What defines a brain state? 🧠
If you are also interested in answering this question, join us in "Toward a joint definition of neural-behavioral states", #BernsteinConference full-day workshop, Co-orgnized by @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social and I. (1/4)

This is fantastic work.

Monkeys show the same pattern of “optimistic” exploration in multi-arm bandits www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New in @pnas.org: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

We study how humans explore a 61-state environment with a stochastic region that mimics a “noisy-TV.”

Results: Participants keep exploring the stochastic part even when it’s unhelpful, and novelty-seeking best explains this behavior.

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫

I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Oops, wrong time in the original post! It will be 15:30 CET 😉

In our Learning Club @cmc-lab.bsky.social today (Sep 25, Thu, 2pm CET), @dengpan.bsky.social will tell us about his recent paper (👇) [joint work w/ Rushworth lab]. Want to attend, send an empty email to virtual-talk-link-request@cmclab.org to get the link!

Arousal as a universal embedding for spatiotemporal brain dynamics - Nature Reframing of arousal as a latent dynamical system can reconstruct multidimensional measurements of large-scale spatiotemporal brain dynamics on the timescale of seconds in mice.

Super proud of this collaboration with rockstar Ryan Raut - born out of playing in the sandbox in our last year of grad school! Multi-scale brain activity can be predicted from a simple measure of arousal like pupil diameter. Out with linear causality, in with dynamic systems to explain neurobiology
