PhD student in computational cognitive neuroscience at NYU, studying attention with RL & DL
just dreamed of my high school classics teacher writing:
μων προφέσορ ακαι, ∀ d/dw morrow

in Latin alphabet, it is:
mon professor akai, ∀ d/dw morrow^2

mon is “my” in french, akai is Japanese for “red.”
interpret the math and it becomes:
“my professor red, for all tomorrow(s)”

Spread the word: I'm looking to hire a postdoc to explore the concept of attention (as studied in psych/neuro, not the transformer mechanism) in large Vision-Language Models. More details here: lindsay-lab.github.io/2025/12/08/p...

I’m excited to share my recent preprint on a neural network model of free recall that learns multiple memory strategies including the memory palace!

Je suis passé au balado RAD pour discuter de l'avenir de l'IA, des risques de la course actuelle dans le domaine, et de solutions pour une IA plus sécuritaire.

Merci à @olivierarbourmasse.bsky.social et à l'équipe de RAD pour l'excellente conversation!

How does the brain decide? 🧠

Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc.

After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up.

Transitions in dynamical regime and neural mode during perceptual decisions - Nature
Simultaneous recordings were made of hundreds of neurons in the rat frontal cortex and striatum, showing that decision commitment involves a rapid, coordinated transition in dynamical regime and neura...
