Phillip Witkowski

PhD student at UC Davis, studying the neural mechanisms of attention and uncertainty

[Phillip Witkowski @phillipwitkow]

I'm excited to announce (a tad late) that the final project of my dissertation is out in @SfNJournals
#JNeurosci! Check out my work with @JoyJGeng on the neural representations of target identity and feature uncertainty here: https://t.co/N9eHSrAVUG

[Laurence Hunt @LHuntNeuro]

Our preprint on EEG correlates of decision making in continuous environments is up! Joint work with @Ru_Maria_, @lilwebian, @TomRhysMarshall, and Jill O’Reilly. Find out more about these lovely data at #ccneuro22 later this week… https://t.co/eS1iRGDVlu

[Nicholas Gaspelin @nickgaspelin]

New article! We show that abrupt onsets are not suppressed by the visual system like color singletons. Big implications for models of attention and how we design visual warning signals in applied settings.

Finally, thanks to @ucdavispsych@UCDavisPsych @ucdavispsych and @UCD_CMB for providing and amazing lab environment! Also, thanks to @NSF for funding this project! 8/8

[Phillip Witkowski @phillipwitkow]

I’m proud to announce that my work with @SeongminAPark and @ErieBoorman has been released in @NeuroCellPress today! Here, we asses the neural mechanisms underlying how humans infer unobserved choice-outcome associations via structured knowledge. Link:https://t.co/33qFRO9dw6. 1/8

[Phillip Witkowski @phillipwitkow]

Collectively, these findings demonstrate the importance of generalizable representations in prefrontal cortex for supporting flexible learning and inference in structured environments. 7/8

Congrats to our new grad Dr. Yu @JoyJGeng @UCDavisPsych @UCD_CMB

[Joey Charbonneau @charbonneaujoey]

I would be remiss if I did not share the original Figure 1A I crafted (left) that got us through the review process before @eblissmoreau (for obvious reasons) suggested we get it professionally illustrated (by the very talented Matthew Verdolivo @UCDavisTechNews; right)

[MJ Heise @HeiseMj]

My first first-author paper is now published: https://t.co/JX4jCz8w1Z Mixed effects models include infants and children who only complete a few ERP trials in an experiment and would otherwise be casewise deleted in ANOVA, resulting in unbiased mean amp estimates! @ucdavisbasclab

[JoyJGeng @joyjgeng.bsky.social @JoyJGeng]

Two chapters of Dr. Xinger Yu's newly minted dissertation are out this week. Both on the flexibility of target templates. So proud of her work. @UCD_CMB https://t.co/URmERrPqCY

Check out my latest post of Cassandra's Prophecy Revisited, where I discuss the human toll of extreme consumerism!

If task structure representation in the hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex sounds interesting to you, take a look at our new paper 👀🧠

Huge congrats to Eda and our awesome team! So thankful to have worked on this project and very excited to see it out! 👏

[Shea Duarte @SheaDuarte]

New preprint with @JoyJGeng and @sghetti1 ! We found that hearing a semantically congruent (but task-irrelevant) sound at encoding leads to better recollection-based recognition memory for the visual object later on, but no such effect on familiarity. https://t.co/xkuVNObgww

hello + happy #BlackinNeuroWeek!

I’m Alexia, nice to meet ya! I’m a PhD candidate @UCDavisPsych using molecular + genomic techniques to study how stressful experiences translate into maladaptive behaviors. I also love video games, baking, and my pup Lola 😊

A late #BlackInNeuroRollCall tweet, but I'm a postdoctoral scholar at @ucdavis in the dynamic memory lab @CharanRanganath studying the organization of episodic memory networks in the brain. Proud to be #BlackInNeuro https://t.co/h4FNzsaS7F
