Our paper "Neural timescales from a computational perspective" is finally out in @natneuro.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We discuss how computational models and methods can distill empirical observations on neural timescales into quantitative, testable theories of brain computation.

Neural timescales from a computational perspective - Nature Neuroscience

This review integrates computational approaches to provide a unified view on how data analysis methods, biophysical mechanistic models and machine learning approaches can help to uncover the origins a...

Wow, that went fast! The PhD position is already filled - still accepting applications for the postdoc position! Feeling sorry for all the really promising candidates we had to turn down - the quality of applications has been unusually high in this round!

Als Wolfram Weimer im Mai 2025 Kulturstaatsminister wurde, waren die Befürchtungen groß. Zu groß, sagten manche. "Lasst ihn doch erstmal ankommen, gebt ihm eine Chance." Zehn Monate später lässt sich sagen: Er hat die schlimmsten Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Er hat sie übertroffen. Ein Thread. 🧵

Amazing work. And ouch, a heavy blow to one of my favourite literature "classics".

Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts? Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze. Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social

Early heads-up: There will be one postdoc and one PhD position in the field of learning/decision making open in my lab from Sept 2026. More information to follow soon, but feel free to already get in touch for informal inquiries! Please spread the word!

Reporting today as a freshly-minted #MSCA fellow - I will be joining the @epanlab.bsky.social at the @dondersinst.bsky.social 🤩 Over the moon, but also thinking about all the excellent proposals who were not awarded funding in this brutal round - feels more like a lottery than ever.

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

1/4 New paper in @pnas.org! How does stress affect our social decisions in conflict? More aggression (fight-or-flight)? Or more altruism (tend-and-befriend)? Our new study suggests: it’s not either/or, stress promotes both at once, depending on the neurochemical balance and the social context. 🧠
