We certainly know there are many wealthy rappers worldwide. We absolutely don’t know how many will step up to support a fellow rapper facing the death penalty, for championing his people's protests.

Vezha Boboeva, Alberto Pezzotta, ClopathLab, and Athena Akrami describe how neural circuits can give rise to both recency and central tendency biases at the same time through a single mechanism.

Amen. When I interviewed at Bell Labs at the end of graduate school, I was asked to prepare a 45 min talk that took me 90 min to deliver -- thanks to all the interrupting questions and debate that ensued. It was fantastic! It meant that they cared, and they pushed me in…

Erlich Lab and my lab are jointly recruiting 2 fully-funded postdocs (theorists and experimentalists) to work on multi-agent economic decision-making, towards understanding cognition in psychiatric conditions. Come work with us at the amazing SWC!

The moment is here: our latest study is out in nature!

To catch you up: 20 years of investigating DBS for treatment-resistant & we found a 🎯 (SCC), refined precision, gauged long-term efficacy & spotted early signs of recovery.

Now, we have exciting news...

Grateful that this major postdoc project is finally out on bioRxiv! Check it out. Through large-scale neural recordings and complex behavior, we show how the brain compositionally combine shared subspaces to build multiple tasks.

New results!

Despite their varied molecular actions, anesthetics alter brain wave alignment in the same way.

Convergent effects of different anesthetics are due to changes in phase alignment of cortical oscillations
