Brain Meeting this Friday is given by Dr Petra Vertes (University of Cambridge) The talk will be on: Maps, Minds and Maths: New strategies for understanding the biological basis of mental ill-health Seminar Room, 3.15pm UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology

Advice-taking in the lab WCHN. Which one do you follow: Elisa van der Plas or the generative model? One of the researchers taking part in the Dear World Project in her natural habitat. She is working alongside Tom Berry to produce a piece exploring advice-taking.

Hey look, it's me! Come down if you're interested in social neuroscience. Also come down if you're cynical about social neuroscience.

Art co-produced by neuroscientists & artists, exploring labels associated with mental health, is going on show starting today in east London.

I’m excited to share a preprint from my Wellcome funded fellowship on the neurobiological basis of flexible social behaviour: “Private-public mappings in human prefrontal cortex” - in collaboration with @smfleming Hamed Nili Sara Ershadmanesh 1/N biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just gave my first zoom-seminar in the covid-19 era! I presented "domain general metacognition: a confirmatory study" at the #ConsciousnessClub. Warm thanks to @smfleming for the invitation and hosting, and thanks to all who attended! Great feedback, it was a lot of fun.
