Excited to share our new review in Trends in Neuroscience with Gouki Okazawa @gouki_okazawa: "The 'neat' and 'messy' in task-dependent neural geometry and computation" where we reviewed what we know about the 'task-manager' in the brain. A thread 👇

This takes a team: @SolMarkman, @ruoyic3, and Lily Kramer were undergrads when working on this project. They are now future neuro PhDs at @mcgovernmit, @CaltechN, and @UChicago_Brains! Unconditional support from @marlenecohen made this work possible. See tinyurl.com/yjmuj5m9

The above story is also covered by @UChicagoBSD at tinyurl.com/3tacr26h . Study funded by NIH and @SimonsFdn . Share if you find this interesting! @decisionneurop #CognitiveFlexibility #electrophysiology #RNN #psychophysics

Feature interference: Why your brain struggles with uncertain tasks

A UChicago study finds that when the brain is unsure which information matters, separate visual features get mixed up in the brain, and performance on tasks suffers.
