Very excited to share that our MEG study is out! We identified two functionally distinct alpha components using ICA, which are differentially modulated by attention and show opposite relationships with task performance. @haegenslab.bsky.social

together with @AnyaDietrich and a great team, we're organizing the Frankfurt hub of this year's 🌱CuttingGardens🌱, a distributed conference on cutting-edge methods for M/EEG data analysis, hosted by CoBIC! Sept 21–25, 2026🧵

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Here’s a thought that might make you tilt your head in curiosity: With every movement of your eyes, head, or body, the visual input to your eyes shifts! Nevertheless, it doesn't feel like the world does suddenly tilts sideways whenever you tilt your head. How can this be? TWEEPRINT ALERT! 🚨🧵 1/n
