Why do some insights from spikes translate to field potentials while others don't? In this paper we compare visual memory representations in spikes and LFPs to propose a general framework that answers this question.

fMRI signals βup,β but neural metabolism might be going βdown.β
In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes.

In this preprint, we concurrently fit the HRF alongside pRF parameters doi.org/10.1101/2025...
- HRF varies between visual areas
- HRF also varies with pRF stimulus designs (due to nonlinearities?)
- Esp. when fitting complex models this can skew results a lot!

Screenshot of an article published in the journal Motivation Science titled "Rediscovering our purpose: Theory, evidence, and the soul of motivation science."
"...we advocate for a broader intellectual architecture, where methodological sophistication supports theoretical ambition."
I enjoyed and appreciated this article on theory development in motivation science. Such reflection is welcome.
