And forget ‘lifetime achievement awards’. I’m gunning for ‘contributions beyond the grave’.

If it’s a boy you can call him ‘Grant’

If they keep extending the eligibility window, perhaps we’ll live forever.

Thanks Jakub 😂

Thanks Lorijn! You and me both 😅

Excited to be in Vancouver and to be part of the CNS Rising Stars session this afternoon. I’ll be talking about “Stubborn and Flexible Predictions in Perception and Belief Updating” #CNS2026 🧠

Check out Benjy’s new paper, the first from his postdoc in the lab! 👁️ 🧠

Do our social interactions influence what we become aware of?

In our❗new preprint❗@danieljamesyon.bsky.social and I delve into this question: asking whether joint decision making in a detection task can bias awareness reports.

A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social:
