New results!! Congratulations to @_ramanujans and Martyna Czarnik on their tour de force study that revealed a simple but remarkably flexible mechanism explaining how we use visual information in all sorts of ways. 🧵1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… How do we make flexible decisions based on what we see? While crossing the street, we might see many vehicles go by and even though they look very different, we can judge the color of any of them. 2/

Something new to start your Saturday! Our preprint describing how using algebraic topology to characterize neural populations explains behavior, attention, mind wandering, and the mechanisms underlying them. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
1/13 This is the work of phenomenal graduate student Tevin Rouse (shown here enjoying some augmented reality). Tevin came with a terrific math background and a truly special ability to learn many new things and notice how they all fit together. 2/13

It's a new paper day, so here goes my very first #tweeprint! It was a pleasure to work on this with the incredible Ramanujan Srinath and Doug Ruff. doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…
1/10 We can use visual information in very flexible ways (you might grab or ignore an ice cream cone depending on whether it's yours), which means that visual information must be routed through our brains flexibly through processes like selective attention 2/10
