Lindsay Lab - Postdoc Position Artificial neural networks applied to psychology, neuroscience, and climate change

Spread the word: I'm looking to hire a postdoc to explore the concept of attention (as studied in psych/neuro, not the transformer mechanism) in large Vision-Language Models. More details here: lindsay-lab.github.io/2025/12/08/p...

I am looking to hire a great postdoc to join our lab in sunny Eugene at the University of Oregon for fun behavioral/fMRI experiments on sensorimotor control in young and older adults. Please share/get in touch if interested! pages.uoregon.edu/mmar/

Temporal Dynamics of Sensorimotor Integration for Non-Visual Target Information During Movement Preparation and Online Control Online movement variability in non-visual (auditory and proprioceptive) target reaching is modality-dependent. This study investigated whether such modality-specific effects emerge during movement pre...

📣 BIG NEWS EVERYONE. I am so excited to announce…

🎉 I’m moving to University College London @ucl.ac.uk to join the Experimental Psychology department in @uclpals.bsky.social! 🎉

The big move happens in spring/summer. So I’m already exploring recruiting staff & students at UCL for fall 2026!

CDS’ Grace Lindsay Launches YouTube Channel on “AI for the Planet” Grace Lindsay’s new YouTube series turns climate-AI research into five-minute videos for a wide audience.

CDS Asst. Prof. @neurograce.bsky.social has launched a YouTube channel, “5 Minute Papers on AI for the Planet,” translating climate-AI research into short video explainers, inspired by her course at CDS, “Machine Learning for Climate Change.”

This year, I spent March–June at the University of Oregon, working with @mmarneweck.bsky.social on an fMRI analysis of the representational pattern similarity of lip and hand movements after upper-limb amputation.
Excited to share this at #BACN25 ✨ Find me at the datablitz/poster sessions on Friday!

What happens to motor adaptation—the way we correct errors with feedback—when feedback is indirect, like a number on a screen?

In our new paper in @royalsociety.org‬, we found that indirect feedback hinders learning compared to sensory feedback.

Sensory modality of initiation cues modulates action goal-relevant neural representations Abstract. The ability to produce goal-directed movement relies on the integration of diverse sensory cues which contribute to goal subtasks, such as trajectory planning and initiation. To achieve thes...

A traffic light goes green. Maybe there’s also a honk. Does that change how your brain plans to move?🚦🔊
We show that neural representations of action goals vary depending on the sensory modality of the initiation cues, even when the movement stays the same.🧠
