Taking advantage of some quiet office time to get my S&P assessments in order. I'm adding these to a public OSF repo so others can use 'em, so take a look if you'll be teaching a #VisionScience course! I'll highlight some of my faves as we get closer to Spring term - stay tuned. osf.io/w8thf/

for a while I daydreamed about starting a blog called THE PROBLEM WITH CARS and every post would start "the problem with cars is" and the gag would be that there are so MANY problems with cars I'd never run out of material. Anyhow was thinking this morning about how the problem with cars (cont'd) /

We found one of the most robust examples of cultural learning in an animal species! Over 30 years, humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine learned a feeding behaviour from one another and its spread through the population based on who spends time together. www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Coming to Psychonomics? Come see @jamalamal.bsky.social and I’s work on how memory for objects is shaped — and not shaped — by semantic categories (spoiler: we think recognition induced forgetting isn’t a thing). Or just hang out with us if memory talks aren’t your vibe. #psynom24 #psychpsisky

If you're into awkward pacing, shaky voices, and entirely too much detail, then you're in luck! I'm super excited to give my first talk at #psynom24! This session features some fantastic talks and you should definitely come before and after mine!

New preprint! We know a lot about how the brain produces single words. But how does word production work in sentences? We tracked 6 words in the brain while ECoG patients used them to produce sentences like "Dracula hit Frankenstein". 🧵 1/9 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Last year I taught a graduate seminar, "Computational neuroscience in practice", which invited experimental neuroscientists to think computationally about their data. Reflecting on it, the class helped me better appreciate the inherent challenges of this enterprise.

New paper led by @mmrobinson93.bsky.social @jamalamal.bsky.social showing how even mathematically sophisticated researchers can end up unfairly comparing simple models because of how hard it can be to decide what assumptions to use to ground out a model in actual data. Case study of a bigger issue.

Another one: There's an "identical ancestors point" (IAP) in human history where everyone alive was either an ancestor of EVERYONE alive today, or of no-one alive today. The IAP relatively recent: from 5,000 to 15,000 years ago, about the time that Stonehenge was built.
