Wonderful article that captures what motivates me to investigate visual perception. “How do we know what’s real? And once we know the extent of our brain’s limits, how do we live with more humility — and think with greater care about our perceptions?” https://t.co/iVdE05kepg

We investigated the computational mechanisms underlying temporal attention, the allocation of attention to a moment in time. With an equivalent noise paradigm and normalization framework, we found that temporal attention selectively enhances target features!

Excited to share my first publication ever, with @Josh_J_Foster and Dr. Sam Ling! :)

Honored to be selected as an NSP Associate @SfNtweets and excited to grow as a neuroscientist in the incredible #NeuroScholar community! ☺️

the “synaesthetic fallacy”: the technological promise that all data is translatable into other data, and that these processes can be impartial and organic https://t.co/Sf3Dywyw4Z

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.

We created a repository of graduate student mentors in neuroscience (and soon mentors in a range of life sciences) for URM undergrads at BU, URMs applying to GPN, and neuro undergrads! In collab w @microbiomarisol, @luuisdr, and @BU_NGSO https://t.co/33jy3AFWaE

We don’t really have anything else but process. Everything else is a relation to some exterior— audience, market, the world, whoever. Process is the steady and solid ground of creation.

Myths are constraining too many parents from talking to their children about racism, and from actively raising their kids to be antiracist. I had to unlearn some of these myths too as a new parent, before writing #AntiracistBaby. Here are some of the myths.

Historical literacy and STEM are and should be inseparable, especially in DEI convos aiming for justice. “20 odd years of very weak affirmative action policies have nothing to compare to hundreds of years of true affirmative action, true racial preference.“ – @ruha9

[luis d. ramirez @luuisdr]

Thank you @ruha9 for plugging Science & Tech Studies (STS) during “Experiences of Black STEM in the Ivory”🙏🏽! My STS background fuels my imposter syndrome as a neuro PhD student, but your words help me dispel those feelings.
