🎉 Excited to share final chapter of Astigmatism Trilogy with @JoonyeolL (+@baaskins, @ShimMok, @HyungGoo_Kim)!
Q: Astigmatism is common—why don't we notice? 🤔
A: The early visual system hard‑wires an orientation compensation mechanism🧠.

Foraging in a naturalistic Minecraft world 🍎⛏🧱! Jaeyoung will be presenting his work on adaptive planning and policy mixture in a virtual reality environment. Don't miss his poster presentation on August 13 at 1 PM at B22! #CCN2025

[PECON Lab @wmshimlab]

Got a good social 'radar' for who likes who? Dasom is giving a talk on August 14 at 11 AM on how the brain recognizes dynamic social interactions and forms representations of multidimensional social relationships. Be sure to also catch his poster on August 15 at 2 PM! #ccn2025

Wonder what's going on our PI's head? Hun is going to present his work on the leadership style and its underlying neurocomputation in an authoritative context! See his poster at A80. Guess which type of leader your PI is! #CCN2025

[PECON Lab @wmshimlab]

Today at #CCN2025, check out Sanghyun's poster presentation at A94. He'll be discussing his research on adaptive goal-switching, utilizing a Bayesian model and eye-tracking to reconstruct the planning process.

New preprint out! 🚀
Our latest work on Motion-Corrected Eye Tracking (MoCET) is now available on bioRxiv! We introduce a method to improve gaze accuracy in fMRI experiments using head motion correction.

Check it out here: https://t.co/6wrI95ZBIy

🧠📷 New paper out! How does the brain make sense of a story? Combining behavioral data, #fMRI, and #LLMs, our study explores how distinct hippocampal-cortical systems support the #encoding and #sequencing of #narrative events during ongoing comprehension.

Special shoutout to our proud seniors, Jiwoong and Dasom, for being awarded for their groundbreaking Minecraft⛏️ studies—congrats, senpais! 🎊👏

[PECON Lab @wmshimlab]

All the PhD students presented their posters at the CNIR workshop. We’ve always taken this event seriously, knowing these posters will hang on the wall for the next year. A special thanks to our lab angel, Royoung, for capturing photos of everyone!

Jisu is presenting her poster on social prediction! Discover how our brains predict relationships and affective states of others while observing naturalistic social interactions in movies. 💑📷#OHBM2024

[PECON Lab @wmshimlab]

You can find Jisu and @chloejchoi tomorrow at the registration table and Monday night social event! @OHBM_Trainees @OHBM #OHBM2024

[OHBM Trainees @OHBM_Trainees]

We want to give thanks to CNIR @CNIR_IBS for sponsoring us for #OHBM2024 🇰🇷🙏

We also want to say thanks to and highlight students of CNIR who are volunteering their help to us over the conference! 👏 1/4

Royoung nailed her presentation on reward-related visual processing! 👏🥳

Jiwoong successfully completed his presentation on motion-corrected eye tracking! So proud! #VSS2024 #NatPAC #EyeTracking

[PECON Lab @wmshimlab]

Safe trip home! 🙋‍♀️

[cvnlab @cvnlab]

We wrote a perspective piece on the emergence of hardcore (i.e. intense) big datasets in neuroscience and how it effects the way we do science with @elimerriam, @Tknapen and @eline_kupers! Let us know what you think!

Exciting news🥳! You can now accurately pinpoint where participants are looking during a free-viewing fMRI experiment, even with the narrow FOV of a 7T scanner!👀✨

Check out MoCET (Motion-Corrected EyeTracking) to tackle head-motion issues in camera-based eye-tracking.

Excited to share Royoung's poster on reward-related visual processing during goal-directed action. 👀💫💪

Using our NatPAC data, her analysis involved a sheep-herding task 🐑 in a Minecraft 3D environment🏞.
