Let’s hope others follow suit.

- Reposted by Clare PressNew paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Fab work by Quirin - "ORFs" which map precise spatiotemporal relationships between neural processing & oculomotion (dilation, saccades, blinks, gaze). He shows how they can elucidate mediating roles of oculomotion in task-related neural responses w/ clinical application. Check it out: #neuroskyence
