The best part was the hands-on experience and teamwork—studying neural signatures of how the brain familiarizes with stimuli over time. Visualizing the data, I saw neural dynamics bloom into flowers 🌸 & spirals 🌀 across brain areas—so exciting! 🧠✨

My first time @cosynemeeting.bsky.social this week and I couldn't be more excited
Tomorrow, I'll be
presenting "Mood as an Extrapolation Engine for Decision-Making", a cognitive science perspective on "Functional Acceleration for Policy Mirror Descent" (arxiv.org/abs/2407.16602)
Come chat!

First day of spring marked new personal beginnings 🌱
PhD was the best of times...a wondrous trip 🥹, but I'm super excited to start a new chapter 😬
