Happy that my final PhD paper is now out in Current Biology! If you want to find out more about laminar 7T fMRI and how perceptual predictions and errors are represented across V1, check it out 😊 @joosthaarsma Daniel Yon @PeterKokNeuro Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For the next @UCL_EP seminar on 14/05, Prof @HeleenASlagter invites us to reconsider how attention is typically approached: rather than as a mere sensory filter but as a relational process that optimizes agent-environment interactions based on priors. buff.ly/3wjdcta

Cool work showing that prediction errors are stronger in superficial layers of visual cortex. Predictions and errors are distinctly represented across V1 layers doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… #neuroscience Results are in line with Predictive Routing. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Looking forward to welcoming everyone to Birmingham today for the start of Control Processes 2024 The Centre for Human Brain Health, Uni of Birmingham & Edgbaston Park Hotel. Kicking off with a drinks reception out here in the sun, before John W. Krakauer's keynote talk. Safe journey everyone! uobevents.eventsair.com/control-proces…

This is published now as journal article: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… Congratulations Emily Thomas, @PeterKokNeuro, Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social et al. There is also a commentary that comes along with it: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Do you need another reason to sign up for #SAMBA2024? Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social sharing her research on the interdependence of statistical learning and perception definitely ticks that box! Head over to our homepage and register now! samba.ccns.sbg.ac.at/samba-2024/reg…

How do beliefs about visibility influence perceptual decisions? What does this mean for our models of perceptual detection? Here Matan Mazor provides a new model. Great work Matan and Rani Moran 👇

📢ERC-funded PhD at UCL📢 How does learning about the world's statistical structure optimise perception for future learning? If you're interested in this perception-learning cycle, & enjoy developing both theories & methods, apply! Pls repost/ask me qus🙏 tinyurl.com/bde3ektx

Many congratulations to the newly minted Dr Cllr. James Chard 🇺🇦 🔶 on passing your PhD viva with flying colours. Truly well deserved and a real pleasure to supervise. Thanks so much to @CarienvanReekum and @Silvia_Seghezzi for examining and joining us for the fun celebrations 🎉
