📢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

📢We are hiring! 🚨 We are looking for a post-doc to come work at the new Wellcome-funded Imaging Machine learning And Genetics in Neurodevelopment (IMAGINE) lab. Job ad: kcl.ac.uk/jobs/091846-po… Please DM me if you’d like to discuss

“[A]ntifragile science requires not only that we accept the possibility of wrongness, but the inevitability of it.” My incredible wife (who also happens to be an incredible writer and scientist) wrote an incredible piece about embracing Uncertainty. 🥹 drcathicks.com/post/the-uncer…

oh i love this so very much. well worth a read.

Announcing new paper from our lab published yesterday in Nature Communications , led by the amazing Yuan-hao Wu. "Network mechanisms of ongoing brain activity’s influence on conscious visual perception". Summary picture below. 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Your mind’s eye exists somewhere on a sprawling continuum. Some people have visions so vivid that they are indiscernible from reality — and others cannot form mental images at all. Yasemin Saplakoglu reports: quantamagazine.org/what-happens-i…

new preprint "Domain Adaptation-Enhanced Searchlight: Enabling brain decoding from visual perception to mental imagery" with Roberto Santana Nadine Dijkstra megan peters 🧠

David Soto Roberto Santana Nadine Dijkstra very cool! domain adaptation is a hot topic these days in neuroimaging apparently ;) we just posted this a few months ago arxiv.org/abs/2405.19221

🚨 NEW: There have been no reports of riots tonight as thousands of anti-racist protesters significantly outnumber anti-immigration demonstrators across the country

Very cool study with surprising results by Rebecca Keogh and team on visual illusions in aphantasia! sciety.org/articles/activ…

Dear all, I will soon formally advertise a postdoc position on meditation and the predictive brain in my lab. An ERC funded project. More details can be found here for now: heleenslagter.com/positions Feel free to reach out with any questions! Please help spread the word!

🎉 Congratulations to Nadine Dijkstra UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology on receiving funding for #MonitoringReality! Her project will explore how the brain distinguishes imagination from perception using #neuroimaging, brain stimulation & computer modelling. European Research Council (ERC) bit.ly/3Xc7z9z

So exciting to hear this news!! And can’t wait to see all the amazing work that will come out of Nadine’s lab. To hear more about Nadine’s work you can listen to our episode with her here: mindsmatterpodcast.com/ep-2-your-mind…

I had the chance to write an Opinion Article with Radek Cichy & Daniel Kaiser. We argue that recent efforts in applying decoding methods to rhythms in visual cortex reveal a new function as carriers of content information. The preprint is now out: osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/n

We wrote a little opinion paper, where we argue that neural rhythms in the visual system represent and communicate visual contents. Spearheaded by Rico Stecher (Universität Gießen) and with Radek Cichy (Freie Universität). See thread below for more. 〰️👁️🧠 Link: osf.io/preprints/psya…
