An essential corrective from @Nancy_Kanwisher regarding a disturbing trend as of late to throw the baby out with the bath water when it comes to thinking about functional specialization in the brain. https://twitter.com/nancy_kanwisher/status/1621654738314973184

if you have a few spare minutes, you could really help me and my students by answering some questions about your experiences with laughter - thanks so much for this! https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/6C98DDED-5F22-48C5-81FD-40343798CA6B

I'm excited to share this short report showing that 'Vividness of visual imagery predicts performance on a visual working memory task when an imagery strategy is encouraged' based on UG work by @CalSlinn, Zuzana Nikodemova, and Arielle Rosinski 🧵1/5 https://psyarxiv.com/34wsv

Super thrilled that this piece is now out in @PNASNexus! In the paper, we discuss whether a GAN-like process could explain intrusive imagery experiences in disorders such as PTSD.

Here it comes! We show how replay can guide directed exploration, by extending the normative theory of hippocampal replay to include uncertainty. https://twitter.com/biorxiv_neursci/status/1619519696922968065

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. https://go.nature.com/3we6BMS
