Hi folks, I’m afraid it’s time for me to say goodbye. Not just leaving Twitter, but the whole show. I’ve been battling cancer last 2 years, but now only have a few days left now. Thank you wonderful people, I leave this crazy world with much love in my heart ❤️

As a PI, I love talk-invitations and find inspiration in visiting new labs. As a single mom of 2 under 10, I was paying out of pocket for care to enable such trips. It was starting to really add up. So half a year ago I began asking for reimbursement for care costs… (1/2)

New paper! With @timbuschman Working Memory Is Complex and Dynamic, Like Your Thoughts direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/…

Working Memory Is Complex and Dynamic, Like Your Thoughts

Abstract. Working memory is where thoughts are held and manipulated. For many years, the dominant model was that working memory relied on steady-state neural dynamics. A neural representation was...

What’s the relation between this golf shot and dynamic coding in PFC? Hint: the hole is an attractor state and the path of the ball is a trajectory in neural state space. Just as it’s often suboptimal to hit the ball directly at the hole, it’s the same in neural circuits! 1/4

I have extremely fond memories of my time in @StokesNeuro's lab. Alumni got together and wrote about the example set by Mark. Thanks to @Alexandra_Pike and @NoonanMP for the initiative, and to @postlelab for setting up the JoCN Special Focus of which this is part. (PDF in thread)

Thank YOU Darinka!

A little bit different from my typical cog neuro research, but, nevertheless, such an interesting and important topic. All too often, we tend to forget that science is done by groups of people, and that lab culture matters. Thanks @StokesNeuro for having been such an inspiration!

This is amazing, thanks Alex et al for putting this together. I’m honoured by the kind words, but also very proud of your collective wisdom. Thanks for the inspiration you have all provided me over the years. Continue doing wonderful things!

A bunch of @StokesNeuro's trainees (from many points in time) put together a list of '10 simple rules for a supportive lab environment', inspired by the example he set. This has been a wonderful moment of reflection for me personally, as I start my own lab direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/…

10 Simple Rules for a Supportive Lab Environment

Abstract. The transition to principal investigator (PI), or lab leader, can be challenging, partially due to the need to fulfil new managerial and leadership responsibilities. One key aspect of this...

It’s been a long journey, but we have a new preprint out on the representation of items in working memory before and after mental transformation. Featuring Guven Kandemir @mijowolff @aytckrby @StokesNeuro & Nikolai Axmacher. Sneak peek below. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Concurrent maintenance of both veridical and transformed working memory representations

In a dynamic environment, the already limited information that human working memory can maintain needs to be constantly updated to optimally guide behaviour. Indeed, previous studies showed that...

I think it's probably time to share this...I wrote a book. It's coming out in dec 2022 (in theory). It is intended to help cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and AI researchers find a common language for talking about computation and intelligence.

How does the brain encode information about the world? New insights gained in this research from @BrainInTheMind @andreabocincova @timbuschman @StokesNeuro @OxExpPsy @PrincetonNeuro @PNASNews ndcn.ox.ac.uk/news/new-insig…

New insights gained into how the brain encodes information about the world

Scientists have developed a new way to test the theory that active neurons can change what they signal in the world, rather than keeping a stable correspondence to things (such as a features of an...
