Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Excited to share a new preprint from my lab at the University of Kentucky looking at the activity and dynamics of EEG microstates during the maintenance of attention over short and long timescales. biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A multi-lab replication effort (@eegmanylabs.bsky.social) of the contralateral delay activity (CDA) has just been published online! In brief, the set-size effect appears to be robustly observed, but CDA correlation with VWM capacity is not reliably strong. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

“The results [output of LLMs]… don't matter. What matters is… the training of minds, the creation of people who know how to think about hard problems. If you hand that process to a machine, you haven't accelerated science. You've removed the only part of it that anyone actually needed.”

Co-authorship with my colleague and friend Cody Mashburn. This was one of those studies I felt had to be done and Randy’s lab was an ideal place to do it right. Really enjoyed working on this.

The problem is not the existence of opposing worldviews, even extreme ones. Progress IS the existence of opposing worldviews. The problem is prescribing our worldview on others - which is an intolerance to diversity. Progress is accepting that people find meaning in things you find aberrant.

The problem is that would people choose misinformation that validates their views regardless of the algorithms that social media companies weaponize to keep us engaged in their platforms for the sake of profit. In the end… even on an open platform… “what we attend to is reality” - William James

Undergrad RAs presenting our work on attention control, brain networks, and pupil size. They did such a great job putting the posters together and presenting. Research is better, more productive, and rewarding when you get students involved.

This just came out: Three experiments suggest that specific and difficult task goals enhance sustained attention performance. 👁️👁️ I like how these authors applied theory from work psychology to their cognitive paradigm. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Nice views out the office window tonight. Love to see how the view changes with the seasons. Hard to capture the large swarm of swifts flying around, and seems like you can’t post videos here.
