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
ALT A meme featuring a man looking excitedly at a text that says "a simply study that pays well" and below the same man with a disappointed facial expression looking at a text that says "200 yes/no questions and it's not over yet"

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

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

Super excited about the first international TMS-fMRI workshop, in person, in Cyprus, this May. Concurrent TMS-fMRI users unite! Let's learn from one another. Register here: tmsfmri.com/workshop
Organised with @evaferedoes @MartinTik1 @Chris__Wind

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

Congratulations to @mrccbu's @OrbenAmy, who has been recruited to the @DCMS College of Experts. Amy’s expertise will help advise policymakers and she will support DCMS with its work to drive growth & enrich lives: bit.ly/3uooJ76

Nice to see this finally out! We were interested in something seemingly obvious but rarely quantified - the variation in brain regions underlying EEG electrodes across participants.
Do you use EEG positions to guide TMS? Check out this new paper with @catrionascriv! We highlight that brain regions under EEG electrodes are inconsistent across participants. Important to keep in mind when using electrodes to guide neurostimulation! 1/7 doi.org/10.1002/brb3.2476

Very happy that this paper led by @eringoddard18, with @CompCogNeuro, is finally out! This is one of my favourite papers so far :)

**JOB KLAXON**
We're looking for a postdoc to work with @calmcbu for the next two years, to help us with the longitudinal follow-up. Could this be a job for you!? You get to work with a brilliant team, and meet lots of young peeps and their families!

It's that time of year where one gets lots of emails from potential PhD students!🍂
I'm working on a standard response to help applicants include all relevant info, to help me decide more fairly who to support. What do you wish you'd known before emailing PhD supervisors?

Fantastic opportunities to study here at the @mrccbu

Thinking about whether you should use combined EEG-fMRI or separate recording sessions? I prepared this guide with some suggestions. Hope you find it useful! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Does the brain encode sensory information by combining several protocols (e.g. mean and variance encoding, each for one aspect of information), or a multiplexing protocol which encodes information at multiple temporal scales? @AlexWoolgar @LabWoolgar
