Cybelle SmithExcited to release this preprint with <a href="https://mastodon.online/@annaschapiro" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@annaschapiro</a> and Sharon Thompson-Schill! Humans and recurrent neural nets can learn slow temporal statistics in the presence of fast timescale dependencies. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mseu44un" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/mseu44un</a>

Anna SchapiroWe have a new memory-based framework for thinking about replay, showing that a surprisingly large range of the characteristics of wake and sleep replay can be explained by simple memory mechanisms. We are very eager to get your thoughts and feedback on this new model! <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.22.533833v1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.22.533833v1</a>

Alexa TomparyI'm looking for a full-time Research Assistant to help jump start my new lab, starting this summer! There'll be opportunities to learn fMRI & TMS and investigate semantic & episodic memory interactions. Please DM or email me if you have questions! <a href="https://careers.drexel.edu/en-us/job/500507/research-assistant" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://careers.drexel.edu/en-us/job/500507/research-assistant</a>

Anna SchapiroSo sad to miss the Cosyne workshops this year. (Had a 2nd cancer-related surgery last week & can't yet travel.) Very grateful to <a href="https://sigmoid.social/@SaxeLab" class="u-url mention">@SaxeLab</a> for doing WAY more than his share of organizing & being there on the ground, and to <a href="https://qoto.org/@summerfieldlab" class="u-url mention">@summerfieldlab</a> for stepping in to help big time as well!

Berna DevezerOne of my professors during PhD used to say “You can drive a truck through the holes in any given paper. So you look for what you *can* learn instead.” And being the smartass grad students we used to think driving that truck was fun. After so many years, I now appreciate her wisdom more than ever. All scholarly work has limitations but it’s refreshing when people critically evaluate what’s the actual value of the research. It's about humility, honesty, rigorous intellectual work.

Erinn Acland, PhDStarting 2023, four universities are pausing or ending their Elsevier subscription due to exorbitant pricing.Elsevier's subscription was costing them ~10% of their Libraries' entire budget."Elsevier’s prices have increased each year and have outpaced inflation"...this is despite Elsevier having the highest profit margins of virtually any other industry or publisher.via <a href="https://www.dailyemerald.com/news/pressing-pause-on-elsevier-subscription/article_93c07dec-9120-11ed-8ce9-abbca97ab954.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dailyemerald.com/news/pressing-pause-on-elsevier-subscription/article_93c07dec-9120-11ed-8ce9-abbca97ab954.html</a> Figure via <a href="https://mastodon.social/@MatteoCarandini" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MatteoCarandini</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenScience</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AcademicPublishing</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

Sebastian MichelmannI have been slow to move over, but here goes my first post (toot?) on Mastodon: I'm very excited that our paper on continuous memory scanning is now out in PsychScience (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/09567976221128206" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1177/09567976221128206</a>).

Anna SchapiroThank you so much for the well wishes, everyone! Happy new year!!

Anna SchapiroThe period of uncertainty before this outcome was very tough, and I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without the support of several amazing breast cancer survivors in our field who helped me navigate both the medical and the professional impacts. If you are ever facing a diagnosis like this and think it could be useful to talk, please get in touch, I would love nothing more than to pay forward this kindness. 2/2

Anna SchapiroThis year threw me a curveball toward the end with a diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in touch with many of you at different points in this process, and I wanted to share the latest: They were able to surgically remove the cancer in its entirety. I am extraordinarily lucky. 1/2

Jeremy ManningHey 👋...I just joined neuromatch.social, so I'm re-introducing myself on mastodon-- thanks for stopping by!I'm an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth, and I run a research lab studying the brain network dynamics that support learning and memory.I really like computational models, deep learning, natural language processing, ed tech, open science, data science, visualization, and neuroimaging. I love coding and puzzles too 🤓!Wanna learn more about my lab, read our papers, download our software, take our MOOCs, watch our talks, etc.?

Mariam AlyHow do we balance paying attention to the external world around us vs. our internal thoughts and memories?The hippocampus shows differential coupling with the cholinergic basal forebrain and the dorsal attention network for externally cued vs. memory-guided attention.So proud of grad student Craig Poskanzer for leading this project!<a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.20.521285v1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.20.521285v1</a>
