CDS’ Grace Lindsay Launches YouTube Channel on “AI for the Planet” Grace Lindsay’s new YouTube series turns climate-AI research into five-minute videos for a wide audience.

CDS Asst. Prof. @neurograce.bsky.social has launched a YouTube channel, “5 Minute Papers on AI for the Planet,” translating climate-AI research into short video explainers, inspired by her course at CDS, “Machine Learning for Climate Change.”

The unfathomable richness of seeing Many hold that visual experience is sparse and its richness illusory, relying on high-level summaries rather than detailed content. However, we argue here that seeing is more than this – it is unfatho...

A big win for @neuromatch.bsky.social and for our students, TAs, and mentors! So proud of the hard work that went into making this happen and grateful to the NIH for their support!

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time!

New work led by Jackie Fulvio that adds to growing evidence that dynamics in parietooccipital low-beta oscillations play an important role in the encoding of priority in visual working memory. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

yes, although today I have been moving around my environment with my eyes open for at least a good 6 hrs. or more 😆

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

[Aly Lab Logo: schematic of brain in shades of blue with two cut-out seahorses facing each other]. Postdoctoral Position in the Aly Lab at UC Berkeley. We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to work on NSF-funded research examining competition and cooperation in memory-guided attention. The position will be supervised by Dr. Mariam Aly (https://www.alylab.org/) in the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley. Candidates should have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field, and expertise in studies of behavior as well as neuroimaging and/or eye tracking. This is a two-year position with a flexible start date. More details here: https://tinyurl.com/alylabpostdoc

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯

I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼

So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

This special issue "invites submissions on research areas recently de-prioritized and/or de-funded that address or discuss how social cognition approaches can aid in the understanding of these critical societal issues."

Plz consider submitting!

not so much Tononi, right?

methinks he overstates 😅

Kafka, Memento

🧵(1/7) In late 2024, we surveyed ~6,000 MIT Press authors to understand their views on large language model (LLM) licensing and partnership practices, and to ensure our practices align with their priorities. 850+ responded. Here’s what we learned…

Near-random connections support top-down feature-based attentional modulations in early sensory cortex Author summary In everyday life, we focus on what matters—like finding our car keys on a messy desk—by sending signals from higher control brain areas to earlier sensory brain areas. These “top-down” ...

I gave a talk in 2009 about feature-based attention and a famous vision scientist asked how top down signals from PFC could possibly target the right sensory neurons. The best I could do was "uh, dunno". sunyoungp.bsky.social has a much more thoughtful answer journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
