Thrilled to share our new opinion piece—hot off the press—on attentional sampling, co-authored with the magnificent Flor Kusnir and Daniele Re. It captures where our thinking has landed on this topic after years of work. cell.com/trends/cogniti…

Nice review, but why "controversies"? Evidence isn’t controversial. Like "epiphenomenon," it often just means, "doesn’t fit my hypothesis." That’s ad hominem science. Brain rhythms in cognition -- controversies and future directions arxiv.org/abs/2507.15639 #neuroscience
