Happy to have contributed to this large-scale sEEG work on attentional capture by salient distractors spearheaded by Benchi Wang at SCNU. The temporal lobes are surprisingly reactive to salient distractors compared to parietal and frontal cortices. NHB:

Participate in The Connectivity Data Challenge on MEG analysis at biomag2024. It is a competition organized by the Cogitate Team ARC-COGITATE. For instructions, prizes, etc see arc-cogitate.com/biomag-2024

A great honor to be in the committee and congratulations to Laurie on an excellent thesis and defense

Join us for an immersive learning experience using the FLUX pipeline for MEG data analysis at The Centre for Human Brain Health, University of Birmingham from June 11th to 14th, 2024. For program details, registration, and to meet our amazing teaching team, please visit neuosc.com/flux-toolkit

Interesting model work linking the N400 to predictive coding anchored in a biologically plausible algorithm for approximating Bayesian inference

Exciting opportunity: A postdoc position in cognitive neuroscience at U Geneva with Nina Kazanina & Sophie Schwarz: drive.google.com/file/d/1N2quzx…

An interesting MEG study by the Huan Luo group uncovering the neuronal mechanism related to how past decisions impact sensory processing

Exciting EEG/MEG work by the group of the always innovative Huan Luo on WM: '...these findings strongly support that complex sequences are reorganized into factorized multi-dimensional neural representational geometry in WM'

New Preprint!

We’ve built an OPM gradiometer that is capable of intrinsically measuring neuromagnetic gradients, while rejecting common-mode noise.

Thanks to everyone involved! (Quantum Neuroscience Lab, Yulia Bezsudnova, Lari Koponen, Ole Jensen @olejensen.bsky.social)

Most standard MEG systems have gradiometers rather than magnetometers to suppress distant noise sources. Our team The Centre for Human Brain Health therefore developed an Optically Pumped Magnetic Gradiometer measuring human brain activity while suppressing e.g. lift artefacts

Opportunity for one lucky postdoc to join a really friendly & successful lab!
