Implications of recursive Bayesian Sensory Inference https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.30.696730v1

Processes and measurements: a framework for understanding neural oscillations in field potentials Various neuroscientific theories maintain that brain oscillations are important for neuronal computation, but opposing views claim that these macroscale dynamics are ‘exhaust fumes’ of more relevant p...

You guys might be interested in this paper. Ephaptic coupling is not the only way oscillatons have a role in cognition.

Chaos is coming for scholarly publishing - Research Professional News Buckling of commercial models alongside maturing of community-led efforts promises major shifts, says Caroline Edwards

" 60 per cent of UK university libraries are considering dropping their big deals with the five major academic publisher"
Many call for diamond open access. A new organisation with many partners, @ojcollective.bsky.social , is launching in January.

What happens in the brain when we manipulate our thoughts?

We asked 30 epilepsy patients to mentally invert short melodies.

Intracerebral #iEEG recordings suggest brain synchrony and sensory inhibition are key for mental manipulation:

Excellent work by @dquiroga.bsky.social!
Happy to be part of this great collaboration exploring how the brain manipulates thoughts through music 🎶

#Neuroscience #MusicScience #CognitiveNeuroscience #iEEG

thank you!

I actually think this is quite enough, especially for only 2 years. Better investment of everyone's time.

I see this rhythm also very prominently in working memory / imagery for musical sounds. Also, very strong in STG. I would call it alpha too!

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis CAIRO—As part of a historic ceasefire agreement with Hamas following two years of war, the Israeli government reportedly agreed Thursday to go back to killing Palestinians on a less frequent basis. “I...

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Glad to see this out! Congrats to you, Anas and coauthors.

Ever slam on the brakes after seeing a speed trap? Or better yet, slow down ahead in anticipation?

In our new paper w/ @anask07.bsky.social in @cp-iscience.bsky.social, we use #iEEG to study the neural basis of reactive and proactive control in medial and lateral PFC.

Randolph is fantastic, and this will be an incredible opportunity to work on cutting edge science! Definitely consider applying

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

"A literature which is made by machines, which are owned by corporations, which are run by sociopaths, can only be a “stereotype” — a simplification, a facsimile, an insult, a fake — of real literature. It should be smashed, and can." -- @nplusonemag.com 🙏🏽

An insightful & enjoyable conversation with computational cognitive scientists Dr @olivia.science & Prof @irisvanrooij.bsky.social about their paper 'Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia'

Give it a listen❗
Share this & the paper w university leadership & administrators❗

🤔How does the human brain predict unexpected sounds?
Our new study shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as a single unit. Instead, the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex make distinct, time-sensitive contributions. #iEEG #BrainLesion #OFC #LPFC

I've reviewed for @elife.bsky.social and liked the experience. However, they still charge APCs, and have a confusing way of defining paper acceptance.

The examples above are diamond open acces which is what we should strive for IMO.
