The Feilong Lab @sc.edu studies commonalities & differences across brains, and how they relate to cognition, language, & disorders.
We develop brain templates, improve hyperalignment, and compare human brains with monkey brains & DNNs.

Variability in #NeuralActivity is associated with cognition, but how does it relate to pain? @li-bo-zhang.bsky.social &co show that neural variability correlates with how individuals perceive #pain intensity in different contexts @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/48QPR2S
![Neural variability does not encode interindividual sensory sensitivity but reflects intraindividual sensory perception. (A) Point-by-point partial correlations between trial-averaged SD ([High + Low]/2) and sensitivity measured by mean ratings ([High + Low]/2) to sensory stimuli of four modalities in Dataset 1 (N = 141). No significant correlations were found in any modality. Note that no gray bars are shown because none of the partial correlation coefficients survived FDR correction (all P values > 0.05). The color bars underneath display the corresponding Bayes factor values for the correlations. Note that part-corr is short for partial correlation. The light-colored “bursty” curves represent the subject-averaged residuals of mean SD after regressing out mean amplitude. (B) Point-by-point intraindividual correlations between neural variability and ratings to sensory stimuli for each trial in Dataset 1 (N = 141). The gray bars represent t-statistics at time points where significant differences were observed after FDR correction. (C) Point-by-point partial correlations between trial-averaged SD and mean ratings to sensory stimuli of four modalities in Datasets 2&3 (N = 225). (D) Point-by-point intraindividual correlations between neural variability and ratings to sensory stimuli for each trial in Datasets 2&3 (N = 225). These results illustrate that neural variability encodes sensory perception at the intraindividual level, but does not encode sensory sensitivity at the interindividual level.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5522ztebtekoor5efelihqhb/bafkreibkwvpnw2iome7ah4acvcmfp3bfihj6y4ga6drnzrrpz5sumwfjzu@jpeg)

People are thinking about what is not happening almost as often as they are thinking about what is.
Doing so typically makes them unhappy.

Randomized controlled trials are a key tool to study cause and effect. Why do they matter and how do they work?
