Follow me! One day I’ll have an epiphany and solve the hard problem of consciousness. My revelation will come as I watch my 3 kids grow up, nourished by the food and joy my salary provides. Current job: postdoc @siegellab 🔬🧑💻 Working Memory.

The global neuronal workspace (GNW) is currently the best documented neuroscience mechanism by which conscious processing arises in the human brain — and now Anthropic researchers have discovered a similar workspace inside their large language model !

New paper out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social 🎉
What determines contextual modulation in V1? Why does the visual surround sometimes facilitate and sometimes suppress a neuron's response to its preferred stimulus?

Temporal order in vision can be rewritten. A brief visual mask can reverse the perceived order of sequential stimuli—even without spatial overlap—suggesting a fast temporal signal anchoring visual updating. Full story here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If you are interested in analyzing sharp wave ripples with tools from dynamical system check out poster 3-008 at #Cosyne2026!
3-008 poster session 3 (Sat, Mar. 14, 13:15) [in collaboration w/ Zahra Monfared's lab zmonfared.github.io/DSAIlab/]: Anima will present how can we capture dynamics of transient activities such as well-known sharp wave ripples (SWR) based principled tools from dynamical system.

🚨 🆕 Preprint 🚨
How does the brain represent natural images?
Using MEG + multivariate analysis, we disentangle contributions of retinotopy, spatial frequency, shape, and texture
Together, our results reveal how visual features jointly and dynamically support human object recognition.

Check out our work led by Katrina Quinn, showing that neural representations of abstract choice aren't just due to a requirement to flexibly & rapidly switch between choice-motor mappings. This points to a general role of abstraction in decision-making.
