Finally out! nature.com/articles/s4427… On top of all the findings in the linked preprint thread ⬇️ this new and improved published version contains an important addition on test-retest reliability across different time points, and how this affects various types of tasks, a short 🧵
Very excited to share the first preprint from our lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 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. 🧵
Please join us!! Don't answer atrocities with more atrocities. This is not the way... Not in our name! forms.gle/wQTAGFtUTfwWX7…
📢 I'm looking for a postdoc to join my lab at NYU! Come work with me on a principled, theory-driven approach to studying language, learning, and reasoning, in humans and AI agents. Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/170656 And come chat with me at #CogSci2025 if interested!
Our hope exactly: "I look forward to the day when Israeli scientists can freely collaborate with scientists in Iran and do good for the region and for humanity. I wish the same for scientists in Gaza and throughout the Middle East." @WeizmannScience nature.com/articles/d4158…
Our latest work is out today in @NeuroCellPress . Using voltage imaging, we clarified how serotonergic neurons compute action effectiveness during learning behavior. With Ravid Haruvi, @zq_wei and @MishaAhrens sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Must read new book by Nachum Ulanovsky!! The book outlines a new revolutionary approach for studying the brain closer to the natural behavior of animals and humans — namely, taking a more ecological approach to neuroscience.
Nachum's new book Natural Neuroscience is out! A fresh take on how brains work in the real world—well worth a read.
Was great to be able to contribute to this fantastic project led by @Simone_Luchini
Enhancing creativity through neurofeedback: Check out our recent paper where we use covert neurofeedback to entrain default-executive coupling during creative thinking! Xinbing (Jack) Zhang, Jack White, @Michael_Luehrs, @MichalRamot, & @Roger_Beaty academic.oup.com/cercor/article…
My speech at the UN on the work of SafeHeart our non profit giving clinical care to the Nova Survivors and the amazing research with them at @UofHaifa. youtu.be/89Uf8l1FHkQ
We are excited to share our work on dynamical constraints on neural population activity, published as a cover article in @NatureNeuro. It was led by Emily Oby, @AlanDegenhart, @ErinnGrigsby, with @aaronbatista and team. nature.com/articles/s4159… (1/n)
In time for the new year! Our single-cell dataset of male and hermaphrodite brains is online! & a freely available website weizmann.ac.il/dimorgena/ A Blueprint of Sex-Specific Neuronal Regulation in the C. elegans Nervous System at Single-Cell Resolution biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Lab's first published paper!! 🚨 We introduce Perceived Immunity (PI) - a new construct capturing perceived immune efficacy. Using a novel scale, we show that PI prospectively predicts physical symptoms up to 14 months, beyond baseline symptoms. Why is this important? … 🧵
Our perspective on the frontiers of neuroscience beyond the nervous system. Thank you, @CellCellPress, for the opportunity to collaborate with our partners @NadineGogolla and @SLiberles. Thanks Chi Jingyi and Popescu, Miranda. My special thanks to Megan Sammons.
