Looking forward to John F. Cryan's talk on Tuesday (bravobrainseminar.com) #BravoBrainSeminar

Great and thought-provoking seminar given by John F. Cryan today. Looking forward to hearing more about their work on microbiome and dopaminergic system.

Looking forward to #CNS2021!

Great talk by Sarah Gerson and nice natural-play paradigm. Lots to think about how that could be related to autism, motivation and memory😀

Looking forward to Matthias Gruber @mjgruber.bsky.social's talk about #Curiosity at our #BravoBrainSeminar (organized with the Children's Mental Health Research Centre in Nanjing, China) on Tuesday.😀

Thank you Matthias Gruber @mjgruber.bsky.social for the great talk! ☀️😁

I put together this manual hippocampal segmentation tutorial with some 9.4T MRI data! I think there's something satisfying about watching it (at 4x speed) - it's a bit like watching a 3D printer at work.

Thank you very much Merideth Gattis for the great talk on parenting during infancy at our #BravoBrainSeminar.😀

Our new open source toolbox for EEG/MEG microstates from Luke Tait . Works on sensor/source space, does fitting/simulation, and is served with a bundle of statistical analyses. What is not to like? CUBRIC Systems Modelling & Quantitative Biomedicine biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So happy to see this paper out and on the cover page of the L&M 2021 August Issue (learnmem.cshlp.org/content/28/8.c…). Thanks to Matthias Gruber @mjgruber.bsky.social and Christos Gkoumas.

What happens in the brain when acting 'freely' or following your intention? We defined 4 types of free-choice tasks from the literature, and all activates the mPFC (with other associated regions) sciencedirect.com/science/articl… CUBRIC Cambridge FTD MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

⭐️ On Tuesday, @yanafandakova.bsky.social will give us a talk on cognitive control and memory in development. Looking forward to it! 😃

Thank you very much @yanafandakova.bsky.social for the great talk! 👏😀

Great to present (virtually) our recent findings on curiosity and spatial exploration at #iNAV2022😄. @m_j_gruber Carl Hodgetts (@cjhodgetts.bsky.social)

I am very happy to share our new preprint: psyarxiv.com/3gvsk/ "States of curiosity and interest shape different aspects of human spatial exploration", with Matthias Gruber @mjgruber.bsky.social and Carl Hodgetts (@cjhodgetts.bsky.social) 😃
