RIP D'Angelo. 1 of 1, and they don't make 'em like this anymore.

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

I'm not on the committee, but happy to talk if you're interested.

I guess calligraphy would be a better term than penmanship but I've had a couple pops.

Oh shit - I forgot TNs QB transfered to UCLA. He gets paid one way or another but sheesh.

Cursive? Because down 23-0 at the half penmanship is about all they've got.

We are in complete agreement!

I realize I'm moving the goalposts but with the utmost respect I put zero stock in the results of animal studies. It's build-a-circuit through hypertraining.

The argument was re: the parameters of your hypothetical experiment, e.g., surgeons remove the minimal amount of brain tissue necessary ergo they must be worried about removing a "critical" brain area.

I smell a rat. Seems orcastrsted.

Post hoc ergo proptor hoc?

43 years on this earth and I still can't figure out tennis scoring.

And while you’re at #ECVP seeking out @bradpostle.bsky.social, you may as well stay for the rest of the symposium with the amazing @tbchristophel.bsky.social, Maria Servetnik, and Clay Curtis (and me).

Attending #ECVP next week? Please seek me out if you're potentially interested in a postdoc:

Out of sight, but not out of mind: How the human brain represents images that are not directly seen
Chair, Rosanne Rademaker

... not wrong?

Fair. Do give a shout next time you're passing through. I know many, cheaper, and better coffee places.

That's your fault for staying at a casino (the only place you'll pay $10 for a coffee anywhere in town). I think you'd like midtown on a Saturday afternoon though.

Human eye movements track stimulus meaning Working memory (WM) is a capacity- and duration-limited system that enables the representation and processing of fleeting sensory phenomena. Human fMRI studies indicate that brain areas associated wit...

New paper day! Whereas earlier studies have shown that human eye movement patterns are influenced by the physical properties of remembered stimuli, we show that they are also influenced by stimulus meaning. h/t to Ali Pexsa (not on bluesky) who led this work.
