5u8jmOmy

I'm super-excited to share our work, out today @nature! “A Measure of Smell Enables Creation of #Olfactory Metamers” In short: We designed #odors that did not share a single molecular component (a.k.a metamers), yet could not be discriminated by #human subjects. #tweetorial 1/n

Hexadecanal, or HEX, in short, is a volatile molecule with no perceived odor that is emitted from the human body. The bottom line? We found that exposure to HEX modifies human aggressive behavior. https://t.co/6qBUiTCLAu Here is the breakdown -> 1/8

Terrestrial mammals use pheromones to effectively trigger or block conspecific aggression. Here we tested whether hexadecanal (HEX), a human body-volatile implicated as a mammalian-wide social odor,...

Human exploit structural knowledge to infer the existence of unobserved transitions and choose a preferable policy. We suggest a computational mechanism of representing and inferring this complex structural knowledge. @moran_rani @behrenstimb

I'm asking Twitter community for help once again: I need a consult about my mom's recovery and meds, 5 months poststroke (ruptured PCA aneurysm followed by vasospasm). Thanks in advance.
If there is any neurologist/neurosurgeon willing to spare some time, I need urgent consultation. My mom had a stroke while stuck in a foreign country due to corona. I can't be with her. I have some angiography that I need opinion on. Please DM. @AcademicChatter

We are pleased to let you know that our new paper just appeared in cerebral cortex! We present evidence supporting the hypothesis that resting state fluctuations constitute a mechanism for the generation of free and creative behaviors in the human brain. https://t.co/sweCC4CUWv
