Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University

So cool to have @melaniemitchell.bsky.social with us as our @wutsaiyale.bsky.social Inspiring Speaker!

🚨 Keynote announcement: Joe Tsai '86, '90 J.D. — co-founder & chairman of Alibaba — is coming to the 2026 Yale Innovation Summit (May 27–28, New Haven).

On AI, he's making the case to focus less on benchmarks and more on real-world impact. Don't miss it.

Why leaving things unfinished messes with your mind A new Yale study explains the connection between visual memory and why that unchecked to-do list haunts you.

Ever notice how unfinished tasks are hard to stop thinking about?

A new Yale study shows that the brain gives open tasks extra priority, helping explain why they stick with us and shape our focus and motivation. #Yale

Brain circuits, bioturbation, and a new physics doc Yale researchers study a mass extinction from the distant past, uncover hidden brain networks, and share expertise at an international meeting on enhanced weathering.

Curiosity is leading researchers in surprising new directions. In the newest Insights & Outcomes column, #Yale scientists:
◾ Revisit a distant mass extinction to understand our world today
◾ Uncover hidden brain networks that shape behavior
◾ Test how “enhanced weathering” advances climate solutions

Stress hormones can alter brain networks -- and strengthen emotional memories A new Yale study investigates how cortisol, a stress-related hormone, helps the brain build emotional memories.

Stress plays a powerful role in how we learn and remember.

A new Yale-led study shows how the hormone cortisol reshapes brain communication and strengthens emotional memories, while also exploring when stress might support learning and adaptation. #Yale

Happy New Year folks!! Start the year off with a submission into Black In Neuro’s first ever special issue. 18 days until the deadline, keep an eye out for the release 📝 ✨
@binmanhattan.bsky.social @academic.oup.com

An algorithm that generates faster and better responses to your inquiries The new paper provides a faster and more accurate algorithm for generating structured text from language models.

A new approach could help AI answer complex questions faster and more accurately.

In a prize-winning paper, Yale engineer Alex Lew shows how some guiding constraints can slow AI or distort results and offers a practical way to improve both speed and quality. #Yale

Wu Tsai Institute: Making the right connections With state-of-the-art research facilities and collaborative spaces, Yale's Wu Tsai Institute is on a mission to understand human cognition by bridging academic disciplines.

Understanding the mind takes many ways of seeing.

Faculty at the Wu Tsai Institute are working across neuroscience, engineering, and psychology to study how the mind works. A look inside the institute’s new home shows how shared spaces and new tools are supporting discovery through collaboration.

Taking Action Seriously in the Brain: Revealing the Role of Cognition in Motor Skills Samuel McDougle, a CNS 2026 YIA recipient, studies both how people build motor skills through mental functions like “motor working memory."

From Sam McDougle's love of music has sprung a focus on how people learn and get better at motor skills – an area he sees as sometimes neglected in cognitive neuroscience. Read a new Q&A with him, a preview of his #CNS2026 YIA talk:
