PhD Student in the FINN Lab at Dartmouth https://csavasegal.github.io/
I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @usc.edu will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

New Open dataset alert:
🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience!
N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks!

How does the human brain process the continuous world around us and transform it into distinct memories? Our latest research, recently published in Science Advances @science.org, uncovers how brain waves called high frequency oscillations (HFOs) may support this amazing feat! (1/n)

Likely hiring one postbac trainee for @fmri-today.bsky.social's Section on Functional Imaging Methods. Give the relatively later start time for the search, I'm not yet sure how quickly this search will happen. If you are interested, apply and reach out ASAP. fim.nimh.nih.gov

New preprint! Excited to share our latest work “Accelerated learning of a noninvasive human brain-computer interface via manifold geometry” ft. outstanding former undergraduate Chandra Fincke, @glajoie.bsky.social, @krishnaswamylab.bsky.social, and @wutsaiyale.bsky.social's Nick Turk-Browne 1/8

New paper with @lexkidder.bsky.social, Ed Silson, and @cibaker.bsky.social! We show that recall of people, places, and objects engages distributed cortical regions, with medial parietal & ventral temporal cortices showing distinct functional organizations. 1/2 doi.org/10.1523/ENEU...

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀
Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to?
Consider trying out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)!
Here is a 🧵 with a few options!👇 1/9
Excited to share our recent work investigating the temporal dynamics of object space! It’s been wonderful working with @tgro.bsky.social and @drquekles.bsky.social at @marcsinstitute.bsky.social on this fun project😊

Why do people process language differently from each other? In a new paper, @esfinn.bsky.social and I show that the “concreteness” of word meanings plays a central role in shaping our unique experiences of natural language.

Happy to use my first "skeet" (?) to announce that the Functional Imaging and Naturalistic Neuroscience (FINN) Lab is recruiting a PhD student this cycle! Check out our website to learn more about us and what we do: thefinnlab.github.io 🌲🧠🌲 Apps thru Dartmouth PBS: pbs.dartmouth.edu/menufeature/...
