Excited to be giving a talk at #VSS2026 tomorrow, May 19! Come by the Decision Making session at 11 am, Talk Room 2. I'll be presenting our new work on how sequential evidence accumulation adapts to evidence reliability 🎯 Abstract: www.visionsciences.org/presentation...

I’m excited to share my 1st first-authored paper, “Distinct portions of superior temporal sulcus combine auditory representations with different visual streams” (with @mtfang.bsky.social and @steanze.bsky.social ), now out in The Journal of Neuroscience! www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Fig. 1. a. Visual and auditory regions of interest (ROIs). b. Responses in a combination of visual (e.g., early dorsal visual stream; Fig. 1a, middle panel) and auditory regions were used to predict responses in the rest of the brain using MVPN. c. In order to identify brain regions that combine responses from auditory and visual regions, we identified voxels where predictions generated using the combined patterns from auditory regions and one set of visual regions jointly (as shown in Fig. 1b) are significantly more accurate than predictions generated using only auditory regions or only that set of visual regions.

#VSS2025 Super excited to present my poster “Categorical Representations in Sequential Evidence Accumulation” on Tuesday May 20, 2:45pm-6:45pm at Pavilion 56.440! Come say hi if you are curious about how we study categorical decision-making and evidence accumulation 🧠👀
