New review! Multi-species synthesis of single-neuron, LFP, EEG & behavior from human & macaques. We propose a model for how brains achieve the remarkable feat of monitoring our own performance. @brooksfu_neuro @LabSchall @stevenerrington @AmirsamanSajad

Love this link between mental navigation of problem spaces with spatial navigation! "We argue that the suddenness of insight can be related to the sudden emergence of place fields in the hippocampus."

How does the brain organize spontaneous behavior? Our latest (from the amazing @vulcnethologist @GillisDub @neurojaym), reveals a surprising role for dopamine as a teaching signal during free exploration, even without an explicit task or exogenous reward. go.nature.com/3we6BMS

I just finished Reading in the Brain by @StanDehaene. It's a damn good book – here's my review 1/ amazon.com/Reading-Brain-New-S

In the discussion between the value of exploration and testing some researchers like to pose the two as opposites. I've often heard people say 'but think of the lucky discovery of penicillin'. In 'Advice to a young scientist' Peter Medawar dispells this specific myth, and with it the straw man opposition of exploration and confirmation. Chance favours the prepared mind.

Another episode of @UCLBrainstories in the bag!

Coming soon - me & @smfleming discuss the Pope, sea urchins & Huntington's disease with Prof Ed Wild @UCLHD

RT @hippopedoid
Interesting paper by Jinke Liu & @martin_a_vinck in @PLOSCompBiol. Applying "distance-of-distance" transformation to the pairwise distance matrix of high-dim data separates signal from noise, making all noise points (grey) cluster together. Impressive!

Excited to share that new work with @helleryeahz, @arossotto, @BrittJaso, Noah Kraus, and Rick Reneau is now published in @ScienceAdvances:

“Individual differences in naturalistic learning link negative emotionality to the development of anxiety”
