Hi All, I can officially share some exciting news! I will be starting a postdoc @ucdavis.bsky.social Department of #PsychiatryandBrainSciences with Dr. Manpreet Singh to study the neural mechanisms, prevention, and treatment of mental health disorders (e.g., bipolar disorder, ADHD)!

Can't wait!! 🎉

Yesterday I gave a talk at #CNS2025 on my postdoc project bridging lab & classroom—measuring attention in schools. As an early-stage researcher, it was an incredible opportunity to stand on that stage and contribute to this evolving conversation on real life neuroscience.

At @cogneuronews.bsky.social CNS tomorrow (Tuesday) morning? Don't miss Juliana Trach's poster on "Neural Correlates of Reinforcement Learning in the Human Cerebellum", 8-10AM.

We're excited about it -> robust RPEs in the human cerebellum, but ONLY for sub-second delay between choice & feedback!

Hello all, I will be at #cns2025 in Boston - feel free to drop by my poster (#A59) on Saturday titled "Choosing When and Where to Attend: Decoding the Electrophysiological Correlates of Self-Paced Willed Attention". Can't wait to meet up with all of you once again!

The time has come!!!

I will be defending my dissertation on 3/18 at 12pm ET! If you'd like to attend in person or remotely, send me a message and I can share details! :)

My dissertation is titled, "The ‘Same Coin’ Fallacy: Target Enhancement and Distractor Suppression in Human Visual Attention"

Spoiler alert: Using support vector machine decoding, we can predict whether someone is going to saccade to the left or right up to two seconds preceding the onset of a visual search array using solely the broadband EEG data!

Hello all!

New paper out on bioRxiv: 'Unconscious Neural Activity Predicts Overt Attention in Visual Search'. We looked at the EEG activity preceding the first saccade into a visual search.

Unconscious Neural Activity Predicts Overt Attention in Visual Search

Unconscious neural activity has been shown to precede both motor and cognitive acts. In the present study, we investigated the neural antecedents of overt attention during visual search, where subject...

Considering everything that's going on, this seems likely a timely announcement:

Our primer on emotion regulation is out now! 🤩

We break down what emotion regulation is, why it matters, and how to assess & improve it. 🤓

1/10 🧠 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX & bit.ly/3PW8RCx
