Very grateful to have received this award. I am constantly thankful for the support and opportunities that @uiowa provides for #1stGen students. I am glad we can be a small part of these efforts.
After years of efforts to provide chances for the first generation college students to experience actual neuroscientific research, @Wessel_Lab won an award for outstanding first generation student advocacy. Please join me in congratulating Jan for receiving this precious award!

I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred. Apply here:

Big day in the household as my wife Kristi Hendrickson won the Dean's Scholar Award for outstanding tenure package, and I was named Clement T. and Sylvia H. Hanson Family Chair of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Many thanks to @UIowaCLAS for continuing to support both of us!

The NoA of one of our R01s finally came through.
You know what they say: Better six months too late and cut by 25% than never.

Hello I am a North American journalist and op Ed writer. For the last 18 months my dang computer has been auto correcting all of my writing and posts to say that what’s happening in Gaza is complicated but necessary. What I actually meant is that it’s bad. Thank you

Happy to share our latest study led by @TantanBrainMan and our team @UCSF out today in Nature BME! Movement Responsive AI programmed BCI-aDBS improves naturalistic motion and reduces excessive movements at rest in PD.

Check out our paper ‘Ignoring the cerebellum is hindering progress in neuroscience’ in @TrendsCognSci! With @BangjieWang and @AmandaLeBel3 we quantify the extent of cerebellar exclusion in the neuroimaging literature and discuss reasons/fixes sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 🧵⬇️

New paper by Mario Hervault: Does the stop-signal P3 reflect inhibitory control?
Read what R1 described as "one of the best-written, clearest, and most well-argued pieces of work I have reviewed" and R2 tore apart in a 20 point, 3100 word rebuttal.

Happy New Year!
Please check out this story the UI grad college wrote about the man/myth/legend @cheolsoh for winning the University of Iowa's Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation. Stoked that he's sticking around a bit as a post-doc!

There’s bad airlines and then there’s “Slam the boarding door on you and your 2-yr old for being 1(!) minute late after you sprinted through customs, TSA and an entire airport to make up for THEIR delay on the previous 9h leg”-airlines. 6h layover coming, @united strikes again!

If it wasn't for the severe implications this has for lab staff, all you could do is laugh at the NIH paylines at this point.

Our new work on the inhibitory control of LANGUAGE is now available at JEP:General. This is a wonderful collab between Kristi Hendrickson (also my wife) and my labs, first-authored by a former undergrad who joined us after our #FirstGen workshop. 🧵 below psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-…

Indeed, we already have some highly preliminary, but super interesting intracranial recording data from the subthalamic nucleus in this task. Exciting days ahead! THE END, for now.
