Action

If any of this connects to work you're doing — in contemplative neuroscience, predictive processing, computational psychiatry, or related fields — I'd like to hear from you.

I'm currently an undergraduate researcher at Arizona State University, working in Dr. Yi-Yuan Tang's lab. I'm always glad to discuss the ideas on this site, get pointed toward relevant work I've missed, or hear new ideas about my analysis.

Try it yourself

A few of the ideas on this site are easier to notice than to explain. These are just prompts to sit with — nothing here is collected or analyzed.

• What's one moment today when your attention shifted before you decided to move it?
• When you're doing something effortlessly (walking, breathing, a familiar task), what does it feel like right before effort creeps back in?
• Notice a moment of mind-wandering today. What pulled you back — was it something in the environment, or something internal?
