At #MoBI2026 you won't just hear about mobile brain/body imaging — you'll get to try it. 🧠 6 international groups + our BeMoBIL team demo their newest EEG hardware & software live in Berlin, Aug 24 Smartphones, wearables, labs on wheels, even a Hearing Car. 🔗 blogs.tu-berlin.de/bpn_mobi2026

⏳ Early bird registration for the 2026 MoBI Conference closes in just 2 days — don't miss your chance! The 2026 MoBI Conference is coming to Berlin (August 25–28), with an outstanding program for everyone working in neuroscience, mobile brain imaging, and actively behaving humans.

NEW preprint with @stephen-ramanoel.bsky.social and @mobilebrainimaging.bsky.social 🎉 In this final study of my PhD, we combined immersive virtual reality with mobile EEG and gait analysis during a path integration task, recording from 30 young and 32 older adults www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

⚠️New review straight out of the oven! "Spatial navigation in preclinical Alzheimer's disease: A review" arxiv.org/abs/2603.23082 We focus on spatial navigation as a sensitive cognitive marker in preclinical AD, compiling evidence from cognitively unimpaired individuals with positive AD biomarkers.

My first-author review ‘Determinants of individual navigation ability’ is out in Nature Reviews Psychology, co-authored with the inspiring @hugospiers.bsky.social!!!! 🎉🧠 ➡️ rdcu.be/e7KxG #Neuroscience #Navigation @nature.com @natrevpsychol.nature.com @sfn.org @fens.org @ucl.ac.uk

My comments on the impact of GPS on our brains. Not all bad, but the consequences can be bad, as in the case of this amazon delivery driver! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How do people end up following their satnavs into danger?

The experts have their say after an Amazon delivery driver got stuck in mudflats this week.

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative. It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇 www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...

In the bizarro world of academic journals, the rights of the author are sacrosanct and the integrity of the scientific record is someone else's problem. A paper's validity depends on emails sent 2 months later. Datasets are interchangeable. The overall conclusions of the study are not affected.
