#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀
Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to?

Try out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)!

A few options below!🧵👇 1/9

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript 🔥 🐭🔬📰

🚨 Johns Hopkins psych & brain sci is hiring! 🚨

TWO open-rank faculty positions: one in cognition, broadly construed, the other in cognitive neuroscience

We're excited about lots of research areas & approaches, including development & animal cognition!

We append to the body of work formalizing 'momentum' as an integrative signal that facilitates persistence in mental states. Special nods to 'Psychological momentum' by @chrishoney, @amahabal @buddhikabellana, and 'Mood as momentum' by @eraneldar, @RobbRutledge, @yael_niv

new pre-print:

"Reverse engineering the self"

(by L.A. Paul, me, Julian De Freitas @JulianDeFreitas, and Josh Tenenbaum)

In which we combine philosophy, cog-sci & CS to propose a framework for reverse-engineering an agent that can “think for itself”

1/n Excited to share our work on Understanding Social Reasoning in LMs w/ LMs! We present a new framework for procedurally generating evals for LMs by populating abstract causal templates! We generate a scalable theory of mind eval, BigToM, w/ 25 conditions & 5k LM written evals!

[Christopher Honey @chrishoney]

@anne_churchland @AnnaSchapiro @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla Best wishes, Anne! Thank you for reminding us to get screened.

[Kishore Kuchibhotla @kishoreneuro]

Excited to share this new work from the lab! Our first foray into human learning experiments. Read @aaronwang_23 tweeprint to learn more about how humans learn without instructions in a simple task (it may surprise you!) Just a few words about the team that made this happen (1/5)
