We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

I guess calligraphy would be a better term than penmanship but I've had a couple pops.

Oh shit - I forgot TNs QB transfered to UCLA. He gets paid one way or another but sheesh.

Eddie Ester @eester.bsky.social · Sep 7

Cursive? Because down 23-0 at the half penmanship is about all they've got.

Eddie Ester @eester.bsky.social · Sep 6

We are in complete agreement!

I realize I'm moving the goalposts but with the utmost respect I put zero stock in the results of animal studies. It's build-a-circuit through hypertraining.

The argument was re: the parameters of your hypothetical experiment, e.g., surgeons remove the minimal amount of brain tissue necessary ergo they must be worried about removing a "critical" brain area.

I smell a rat. Seems orcastrsted.

And while you’re at #ECVP seeking out @bradpostle.bsky.social, you may as well stay for the rest of the symposium with the amazing @tbchristophel.bsky.social, Maria Servetnik, and Clay Curtis (and me).

Brad Postle @bradpostle.bsky.social · Aug 22

Attending #ECVP next week? Please seek me out if you're potentially interested in a postdoc:

... not wrong?

Eddie Ester @eester.bsky.social · Aug 12

Fair. Do give a shout next time you're passing through. I know many, cheaper, and better coffee places.

Eddie Ester @eester.bsky.social · Aug 11

That's your fault for staying at a casino (the only place you'll pay $10 for a coffee anywhere in town). I think you'd like midtown on a Saturday afternoon though.

New paper day! Whereas earlier studies have shown that human eye movement patterns are influenced by the physical properties of remembered stimuli, we show that they are also influenced by stimulus meaning. h/t to Ali Pexsa (not on bluesky) who led this work.

Sour grapes for NIH. If you're going to filter and triage grants based on AI, at least let me use equivalent technology to flood the zone and test the limits of your filtering algorithms!

And if one of my grants gets through, pay up.

Important point!

Subcompact or hatch, because masochism?

Virtually everyone who has come and would like to come to this country is escaping a government with a comprehensive vision of the state.

The political leadership in this country is now articulating a comprehensive vision of the state and that is what needs to be vigorously challenged.
