PhD student in neuroscience, based in Madison WI, currently working with acute Neuropixels. Deeply curious about all things valence, mechanisms of pain and pleasure, consciousness, phenomenology. Very interested in the basal ganglia in particular. Avid traveller and psychonaut. Dormant clinical psychologist. Non-religious, but maybe somewhat spiritual (only in Sam Harris’ sense).
Also, an occasional essay dropper. Why I’m writing this blog: check out “Long term goals manifesto”.
