These past few weeks the fight for our uni has taken a new turn. We've lost ~700 staff already. Will it be 1000 in the end, with the management's "Strategy to Recovery"? Unis as a business vs as a place of research & education - coming to a head in Dundee and across the UK. More ⬇️

Today members of the Dundee UCU branch protested against their voices not being heard. “We are disappointed to learn that a paper that Dundee UCU was invited to submit to Court for inclusion in the Court’s workshop on University’s recovery was rejected without appeal.” 1/4

Very happy and proud about two recent preprints by talented PhD students Sümeyye Sen Alpay and Sarah Allen. 👀Pupil- and gaze dynamics track emotion content in natural speech doi.org/10.64898/202... 📖Cortical Tracking of Speech and Music Predicts Reading Ability in Adults doi.org/10.64898/202...

Join us for the first symposium of the OPM-MEG Action Scotland (OMEGAS) initiative - www.dundee.ac.uk/omegas, to take place at the University of Dundee, *9-10 Dec*, and funded by the Quantum ARC quantum-tech-alliance.co.uk #neuroskyence #meg #opm /1

Undoubtedly the most massive group effort I was ever lucky to be involved in. Led by the ever-unwavering @annekeitel.bsky.social, this preprint synthesizes the status quo of what we (don't) know about neural oscillations. Grateful to be part of the @scone-neuro.bsky.social network. #neuroskyence

Brain rhythms in cognition -- controversies and future directions

Brain rhythms seem central to understanding the neurophysiological basis of human cognition. Yet, despite significant advances, key questions remain unresolved. In this comprehensive position paper, w...

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...

@scone-neuro.bsky.social has a great review coming soon led by @annekeitel.bsky.social. We summarize major oscillatory mechanisms and discuss open questions across a range of subfields in cog neuro. The preprint should be out soon.

This letter to Douglas Ross is how staff find out which areas may face module reductions and that 700 people may be affected by the cuts! Staff receive no communication, courtesy or respect from executives at the University of Dundee. None. www.parliament.scot/-/media/file...

Kudos to @karlinave.bsky.social and team for seeing this through. Huge replication effort with 13 labs and N = 152. Does the original result hold up? #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #EEG

Joel Snyder@auditoryjoel.bsky.social · last yr.

It's got a boring title but this preprint is being submitted for Stage 2 consideration at AMPPS, and is in fact very exciting! Karli Nave led a group of labs that replicated an influential EEG study on auditory beat perception by Nozaradan et al. (2011). We found: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have reached 300 participants in our population study! ✨ Read more about this milestone here: brainwaves4hearing.wordpress.com/news. Thanks @tanjucka.bsky.social and Rosanne for making this possible 💟

I'm excited to share our preprint on musical rhythm processing 🎵🎵 We show that cortical tracking is influenced by pitch predictability, expertise & enjoyment. 💙 Thanks to @johannarimmele.bsky.social @ckeitelsci.bsky.social and all the others in this huge project 💙 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I don't see enough Black voices on this platform -- maybe I haven't found them yet? Let's try something together, if y'all feel like it: - If you're a Black scientist on Bluesky, feel free to respond here and I'll follow you - If you're not, please share the responses (and/or this post) to amplify

Absolutely love this work! ❤️ Check out the fantastic new preprint on links between breathing and pupillometry by @ckeitelsci.bsky.social @danlikesbrains.bsky.social Joachim Gross.

Daniel S. Kluger@danlikesbrains.bsky.social · 3y ago

The link between respiration and arousal is a bit more puzzling than widely assumed, as pointed out in the great review by non-blue Martin Schaefer and others from @odorjohan.bsky.social 's lab. Led by @ckeitelsci.bsky.social, we try to advance things a little with pupillometry. 🧠🟦 🧠🫁
