Functional brain networks predicting sustained attention are not specific to perceptual modality biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Excited for #OHBM2024 in Seoul!🇰🇷 I'll be presenting "Neural mechanisms of insight during narrative comprehension" on Poster #1084🧠💡 My poster is filled with discussion points, so please drop by to share your wisdom!

plugging in my friends’ awesom-er posters! Tommy Botch's dark matter of the🧠(#0948), Ziwei Zhang's surprising surprise (#0952), Jin Ke's ongoing thoughts at rest (#0957), @jadynspark's arousal & memory (#1705), and @AnnaCorriveau's visual & auditory sustained attention (#2451)

Super excited to attend OHBM for the first time! At #OHBM2024, I will present my work with Monica Rosenberg on “The neural signatures of ongoing thoughts during rest” (poster #957, summary below). Looking forward to connecting with old and new friends!

Surprise is a common human experience. Can we identify a neural signature that predicts surprise across people and contexts? Hope to see you at my poster “Brain network dynamics predict moments of surprise across contexts” (#952) at #OHBM2024 today and Tuesday!

Officially a tenured associate professor today! Grateful to students, colleagues, collaborators, mentors, reviewers, letter writers, challengers, family, friends, & role models across the globe who navigated this wild ride with me. I’m extraordinarily lucky to be here.

Our new preprint on attentional lapses is out, with A. Bonnefond, Ed Vogel and Monica Rosenberg! We showed that objective (out-of-the-zone) and subjective (mind-wandering) measures capture distinct fluctuations of sustained attention. ⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy science fact of the day: It's a year since the first Imaging Neuroscience paper was published, with 280 papers since then. Hence in just the first year, over half a million dollars has stayed within academia, rather than going to Elsevier [shareholders etc].

Reminder that Imaging Neuroscience is accepting submissions to TWO special issues through early 2025: Imaging Genetics (direct.mit.edu/imag/pages/cal…) & Optical & Acoustic Neuroimaging (direct.mit.edu/imag/pages/spe…). Consider submitting & sharing!

Wonder how mind-wandering predicts functional brain organization and behavior? At #SfN24, I’ll present work w Monica Rosenberg where we studied resting-state thoughts with in-the-moment probes and fMRI. Come find me at poster A94 (LBA008.008) on Tuesday Oct 8 from 11a to noon!

also advertising for my friends :D Hayoung Song's aha moments in narratives (NANO56.13), @jadynspark's arousal-enhanced memory (NANO56.11), @AnnaCorriveau's audio-visual attention (NANO22.04), Ziwei Zhang's surprise model (PSTR093.07), Mina Kwon's alcohol craving (NANO28.06)

AHA! What's happening in the brain at moments of insight?🧠💡How do we comprehend ongoing causal structures based on memory? #sfn2024 Come find out in our talk on Wed 11am, NANO56.13! session Human LTM: Encoding and Retrieval🙌 CHI❤️

Interested in longitudinal similarity and reliability of the resting state connectome in youth? I'll be presenting at my first SfN #sfn2024 on Wednesday from 8-12, Board S6. Stop by and ask me questions! #BlackInNeuro

Excited to share our review paper with Hayoung Song and Monica Rosenberg, now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences🚨! We propose that each brain spatial scale may uniquely contribute to cognitive functions. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…

Our brain operates at various spatial scales, from local to global. Do they govern different functions? A broad review on multiscale brain & cognition, out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences spanning Cog/Sys/Comp Neuro work in 🐭🐵🧑! Team JeongJun Park Monica Rosenberg authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…

In this Article, Ziwei Zhang and Monica Rosenberg build a model that predicts surprise from brain network dynamics revealing similarities across distinct contexts (task learning, basketball watching, and cartoon viewing).

This work is now out! Check out our paper on generalizable brain network model of surprise. Grateful for Monica Rosenberg for being the most supportive mentor!
