It’s finally out!! A big shoutout to Asaf Madar ! Tldr: Neural synchrony during rest predicts inconsistency in choice in a later task

We have two open postdoc positions in the lab! Check out the links below for details. Postdoc in neuroscience of reward learning: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Postdoc in physiology of learning and decision making: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Please retweet!

📢POSTDOC OPPORTUNITY📢 Come join me Gordon Pennycook & Tom Costello as we launch a research program using dialogues with LLMs as a tool to study human psychology and decision-making! Located at MIT or Cornell, and open applicants from all kinds of intellectual backgrounds/training

My lab Georgetown University is seeking 1-2 post-doctoral scholars. Our lab offers a unique opportunity to work with both people with psychopathy and people who have engaged in extraordinary acts of altruism (and to conduct behavioral, MRI, and intervention research). Please r/t and share.

Lab's first paper on procrastination, by Pei Yuan Zhang. Sixteen years after I told Read Montague in my job interview that I wanted to study the topic (and he didn't laugh at me). nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to announce that Nature Neuroscience Nature Neuroscience has published my article "A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex" (based on active predictive coding). #Neuroscience #AI #brain PDF: homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/Rao-Natur… Article page: nature.com/articles/s4159…

New paper: In a juice-choice task, we thought that gustatory cortex (GC) might provide the main input to compute offer values. It doesn't. Variables encoded in GC are all post-decision. Neuronal Activity in Gustatory Cortex during Economic Choice jneurosci.org/content/early/…

The macaque brain can link action to value in a choice task through neural population subspaces, balancing reliable binding of action to value and generalization to novel stimuli Jeff Johnston Justin Fine @NeuroPolarbear nature.com/articles/s4159…

It’s time to work WITH memory! New work from our lab is out: Extra temporary subspace is necessary for information exchange or asynchronous programming. Mental programming of spatial sequences in working memory in the macaque frontal cortex | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It’s Chicago again. Friends, let’s catch up! Presenting my work on Sunday morning eppro02.ativ.me/appinfo.php?pa… #SFN24

Highly recommend the Neuroeconomics Summer School - which is at INSEAD next year - for all PhD students and postdocs in neuroeconomics and decision neuroscience. All details here: insead.edu/events/neuroec… #neuroeconomics

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.
