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.

Hello Bsky world, I am excited to announce our latest preprint “Eye movements reveal the cognitive dynamics supporting successful memory suppression” in collaboration with Paula Brooks, @ptoncompmemlab.bsky.social, and @maureenritchey.bsky.social! 🎉👀 osf.io/preprints/ps...
