Every time they played “Nine to Five” on the radio this week it turned into an unstable earworm that kept slipping into the adjacent attractor in music-space for “Heart of Glass”. But now I just learned that Dolly Parton did a *cover* of “Heart of Glass” in 2023 featuring Debbie Harry …

Okay I read a lot of papers about voluntary attention and that's the wildest title I've read for a while 😵 Gonna block out some time and get my teeth into this ASAP. Looking forward to it!
Liron Rozenkrantz@lironrozenkrantz.bsky.social · 2w ago🔥🔥New paper alert! Super excited to share our paper, out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com, led by the wonderful Dr. Nofar Mizrachi! nature.com/articles/s41... To me, this finding fundamentally changes how we should think about the relationship between cognition and immune regulation:
This has always bugged me. One in every nine humans is left-handed and we cogneuro folks just seem deeply incurious about whether and how that matters for functional brain organisation. Bravo to these authors, and interesting to see that in their specific case there aren't relevant differences.
Brock Kirwan@brockkirwan.com · 3w agoIn honor of International Left-Handers Day, we have an updated preprint on scanning left-handed participants in fMRI studies. Although they're 11% of the population, we routinely screen LH people out of fMRI studies due to concerns about functional lateralization 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Tech friend who is not from the UK: So, how do you pronounce your new name? It is Charlotte like 'Charm'? Or Charlotte like... uhm... SHA-256? Me: The second one. SHA-let Reese. Yup, I am now Small Hash Algorithm Reese.
knock knock, it's the 90s. What software should I use for a simple listserv, ideally avoiding Big Tech?
Another day, another opportunity to see @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social winning cool stuff. You rock 💪
Nadine Dijkstra@nadinedijkstra.bsky.social · 3mo agoFeeling incredibly honored to receive the William James Prize from the @theassc.bsky.social for our paper on how the brain distinguishes imagery and perception!

Hi bsky! Just a question: Can mosquito bites (in Southern Europe) cause itch in a radius of like.. 15-20cm around the bites? I've never had this before... Should I be at the doctor's? 😅
I have a joke about scientific publishing but I'm not allowed to share it with you.

A Movement-Independent Signature of Urgency During Human Perceptual Decision Making - PubMed
How does the brain adjust its decision processes to ensure timely decision completion? Computational modelling and electrophysiological investigations have pointed to dynamic 'urgency' processes that serve to progressively reduce the quantity of evidence required to reach choice commitment as time e …

Thoughts and prayers to anyone else trying to combine full-time childcare with full-time work this week (school holidays in a lot of the UK). I'm only doing it for half the week (co-parent will do the other half) but it's gruelling.
hello friends! does anyone know of open data of an RL task (single- mult-armed bandit tasks) that also list (a variable) ITI per trial in humans? #computationalcognitivescience #computationalpsychiatry
Really cool attempt to link together multiple neuromodulation methods (DBS, TMS, TUS) to understand the neural basis of Parkinson's disease.
