Hidden camera of Project 2025
Reminder— here was Russ Vought, Trump’s budget guy just confirmed 53-47 by the senate, caught on a hidden camera saying Trump’s Project 2025 disavowal was a lie, they’re keeping their real plans secret, they want to only let in Christian immigrants, etc..
The Dreamscape Project: Mapping the phenomenological and neurophysiological features of subjective experience during sleep osf.io/preprints/psya… This is our accepted proposal for ARCDP2024. Looking for a PhD candidate who are interested in Aim 1 and 3! @thandrillon
New lab alert!! 🚨 Emily heads off to start the Aery Jones lab! She’s a fantastic, creative and thoughtful scientist who is also an awesome mentor! If you have the opportunity to join her lab - don’t hesitate! I can’t recommend it enough!
I am thrilled to announce that the Aery Jones lab will be starting in January 2026 @UMBaltimore! I've accepted a position in the Department of Neurobiology and Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery.
Fellow academics, please consider signing. I did. sites.google.com/view/we-must-l…
A part of the Qualia Structure events in 2024. Especially those who misunderstands IIT is all about the scalar number "phi". It is a structural approach to consciousness. RT pls @ShigeruTaguchi @moriguchiy @gudetam57607494 @QtmCogNeuro @oizumim @takato1414 @tanichu @non_svch
Tononi: Consciousness as structure: a perspective from IIT 4.0 youtu.be/Rdn5lN1dz8w?si… Giulio's talk at preASSC satellite 2024. Great intro for IIT per se. Also useful for those who are considering to apply for Qstr-IIT summer school! RT please!
hello world. we have an opening for a strong theory postdoc to work in my lab on a exciting collaboration with Josh Berke and Loren Frank labs modeling and analyzing data on rat hipp-pfc-bg-da involvement in spatial maze foraging, replay, value etc. here: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵
Make no mistake — these essential, lifesaving activities are being halted right now. Consequences aren’t in some distant future. They are immediate.
OMB memo tonight “Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs”
Trump on H1B: HB1, I know the program very well. I use the program, maître d's, wine experts, even waiters, high quality waiters. You got to get the best people.
How does the brain solve the problem of consolidating new information without interference with prior knowledge? In our recent paper we propose that sleep microstructure and hippocampal replay may offer a solution. Check this thread from first author and super start @hongyu_chang
SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES 👁️: Excited to share our new paper (which is out now!!) with Wenbo Tang, @annabellaWulf, @ThokozileNyasu, @Madisonewolf, @antferrui @azayhara : we discovered a novel sleep microstructure that promotes memory replay! nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵 1/12👇
Year over year ROI from government investment in research is 30-100 percent. Far more than the stock market and most of the private sector. americanprogress.org/article/the-hi… economicstrategygroup.org/publication/se…
The ROI for most government expenditures is very low.
influence of muscle noise on spectrum & 1/f-exponent estimation, example from EEG. generally: the more muscle noise, the flatter the spectrum at higher frequencies.
🚨New Research🚨 Two new studies published in @Nature from our Kamran Diba PhD (@sharpwaveripple) look at what's going on inside the brain during sleep — or sleep deprivation — to help or harm the formation of memories. michmed.org/JYzzY
🤯 Key brain signal linked to memory formation deteriorates after sleep deprivation, finds a study in rats. Even a night of normal slumber after a poor night’s sleep isn’t enough to fix the brain signal. For @Nature, w/ @SharpWaveRipple @TedAbelneuro nature.com/articles/d4158…
New preprint, on 'sequence filtering'. Led by @CianaDeveau, Z Zhou. We see this as a key step forw on how cortex works. All cortical areas have dense exc-exc recurrent connectivity. What do these connections do, esp in sensory ctx? Our data say: they do dynamics/time. 1/4
Some dreams may, in fact, predict the future! Fascinating new research from @ckemere at @RiceNeuro and @SharpWaveRipple at @UMich has found that during sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also anticipate upcoming experiences: news.rice.edu/news/2024/brai…
Nice writeup on our recent paper. As usual, @ckemere has the best words. eurekalert.org/news-releases/…
