A hall of mirrors in the abandoned Bell Labs complex in Holmdel, NJ Birthplace of more inventions than I can list here (follow the link for a rundown) and architect Eero Saarinen's swan song, it was saved from demolition and lives on as Bell Works.

Hello Mastodon! #introduction 👋​

I'm a cognitive neuroscientist 🧠​🔬​💻​ at the psychology department in Leiden, The Netherlands 🇳🇱​🌷​

I research how we make decisions 🔀​ and how our brains change as we age 👵​ (both in 🐁​ and 👩​)

Beyond brains, I care & post about #feminism, #openscience and #climateaction 🌍​

Happy to be here!

New preprint, led by @marinopagan
(he's on the job market! he's awesome!), together with a great team of collaborators!

For flexible, context-dependent decision-making, the space of network solutions is much larger than previously appreciated.

Moreover, variability across and even within individuals on where they are in this space is the underlying variable that jointly explains neural and behavioral variability.

🚨🚨🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨🚨🚨

A big mystery in brain research is what are the neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in higher order cognitive processes. Here we present a new theoretical and experimental framework, in collaboration with Vincent Tang, Mikio Aoi, Jonathan Pillow, Valerio Mante, @SussilloDavid and Carlos Brody.

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.

Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.

#introduction

👋

I do #NeuroScience and am interested in the #Circuit dynamics of adaptive but reliable visually guided #Behavior.

In our group at the University of #Bonn, we study

- the stabilization of the neural code in #Vision, #Perception, #Learning, and #Memory

- the pathway-specific processing of #Sensory and #SelfMotion signals

We emphasize ethologically relevant behavior, longitudinal #Optophysiology, and miniaturized and benchtop #TwoPhoton microscopy.
