New study reveals why time seems to move faster the older we get A new study hints that age-related changes in our brains may explain why time feels like it's slipping away faster with every passing year.

Time seems to speed up as we get older - is that partly due to events/neural states lasting longer?

Autistic and non-autistic prosocial decision-making: The impact of recipient neurotype A body of research suggests cross-neurotype interpersonal interactions may be more challenging, and non-autistic individuals show less interest in int…

Very happy to see this published! Registered report led by the fantastic Sophie Sowden-Carvalho (and with @thepsychologist.bsky.social & @brainapps.bsky.social) looking at effort-based prosocial decision-making in autistic and non-autistic adults. tinyurl.com/3upvukt2

Back @brocku.ca for a view days to work on a project related to our recent publication on how neural states change with age during naturalistic viewing: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

In our new study we look at eye movements during movie-watching and whether it relates to memory for the movie.

Temporal dedifferentiation of neural states with age during naturalistic viewing - Communications Biology Movie fMRI data reveals age-related lengthening of neural states in visual and prefrontal regions, reflecting reduced temporal differentiation while preserved alignment with perceived events suggests stable coarse event segmentation.

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next.

New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky

Current fatigue shapes future motivation.

Talking at the poster session about how momentarily fluctuations in fatigue influence willingness to exert effort for reward in the future.

Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics.
