In particular, it was a new experience to present work not primarily to get people excited about the ideas in the work, but to raise questions like: can these ideas be tested? Does this approach to doing computational neuroscience make sense? etc. We should perhaps do more of this!

We assembled a sounds dataset we think is a real resource for the whole auditory cognition & neuroscience community. Curated from a huge pool of sounds, plus large-scale verbal-identification & familiarity-rating data → rich sound and behavioral norms. Preprint & dataset links below 🧵

How does the human brain extract abstract structure from experience? We show that sensory-independent relational representations emerge in mPFC over several days. Work with @mgarvert.bsky.social and @behrenstimb.bsky.social now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social: www.cell.com/current-biol...

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

Social intelligence Arises Between Minds

We've built brilliant solitary thinkers. But recent neuroscience results hint that real intelligence emerges between minds, and AI has never been coupled with one.

What aspects of human knowledge do vision models like CLIP fail to capture, and how can we improve them? We suggest models miss key global organization; aligning them makes them more robust.

this week at #PracticalMEEG2025 in Aix! having run an MEG pipeline by trial and error, I was doubting myself between all parameters. lectures on the analysis steps + hands-on application together were very helpful! & seeing women on stage sharing what they're excited about just hits different ⭐️

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

It feels very good to now see this approach also in (neuroscientific) conferences. Having such a great pin always helps too #PracticalMEEG2025

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.
