What if much of human thought is navigation? 🧠 New open-access review: I argue that the DMN + hippocampal–entorhinal system form a domain-general engine for "mental navigation" across physical and abstract spaces (e.g. social, conceptual, and value). sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Awesome @ClaraWakonigg presenting our work at #OHBM2026 Come say hi if you're around and chat about experiential state spaces, default thought patterns, and neural dynamics! – at Bordeaux, France

The neural correlates of art! Great stuff!

What makes an artwork beautiful, and can your brain's response decode such hidden dimensions of aesthetic appeal? We built a framework to find out 🎨 🧠 First author: Dr. Xinyu Liang @betory9178 @NatureComms #COGNIZELab nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #Neuroaesthetics #DefaultMode

New from our COGNIZE Lab in Advanced Science: Beneath the Big Five, personality consistently organizes into two dimensions, each with distinct brain signatures. Amazing work by postdoc @KaixiangZhuang and thanks to all our collaborators! doi.org/10.1002/advs.2025090…

New paper in PNAS! When the mind wanders, it often drifts to the body. We call this "body-wandering". These thoughts are often negative, but are associated with reduced ADHD & depression symptoms, driven by a distinct interoceptive-allostatic brain signature. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

🧠New paper alert (the 1st one from our new lab)! Led by 1st author & VR wizard @J_A_Quent @NatureComms How do our brains distinguish novel from familiar places as we explore our environments, e.g., a new city? 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6… 🧵 Thread below with key findings ⬇️

🚨After five years, one pandemic, and hundreds of hours of lost sleep, our study on how sleep deprivation affects the neural correlates of memory suppression is finally published! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… Here's what we found 👇 (1/7)

Memory control deficits in the sleep-deprived human brain | PNAS

Sleep disturbances are associated with intrusive memories, but the neurocognitive mechanisms underpinning this relationship are poorly understood. ...

After a fantastic week at #OHBM2024 in Seoul, I had an amazing time giving guest lectures at @FudanUni's GRIPS event. Visiting @neurodenizen's lab was equally incredibly productive, discussing cutting-edge research and future collaborations. Thanks for the great experience!
