Wait… flickering lights actually make you pay attention better? Gamma sensory flicker has been studied for Alzheimer’s disease, but here we asked a different question: Can it help healthy brains focus right now? Apparently… yes. (We were surprised too.) Paper here: doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

"...Add soccer practice and music lessons and doctors’ appointments, and so begins a tormented dance of the privileged, to-ing and fro-ing through rush hour as any zest for life disintegrates."

Check out new findings from @TinaFranklin: "Sensory neurostimulation promotes stress resilience with frequency-specificity" on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Chronic stress is a major risk factor for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, but for many of us it's unavoidable.

We live in a dynamic world, but we often study navigation as if the world is static. So how do we flexibly adapt in the face of new, pivotal information? @stephmprince.bsky.social addresses just that question in her latest paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
