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 ⬇️

Dundee UCU@ducuuo.bsky.social · 3mo ago

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

"Nobody needs convincing that a science of the Meaning of Life is the wrong project. I will argue that a science of phenomenal consciousness is wrong for exactly the same reason: neither is amenable to the third-person perspective science requires." by @profdata.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2606.00226

Consciousness, AI, and the Limits of Scientific Explanation

Science is constitutively third-personal: its findings are in principle reproducible by any observer, independent of perspective, and answerable to measurement. This is the source of its power and als...

Open postdoc position👈 We have an open position, starting early 2026, to work on an exciting project aiming at better understanding the role of thalamo-cortical brain oscillations in perception with a comparative, cross-species (animal-human) component based on electrophysiology (incl. scalp EEG).

Quantifying rhythmic and arrhythmic brain activity is a hot 🥵 topic. But how independent are the two components from one another? 🤔 In my latest work with @smfleming.bsky.social & @matlandry.bsky.social, I explore the relationship between the two. (1/4)

Quantifying Rhythmic and Arrhythmic Components of Brain Activity

Brain activity comprises both rhythmic (periodic) and arrhythmic (aperiodic) components. These signal elements vary across healthy aging, and disease, and may make distinct contributions to conscious ...

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇

Interoceptive Ability is Unrelated to Mental Health Symptoms: Evidence From a Large Scale Multi-Domain Psychophysical Investigation

Interoception-the sensing and perception of the internal viscera-is widely cast as a transdiagnostic mechanism linking brain-body interaction to mental illness. Prevailing models propose that altered ...

Hello again Bluesky - very glad to see people moving over here! If anyone works on / wants to connect on work related to analyzing / interpreting neuro-ephys signals - specparam / aperiodic / oscillation stuff, etc - drop a comment or msg and I'll follow back!

Following the trend, here's a starter pack of EEG researchers: go.bsky.app/H2URVjv. Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed. The list is very partial and still needs to be expanded, but I hope you find it helpful! 🧠 #EEG #neuroscience #neuroskyence
