Kicking off the week with more great @bsosumd news: @PSYCTerps' Weizhen "Zane" Xie was named a 2025 Searle Scholar, awarding him $300K to build on his existing research on human memory & cognition with a new project concerning semantics. Congrats, Zane! go.umd.edu/xiesearle25

Yay! See you at this year's @VSSMtg! Excited to bring together my undergrad advisors (Yan Bao, Ernst Pöppel) and Zane @IconLaboratory in one project. With a fun set of abstract paintings by contemporary artist LaoZhu, we found that lower activation in DNNs predict higher beauty.

#CogNeuro seeks unified theories of behavioral, physiological, and mental states. To this aim, our @NatureNeuro Perspective proposes a new framework centered on #TaskDemands & across-task generalization. nature.com/articles/s41593-0… w/@Alex_C_Schmid @smkaps @Chris_I_Baker D.Kravitz🧵

How strange faces linger in memory? Ye et al. find visually memorable, unfamiliar faces trigger rapid encoding, resisting distractions and forgetting. It suggests stimulus features can boost visual memory formation. @iconlaboratory @ChaoxiongYe sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Kicking off 2024 with our first paper of the year! After a year of hurdles, we're embracing this new start with optimism. Excited to share our publication in @ScienceAdvances, investigating changes in spike #transmission in cell assemblies. shorturl.at/otEU5

Wired together, change together: Spike timing modifies transmission in converging assemblies

Closed-loop optogenetics shows that the spike timing of cell assemblies affects spike transmission, exhibiting concurrent plasticity.

Cortical reactivations predict future sensory responses

Nature - Offline cortical reactivations predict the gradual drift and separation in sensory cortical response patterns and may enhance sensory discrimination.

Visual and linguistic semantic representations are aligned at the border of human visual cortex

Nature Neuroscience - This study shows that visual areas pass information to the amodal semantic system through semantically selective channels aligned at the border of visual cortex. This...

I'm absolutely delighted to share that I'll be joining @Georgetown University Medical Center as an Asst Prof in Spring 2024 to lead the Vision, Imaging, & Plasticity (VIP) Lab. I'm recruiting founding VIP members (grad students, a postdoc, & RAs). Please RT & help spread the word! 🚀

🚨Our latest out @NatureComms! 🚨 Why are drugs like Ritalin therapeutic when taken orally, but highly addictive when taken intravenously? We used simultaneous PET-fMRI with drug challenges to see how the rate of dopamine increases affects drug reward! rdcu.be/dqzOu

🧠Tomorrow, Dr. Yaoda Xu will tell us about "Understanding visual representations in human occipito-temporal and posterior parietal cortices and convolutional neural networks." The talk starts at 10:15am and is in BRB 1103. See you all tomorrow!🧠

I'm happy to say that with a terrific group of grad students and a postdoc, we carried out a broad review that I never could have done on my own, for the Annual Review of Psychology, on **the relation between attention and memory** annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…

Hey, my department @UofMaryland is hiring in social and I/O Psychology - maybe you should apply if you do those sorts of things: Social: ejobs.umd.edu/postings/11074… I/O: ejobs.umd.edu/postings/11070…

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… 1/9

Conference on the beach! Attending the #LEARNMEM2023 conference this week and happy to see the sun :) if you are at @LEARNMEM I’ll be presenting a poster on Saturday detailing my project on traveling waves and their role in human episodic memory (4.3.2)! – at Costa Mesa, CA

Excited to give a talk on Monday, May 1st, 2023, at 3-4 pm PT (6-7 pm ET), discussing our new study on working memory in @NatureHumBehav (rdcu.be/c8jS3). I will also be discussing why large-scale experiments are crucial! ucr.zoom.us/j/94315413672?pw…
