With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.
My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
🚨 Help my lab at @skeriresearch.bsky.social advance innovative research on the technology, perception, and neuroscience of accessibility! The Teng Lab has launched a pair of campaigns through @experiment.com.

Person presents her scientific poster on a kalman filter model of human echolocation to a group of three people in a large room filled with other presenters during a poster session. The image is from a top-down angled view.
A gif of a person presenting her scientific poster on a kalman filter model of human echolocation to a few people. The gif contains two altering images of the person with different funny facial expressions as they explain their poster. The images are from behind the listeners, with the backs of their heads, with a direct view of the speaker.
Thank you #imrf2025 for providing the space to share ideas and to all the people who were interested in our Kalman Filter-based echolocators and provided valuable comments. The poster session was a blast!
And thanks @echodislocation.bsky.social for capturing only the best facial expressions!

Sure, you can download this version here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
And yes, there have been studies showing that even sighted humans can be trained to echolocate!
Yep!
Thanks for stopping by and supporting my first poster talk within a new subfield at the really early poster session on the last day of #CNS2025
Come chat comp.models of perception and echolocation with me at poster F77 tomorrow morning at #CNS2025 !
Was really looking forward to finally attending after so many years of not being able to due to visa and political issues, and now that I'm inside so many people worth seeing in person are not coming due to a different set of political issues 🙃
B.t.w. I get that the society is being put in an exceptionally bad situation. I don't envy them at all. And I am sure they did not want to change this, but felt like their hand was forced. That said -- we should resist. Is there any other choice?
Hey @vssmtg.bsky.social, do you no longer support diversity and inclusion? Looks like your policies were quietly removed from your website? #VSS2025 #VSS
There are times when things work. I'll take that!
Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

I've written a free and accessible guide to Cephalopod Sentience with Alex Schnell, Piero Amodio and Peter Morse, stunningly illustrated by Roksolana Tkach. Please download and share! It's worth it for the illustrations alone! 🐙 thebrooksinstitute.org/sites/defaul...

2 opportunities to apply to work in my lab @INCC in Paris:
Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately.
There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event.

If you would like to see how much economic activity and grants and how many people are employed through NIH in your state, just use this handy website.
And then contact your Congressional Rep and tell them to prioritize NIH. www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
Been caught up in life, but glad to finally announce that I've started my postdoc journey into EEG & perception in the absence of vision with @echodislocation.bsky.social at @skeriresearch.bsky.social. Here's to lots of new exciting things to learn & understand, that'd hopefully help those in need!
Hit me up at #ecvp2024 if you haven't already!
