🧠 Postdoc Researcher in Neuroscience/Sport Science Join an interdisciplinary project investigating how moderate hypoxia affects brain function, using EEG, fNIRS, TMS & behavioural measures. 📍 Lille 📅 12.5 months ⏰ 25 October 2026 Details & application: recrutement.univ-littoral.fr/post-doctora...

6/7 This work was not possible without the amazing collaboration of co-authors @layerfmri.bsky.social @drjacek.bsky.social Eléonore Giraudet @remigau.bsky.social Marc Van Baelen and the continuous supervision of @olicolli.bsky.social , and last but not least all the participants.

Explaining cultural variation in perception. Perceptual niche construction as an ecocultural view of perceptual plasticity. Happy to see this article published! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Culture in psychology and neuroscience: Concepts, relevance, and empirical evidence in rhythm perception

Perceptual systems adapt through individual experience across the lifespan, an ability referred to as plasticity. To understand perceptual plasticity,…

Intracerebral recordings in humans reveal emergence of musical beat representation across the dorsal auditory pathway Outstanding work from @tomaslenc.bsky.social, with Bruno Rossion and collaborators from CHU Nancy. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Feedback welcome #MusicScience #iEEG #neuroscience

New preprint from the Rhythm and Brains Lab, with Flora Rosenzweig, @tomaslenc.bsky.social, Cédric Lenoir! How stimulus envelope, esp. duty cycle (sonic duration/inter-onset duration ratio), impacts neural processing of musical beat osf.io/preprints/ps... Feedback welcome #MusicScience #EEG #cogsci

New publication from the Rhythm and Brains Lab, and great research by Emmanuel Coulon, with colleagues Sacha Baum, Tomas Lenc and Rainer Polak. Using EEG, we show that pattern repetition sharpens neural activity to the musical beat. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our new research in The Journal of Neuroscience, comparing brain processing of the beat across the senses: audio rhythm elicits slow brainwaves that represent the beat to a greater extent than tactile rhythm #perception #neuroscience #rhythm #sensory

Excited to share our new research revealing automatic categorization of rhythm in human brain activity! Led by @francescabarbero.bsky.social, @tomaslenc.bsky.social and the Rhythm and Brains Lab, in collaboration with @norijacoby.bsky.social, Rainer Polak and @manuelvarlet.bsky.social
