Very excited to have posted a new preprint on my PhD work in the @brody_lab where we show that rats can achieve near-optimal time investment in a confidence-guided waiting task biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….
Our cognitive process model was useful for understanding where variability arises in the behavior and we hope it will guide the analysis of neural data collected from this task in the future.
Congrats @alexpiet!
New paper, now out in Neuron: "Behavioral strategy shapes activation of the Vip-Sst disinhibitory circuit in visual cortex"

If you are a tenured professor in the life/neuro sciences who values open exchange of ideas in academia, please sign our new petition telling HHMI and eLife not to censure Michael Eisen for tweeting about the Middle East.

When I was a child my father taught me that if you see someone being bullied at school, speak up and defend them. If you then get bullied in response, that is unfortunate, but at least you were not a coward.
Here is my letter to the eLife board in defense of Michael Eisen.
These lies make me feel insane! Barbara Lee specifically urged “restraint” and quoted clergy saying “as we act let us not become the evil we deplore”

I find that, around 100% of the time outside the US (not just in rich countries), people are already shocked we have to pay a lot for health "insurance" and assume that word means all costs are covered. When they hear the truth they frequently experience some kind of psychosis
Our new paper is out today! We found that single neurons in rat frontal cortex tracked the provisional choices inferred by our behavioral model across model-predicted changes of mind. 🧵 below.

Finally out 😄 our new paper where we show that the rat frontal orienting fields (FOF) represent provisional choice during decision making in a dynamic environment and respond rapidly to model-predicted changes of mind: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… A thread/
