Day 1 of commuting by rail. Nationalize Amtrak 😭

I am recruiting graduate students for my lab McGill University for admission in Fall 2025! Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

If you've used International Brain Laboratory data or tools in some way, could you spare 1 minute to tell us how? short survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Thanks in advance! 🙏

Please consider signing this letter urging the international community to demand that Israel respect international humanitarian law and end the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, and that all hostages and unduly imprisoned civilians are released: tinyurl.com/PsychLetter

Friends, this is urgent. Families in Gaza are starving and need our help. I have donated to and been following this soup kitchen since they started. They provide hot meals to thousands & they need funds to keep going. Please consider donating & sharing. gofund.me/aab9459d

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with Andrew Pruszynski – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

Thinking about grad school but don’t have research experience yet? This is for you! Join PNI’s Summer Internship Program for a paid, nine-week neuroscience journey of discovery and mentorship at Princeton. Apply before Feb 3! Learn more: buff.ly/4gG78wC

Is our brain infinitely flexible or constrained? Oby & colleagues cleverly uses BCIs to test what cortical activity can/can't be generated quickly. Highly recommend! nature.com/articles/s4159… And you can get a tl;dr + my takes on why this is exciting here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

A surprising variability in how rats process sounds, evaluate evidence, and make choices underscores the complexity of the brain’s decision-making process, finds a new study in nature from PNI researchers Marino Pagan, Brody Lab, and Jonathan Pillow. 📰: pni.princeton.edu/news/2025/new-…

Not sure it’s making it through the noise over here (at least not on my feed), but seems like all NIH review panels are getting canceled?

1/N The “class ceiling” in elite US jobs is real. Sam Friedman & Daniel Laurison find that even when people from working-class backgrounds reach top professions, they still earn about $20,000 less per year than privileged-origin colleagues... 🧵

Honored to be named a Sloan Research Fellow. I am grateful for the support from my family, mentors, collaborators, mentees, and friends over the years, and for the Sloan Foundation for supporting our research. #SloanFellow x.com/SloanFoundatio…

Standing up for science in D.C.

No matter what your views are on Israel & Palestine, you should be terrified of a country incarcerating its residents for exercising free speech. Mr. Khalil is not accused of violating any law. He is illegally detained by the Trump Administration. He must be released.

Rally for the release of Mahmoud Khalil on Monday in Philly

As our community 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 taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.…

Out today in PNAS! We asked how Bayesian inference is implemented in macaque prefrontal cortex pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Preprint alert 🚨! Excited to share our new work on metacognition in value-based decision-making. We ask whether it is possible to derive a computational measure of metacognitive ability for economic preference choices. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
