Please repost: Applications for the CSHA Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School are open! Join us this summer in Suzhou for a fantastic and unique experience. Deadline April 1st: ccnss.net
Thrilled to share that our work on neural circuits and economic decision-making is now published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social . Huge thanks to @camillopadoasch.bsky.social and @xjwanglab for this journey.

Nicole Rust’s Elusive Cures shows a rare combined gift of scholarship and unique prose expected from a professional writer. Your brain is better thought of as a complex dynamical system rather than computer, a shift of perspective for mental health care. Empathy pervades the book, A gem of a book.
Thank you! Model codes are available via GitHub
A landmark Computational Neuroscience book for our times, from basic principles to whole-cortex modelling of cognition, NeuroAI and Computational Psychiatry. This is one of Xiao-Jing's major achievements. Years of dedicated work from a master of the field.
Thank you, Sean and all the former lab members!
Incredibly important and groundbreaking
Theory and computational modeling of the emotional brain face the problem that, unlike perception for which inputs can be measured and varied experimentally in psychophysics, feelings are essentially internal body states (e.g., tranquil or agitated, pleasant or unpleasant), which are difficult to quantify and parametrically manipulate. Theorizing is futile without quantification of observed phenomena and testing predictions in controlled conditions.
I'm excited to debut my new research program (on the neurosci. of mood) at #Cosyne2025: Fr, poster 2-065 (it'll be yours truly at the poster).
There, I'll describe a new approach to the big challenge of emotion that XJ Wang describes in his new book, Theoretical Neuroscience.
As a preview .. /1
Thank you, Nicole!
Thank you, Tim!
As our community increasingly shifts toward embracing the complexity of the brain, this new book by Xiao-Jing Wang will be an essential go-to.
He is among a small, prescient group that embraced important ideas before the rest of us. Here he unpacks them. 1/2

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)
