Excited for @ncmsociety.bsky.social in ~3 weeks, in Kobe Japan! Here is a preview of my labs' posters this year:
#NCMKobe
For those attending @ncmsociety.bsky.social this week, come check out posters and talks from the Physical Intelligence Lab! #NCM #MotorLearning #CognitiveNeuroscience
Excited to be at #SANS2026! Looking forward to talking about information seeking about threat and reuniting with lovely colleagues. Come say hi!
If anyone is looking for a lab manager or RA (full or part-time), let me know. One of the most meticulous and detailed people that I know is looking for a position. They did a M.A. in psych with me here at Cornell.
Congratulations Sydney!! 🎉🎉 U-Minnesota is lucky to have you.
How children remember time changes dramatically as they grow up & understanding that shift matters more than you might think.
Two new papers from the lab's newest PhD, Dr. Owen Friend, explore what that difference looks like & what it tells us about the developing brain 🧠
We’re hiring!
Interested in conducting research on cognitive control, multitasking and aging with @gethinhughes.bsky.social, @sarahdepue.bsky.social and me?
We are looking for a PhD candidate to join our lab @cogtex.bsky.social at KU Leuven.
RTs much appreciated!

We’ve got an exciting new thing to share! We have causal evidence (using TMR) that memory reactivation during sleep promotes abstract understanding of underlying structure, allowing transfer learning in a new domain with zero superficial feature overlap with the learned one.
New paper: Jamil Zaki and I integrate theories of empathy + emotion regulation to describe how therapists have to regulate a "therapeutic emotional circuit" in each session. Lots of applications and avenues for new research. Just published in CPS! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Really excited about our new work on aphasia! Even in fairly profound aphasia, we can recover semantic maps through visual stimuli and use them to decode language. This is a big step! Language BCIs in aphasia might be possible!
My amazing @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social colleague--Gio Ramos @gramos.bsky.social--has been selected for two highly competitive, NIH-funded training opportunities. The mHealth Training Institute (mHTI) and the Research in Implementation Science for Engagement (RISE)!
Congratulations, Gio!
New paper lead by my fab grad student Quynh Nguyen (who is on the postdoc job market btw) 🧵link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11031-0...
Very excited to share our newest preprint, from @angelashen.bsky.social & me!
In this project, we want to ask how multiple sources of uncertainty--internal & external--combine to influence the quantitative relationship between visual performance and metacognition.

At #ADAA2026? Friday 8:30a (Sup B) see exciting new results presented by @dalezhou.bsky.social, with @talliezee.bsky.social, Laura Glynn, Elysia Davis, Daniel Stout, Victoria Risbrough & @mikeyassa.bsky.social: "Early-Life Unpredictability and the Neural and Computational Timescales of Integration"
The Cognitive Tools Lab at Stanford (cogtoolslab.github.io) is recruiting two new research staff members to join in AY 26-27.

Please share widely in your networks, thank you!!
Academic friends,
It's beyond heartbreaking to watch what's unfolding in Iran & the region.
A few of us drafted an open letter calling for protection of civilians & of educational, research, medical & cultural institutions.
Please read & sign if you agree:

I'm SO pleased to announce that I'll be starting as an Asst Prof at @psychiowa.bsky.social this August.
The lab will focus on neural & computational mechanisms of motivation, affect, & decision-making, with the aspirational goal of translation to neuropsychiatric disorders. 🧠

Come check out the lab's work at CDS!
Want a dataset to test ideas on neural basis of decision making or how areas interact as we make choices? Check out our data published today @rudebecklab.bsky.social. >16,000 single neurons from 22 anatomically confirmed areas in macaques performing a decision task. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I wrote this article to explain in plain English what is happening with the proposed 2027 NSF budget & why so many social psychologists are alarmed.
THE GOOD NEWS: Congress has not finalized this yet. We have time to change Republican politicians’ minds.

The Causality in Cognition Lab -- a supportive, bluesky-colored team -- is looking for a predoc to join us! Here are infos about the lab (cicl.stanford.edu) and the position (careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/iriss-p...). The application deadline is May 1st.
Please share, thank you 🙏
A new Teaching Current Directions highlights a paper from @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social and @reutshachnai.bsky.social and offers an opportunity to teach students about cutting‑edge research on #parenting. #Psychology #Teaching
Full-time research coordinator position at UC Berkeley.
Ideal for folk aiming 4 graduate study in clinical/health psychology who enjoys managing data and using R.

I’m a little late on this announcement, but ...
🚨NEW PUBLICATION ALERT!🚨
Our work looking at the (in)stability of the evidence accumulation process over the course of a single decision is finally out at PLoS Comp Bio.
See thread below for the summary.
journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
How do people search for information to make efficient decisions?
Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory.
Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
new preprint! 🐍
In a dynamic Snake game inspired task, we show participants flexibly replan their behaviors after distraction, but this ability is constrained by memory load and distraction strength.
EEG results coming soon👀

New lab paper! We built a new computational model that explains several disparate observations about the conditions that promote (or hinder) associative learning. Main finding is that different kinds of experience (blocked, interleaved) have opposing effect at high vs low memory capacity. 🧵 below!
🚨NEW PREPRINT (w/ Fleming Peck & Hongjing Lu)
"Spontaneous emergence of context-dependent statistical learning in humans and neural networks"
We are constantly predicting what will happen next. Yet the same cue can lead to different predictions depending on context.
How might this work...? 🧵1/8
