Go check out the exhibit in Toronto before December!

Together, *might* suggest dissociable effects of psychedelics and dissociatives on WM capacity vs. precision: capacity less impaired by dissociatives, precision less impaired or even enhanced by psychedelics.

“Muscimol killed mice at a lower dose than nearly all psychotropic drugs we examined, including fentanyl.” That can’t be right when muscimol is active in milligrams and fentanyl is active in micrograms.

Culmination of many years of work and thought in my little sub area of psych and neuro. Big thanks to @gushennings.bsky.social and @plaing94.bsky.social for helping bring this one home. We hope it provokes thought and improvement in the realm of fear generalization research.

I used to love this time of year, hearing from students applying to work in my lab. No more. Every day a fresh batch of nearly identical emails with nonsensical remixes of the text on my lab website. It makes me so sad.

Wow. Jim Pekar is so ahead of his time that he's publishing in the future!

Lastly, it was great catching meeting my soon-to-be co-author David Lawrence. Watch this space for more bizarre psychedelic effects on familiarity!

My chapter in the exhibit book! I should have taken more pics, but I had to capture the fact that they included Kid Cudi among psychedelic music (something I 100% agree with!)

Austin, TX & surrounding community: We're testing the effects of psychedelics on brain function & cognition. This is not for mental health treatment, and there'll be several cognitive tasks (no lying on a couch or eyeshades), but you'll be supporting science! Please share!

So the “line-of-sight” method we used was simple but is probs going out of fashion in favor of acoustic modeling, which is what we plan on doing next but is complicated. There’s a side of me that thinks just wait for the devices that do both targeting and sonication, but no idea how much those cost.
