Cognitive Science Graduate Admissions – Information about graduate admissions from the cognitive science faculty

We're excited to announce that Cognitive Science at Dartmouth is recruiting PhD students to work collaboratively with me, Steven Frankland, and Fred Callaway. Come study the principles and mechanisms that enable us to understand, plan, and act in the world! Info: sites.dartmouth.edu/cogscigrad/

Is it time to put rest to rest? A great article by @esfinn.bsky.social , which cleverly lays out some unfound assumptions in the field of and an integrated way forward: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

It should be required reading for anyone using #resting-state or task-based #fMRI!

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was β€œimpossible” to be a successful PI and a mother

Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can!

Despite everything going on, I may have funds to hire a postdoc this year πŸ˜¬πŸ€žπŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ Open to a wide variety of possible projects in social and cognitive neuroscience. Get in touch if you are interested! Reposts appreciated.

Alternative title: "LLMs don't have ears (or eyes)"

What do humans and machines miss out on when processing language as purely written text, without all the embodied audiovisual richness that scaffolds language in daily human contexts?

Very proud of this elegant work from @tommybotch.bsky.social

Two posters from our lab at #CNS2025 this morning! First, Kay Liang @kay-qiliang.bsky.social shows differences in how we perceive social interactions when we’re actually involved in them (first person) versus passively watching them (third person) at poster D99

Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can!

For the Dartmouth PBS graduate student visiting day this year, we introduced a new format based on the "Hot Ones" talk show: faculty and current graduate students ate nuggets with a series of increasing spicy hot sauces as they answered questions from prospective grad students! 🌢️πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅
