🥳Our review of intracranial EEG research on the neural correlates of consciousness is out in eLife: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...! We think these methods offer a unique window on consciousness!🧠 A thread 👇

for undergrads getting their degrees this Fall: if u're computationally savvy & wants to get into cog neuro -- instead of taking up lab manager / RA positions, why not come to Korea & get a master's degree instead? it will be all paid for w/ stipend, of coz. why would u pay for a master's degree??

RA position open at @BCBL_eu (San Sebastian, Spain)! Work on decoded neurofeedback, fMRI/fNIRS/EEG, and ML to study how subjective experience can be shaped. 2-yr contract, starts Sept. 2026. Deadline: June 30. Apply here shorturl.at/Xw4pn Please RT! @hakwan.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That appears to be the thinking behind the 2027 budget request to Congress that President Donald Trump unveiled today. https://scim.ag/4sRnw3x

Slasher sequel: Trump again proposes major cuts to U.S. science spending

Science advocates urge Congress to reject 2027 budget plan

BREAKING: In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, NSF is shuttering its SBE directorate. Staff will be transferred to other parts of the agency and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be maintained. That & more w/ @maxkozlov.bsky.social & @edwrdchen.bsky.social

Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration

Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Directorate has awarded only 16 grants since October. No big budget cuts went through. No freeze. The courts have acted to keep funds flowing at every turn. The money just isn't going out. Why...? 1/x source: grant-witness.us/funding_curv... 🟦🧠 #academicsky

Something is emerging in Santiago this July. A new kind of scientific gathering. Open data. Interdisciplinary teams. A shared question that's been challenging researchers for decades. Introducing Consciousness Commons: A satellite workshop for early-career researchers @assc2026.bsky.social #ASSC29

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets

The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.
