👁️🧠🧪 Vision takes time. But how does visual information flow through the human brain? Our new PLOS Computational Biology paper uses population receptive field (pRF) modelling to bring the spatial precision of fMRI to MEG, revealing the temporal dynamics of visual areas. 📖 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Non-invasive mapping of the temporal processing hierarchy in the human visual cortex

Author summary Vision doesn’t happen instantaneously, but unfolds over time. While we understand a lot about how the brain processes visual space, understanding how the brain processes information ove...

My first TEDx talk just came out. It's always fun to talk about your own research area to the general audience, and its even more fun when you are lucky enough to be supported by such a platform. Happy to hear your thoughts :-) youtu.be/UyUclyHx8d8?...

Looking forward to seeing everyone again at NVP (@brain-cognition-nl.bsky.social) today. The CAP-Lab is well represented, with 4 posters and 4 talks. (Also, check the CAP-Lab website, www.cap-lab.net, for a number of recent publications.) Ending the year with a BANG. See you all there 💜

Our team's new publications cover the Nature portfolio! 🧪🧠 - Vision & touch (Nature, rdcu.be/eSsZR) - Psychedelics (Nat Commun, rdcu.be/eSsZ2) - Binocular rivalry (Nat Hum Behav, rdcu.be/eSsYW) - CSF mobility (Nat Neurosci, rdcu.be/eSs0c) - Numerical cognition (Commun Biol, rdcu.be/eSs0p)

Excited to share that my first article is now published in Communications Biology! Humans and many animals have an innate ability to rapidly perceive numerosity—the number of objects in a visual scene. But how does our brain process this fundamental capability? Read the full paper: rdcu.be/eRxMi

Numerosity adaptation suppresses early visual responses

It's excited to share my first Article paper to you.

Communications Biology@commsbio.nature.com · 11mo ago

Numerosity adaptation suppresses monotonic neural responses to numerosity displays in the early visual cortex, with more suppression for higher numerosity adaptors. Therefore, numerosity adaptation effects begin in early sensory stages of processing. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Welcome to drop by my #CCN poster B54 this afternoon

Looking forward to @compcogneuro.bsky.social's #CCN2025, which takes place in my backyard this year. If you are there as well, hook me up for a chat, and go and visit @lassedietz.bsky.social, @liangyouzhang.bsky.social, and @arora-borealis.bsky.social's posters on Tue/Wed/Fri. [1/2]

I had loads of fun today, sharing thoughts and projects during a joint lab-meeting with @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social's Imagine Reality Lab. Two hours were way too short to discuss all the cool projects! Thanks everyone for your contributions 💜

Preparing overt eye movements and directing covert attention are neurally coupled. Yet, this coupling breaks down at the single-cell level. What about populations of neurons? We show: EEG decoding dissociates preparatory overt from covert attention at the population level: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

There is a fully funded PhD position at the Donders Institute (Netherlands) on the neuroscience of imagery and perception. I can really recommend working with @peelen.bsky.social (I did a 4y postdoc there). He is one of those annoyingly smart and dedicated researchers, and is real fun to work with!

Marco Gandolfo@marco-gandolfo.bsky.social · 2y ago

A PhD position is open in @peelen.bsky.social Lab at the Donders Institute - please spread the word and consider applying if you are interested about how imagery and perception relate to each other www.ru.nl/en/working-a... - plus we are fun people to work with ! :)

Together with the Netherlands eScience Center (@esciencecenter.bsky.social) and led by Tomas Knapen (@tknapen.bsky.social), we're redesigning and developing a open-source, validated pRF software package to drive innovations in psychology and neuroscience! www.esciencecenter.nl/news/escienc...
