New paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci! 🧠 Using #EEG and a #somatosensory roving paradigm, we show that stimulus history shapes anticipatory brain activity before sensory input, suggesting #predictive processes can be observed before, not just after, sensory events. #MMN #Neuroskyence

Does stimulus preceding negativity reflect predictions in a somatosensory roving paradigm?

The mismatch negativity (MMN) has since decades become one of the most prominent phenomena in cognitive neuroscience, recognised as a brain response indexing automatic change-detection. While substant...

New today in @Nature: your visual cortex contains touch-based body maps. bit.ly/VisualBodyMaps Your brain transforms what you see into first-person, body-referenced codes: A previously unknown bridge between vision and touch.

A first review on the #somatosensory MMN—the brain’s surprise signal for #touch. We outline how S1/S2 track probabilities, generate mismatch responses, and that sMMN appears altered across disorders and aging. A window into how the brain learns from #predictive touch. #neuroskyence #neuroscience

The Somatosensory Mismatch Negativity

The somatosensory mismatch negativity (sMMN) is a neural signature of automatic deviance detection, reflecting predictive processing in touch. This review synthesizes human, animal, and computational...

Happy to share our new #decoding study! We show that representations of vibrotactile #WorkingMemory content evolve from #somatosensory to parietal areas. Decoding from left SPL was linked to WM performance — suggesting a key role in maintaining #tactile information.

Decoding tactile working memory content reveals performance relevance of parietal fMRI activity patterns

Working memory (WM) supports a range of higher order cognitive functions by enabling the short-term maintenance and manipulation of information throug…

2/3 Our symposium on multisensory #WorkingMemory was a lot of fun! Thank you @yichen-yuan.bsky.social @grundei.bsky.social @scannedfruits.bsky.social & Dominic Guitard for your fantastic talks!

Had a great time at #escop25 in Sheffield! Thank you for organising the symposium on multisensory working memory @lauraklatt.bsky.social

In this review/primer written by the talented @gutlin.bsky.social and @hannahmcdermott.bsky.social we introduce a range of computational methods useful for studying neural activity in schizophrenia 🧠 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
