Deeply honored and grateful to receive this award! Thank you for the opportunity @HopkinsKavli and the invaluable guidance of my mentors @kishoreneuro and @BaselessPursuit. Excited to continue my postdoctoral research, exploring new frontiers in habit formation.
Congratulations to all the Kavli NDI Distinguished Fellowship awardees. We are thrilled to support bold innovative transdisciplinary research, bridging #Neuroscience, #Engineering and #Data Science. @KavliFoundation @kishoreneuro @JEFworks @JustusKebschull @martinowk @kalhorlab

Come check out our work today!
Coming to Chicago for @SfNtweets? Come check out our posters and meet our amazing team on Monday afternoon (all together this time!) Diverse projects (single-task learning, continual learning, AD, vocalization categories, habits) and species (mice and bats). Monday 1-5pm E5-E12

1/ A century ago, Tolman showed that meaningful learning can occur even without apparent performance improvements. What is the neural basis of this distinction between learning something vs learning to perform? We tackle this in a new manuscript šŸ”„ šŸ­šŸ”¬šŸ“° biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Excited to have this paper out in the world @CurrentBiology! This work was led by the brilliant @ziyizhu15 who took the leap of faith to join the lab as the first PhD student. He epitomizes the best of science - creative, careful, diligent, and a true team player (1/6)

Excited to share our new result on Current Biology: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… with @kishoreneuro. Is there such a thing as a ā€˜strategic’ error? Humans and other animals often make errors when learning something new, in part because learning a task with no prior knowledge is hard.

My lab is open to colleagues afected by the horrific violence. Berlin. Auditory systems neuroscience
If you’re collaborating with Israeli PIs, think about whether you could invite one of their international trainees for a short stay so that they can get some work done while they are unable to return to their home lab.

Have you ever wondered when a habit becomes a habit? Like when you were supposed to turn left to the grocery store but ended up turning right as if going to work? Check out our recent work w/@kishoreneuro @baselesspursuit @ziyizhu15 @Sun_Ruolan and twitter-less Zyan Wang in a 🧵

‣ This view suggests that animals under habitual control can still internally ā€˜experience’ periods of goal-directedness (i.e. they still want plain water sometimes). In addition, the higher-level nature of the choice suggests that habitual control need not be permanent.
