Excited to share that I'm joining WashU in January as an Assistant Prof in Psych & Brain Sciences! 🧠✨!
I'm also recruiting grad students to start next September - come hang out with us! Details about our lab here: www.deckerlab.com
Reposts are very welcome! 🙌 Please help spread the word!

This project began after my move to NIH and has been an eye-opening synthesis of my and Silvia's previous work. Couldn't be prouder of the incredible work of my first trainee and first author Corey Plate, who has just left NIH to begin his MD/PhD!
Preprint alert 🚨! Excited to share our new work on metacognition in value-based decision-making. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/.... We ask whether it is possible to derive a computational measure of metacognitive ability for economic preference choices.
Computational characterization of metacognitive ability in subjective decision-making
Metacognition is the process of reflecting on and controlling one's own thoughts and behaviors. Metacognitive ability is often measured through modeling the relationship between confidence reports and...

A bit delayed, but I'm happy to announce my first paper as a postdoc in the Jazayeri lab! We discuss recent insights into the neurobiology of timing and why timing is a useful platform to understand flexible control of behavior more generally. We hope the review is useful!

Control Principles of Neural Dynamics Revealed by the Neurobiology of Timing | Annual Reviews
Cognition unfolds dynamically over flexible timescales. A major goal of the field is to understand the computational and neurobiological principles that enable this flexibility. Here, we argue that th...

Movements alter V1 activity in mice, but two new studies suggest that something else is going on in monkeys.
How is the field making sense of this? And what does it mean for cross-species comparisons? My latest for @thetransmitter.bsky.social:

Monkey studies throw wrench into decade-old idea about movement’s effect on visual cortex
Movements that boost activity in the visual cortex of mice have the opposite or no effect in marmosets and macaques, prompting questions about whether mice are a suitable model for the primate visual…

Hi everyone! My first post on bluesky despite being a lurker for a while. I'm excited to be a part of an SFN minisymposium on suppression and variability in visual cortex this afternoon. If you're at #SFN23, check it out! #neuroskyence
