New paper! Allow me to introduce TARS = Torqued Accelerator using Radiation from the Sun. TARS (yes inspired by Interstellar!) is a rotating light sail that's capable of launching chip sats into interstellar space using only radiation from the Sun, so let's dive into how it works.

Grateful to have our paper published in #PLOSBiology! Excited to share our findings and contribute to the conversation.
Reward expectation modulates #attention & #DecisionMaking but are these mediated by common or distinct mechanisms? This study shows that spatial manipulation of #reward expectation modulates sensitivity, while choice-based manipulation affects decision making @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4eDPERq
