Goodbye and thanks to Sichao Liu - we enjoyed having you join the lab this past year, and hope the next stages of your Swedish Research Council fellowship go brilliantly.
We wrote a functional guide to TMS-fMRI, by consensus, with >30 authors! When, why, and how to concurrently stimulate and record brain activity for cog neuro and clinical research. Great to have such a lovely collaborative community pushing this forward! doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/9fyx…

Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9

Fascinating presentation from @rhodricusack capturing infant neural representation as reflecting self-supervised learning, at Birmingham workshop on Synergising the Human Brain and Artificial Neural Networks
Some of our lab are on tour today to Birmingham, looking forward to this workshop!
Workshop on "SBA: Synergising the Human Brain and Artificial Neural Networks", 26 April (you can also join online) at the University of Birmingham. Organized/sponsored by @SMQB_UoB, @TheCHBH and the IIDSA.

Yesss! We are so delighted to keep you around for a few more years and can't wait to see where this research goes! Many congrats again :)
Thank you all. I am really happy and still can't believe it. Here is to 5 years of exciting research on working memory with @LabWoolgar (TMS-FMRI), @RodBraga (ECoG-FMRI), and Van Essen/Glasser/H.Kennedy/@NeuroecologyLab (NHPs). Watch this space for recruitment posts.
Research assistant opportunity (6 months): Come and work with us on a TMS ⚡️ project looking at causal and temporal role of prefrontal areas in selective attention. More details: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/45975/ DM @Jade_BJackson to chat.

We're looking for a new PhD student to come and work with us on the topics of cognitive control and reinforcement learning! Deadline April 26th. For more information, please see users.ugent.be/~sbraem/. @GhentCCN
We are seeking a postdoc with strong analysis skills! With the superb @GwilliamsL, we will use ML decoding of EEG from autistic non-speakers listening to an audiobook, to study receptive language. More details and EOI here: tinyurl.com/m9atmjt4 Please RT!
Something really special: We have a 4-year postdoc position open, using neuroimaging to study potentially hidden cognitive abilities in non-speaking autism. M/EEG, decoding, receptive language, cognitive control jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/37323/ DM @AlexWoolgar to chat. Please RT!

Now published. This work investigates three ways of using representational connectivity analysis to evaluate potential transfer of information across the brain. A great collaboration with @AlexWoolgar (@LabWoolgar), @rikhens and @hamed_nili.

Come along to the #ohbm Multivariate Approaches session on Thursday morning (yes, after the club night) to see more simulation results from @TGrootswagers and @AlexWoolgar - we looked at the benefit of creating pseudotrials using trial averaging and resampling. Poster WTh579

Multiscale activation patterns of EEG (as quantified using Wavelet transformation) are very informative about semantic object categories and recognition performance frontiersin.org/article/10.3… @AlexWoolgar @LabWoolgar @AcademicEEG
