September 2026 · The MCN Lab is recruiting
We are seeking two postdoctoral researchers interested in cognitive computational neuroscience and multimodal approaches to understanding the human brain. Learn more about the opportunities.
August 2026 · New review of visual-to-memory transformations
A new review proposes a computational framework for how the brain transforms visual feature codes into sparse, concept-based representations in the medial temporal lobe. Read the review.
February 2026 · New study of visual object coding
A new Nature Communications study integrates intracranial EEG, human single-neuron recordings, and computational modeling to characterize how visual object information is transformed across the human temporal lobe. Read the paper.
August 2025 · Brain cells link facial features with identity
Research led by Runnan Cao identified neurons that bridge visual facial features with identity representations and memory. The work appeared in Nature Human Behaviour. Read the WashU research story.
September 2026 · Website launch
