Honestly, not really. There are so few international studentships about, at least at my institution, that they have to be absolutely stellar to be in with a chance. That said, other unis might still have them, and the best way of finding out is still to contact potential supervisors to find out

Yikes, scary that this needs to be said explicitly but definitely a good point

Note: Unfortunately funding for international students is currently terrible, so if you are an international student you'd need to have a good idea of funding mechanisms already. I know, it sucks.

If you're interested in the cognitive neuroscience of memory feel free to email me!

I do experimental psychology, brain imaging (fMRI and MEG) and a bit of modelling. Lab is doing stuff on forgetting, aging, schemas, and event boundaries, but we're not limited to that.

It's that time of year when many start thinking about applying for PhDs. If you're applying for a UK PhD position, here is a blog post I wrote a while back that might be helpful

Why I left academia and neuroscience Don't worry, this isn't yet another story of rage-quitting.

Happy to chat to interested applicants.

Thanks! In this case all reviewers from first round were very nice and provided useful comments (and I'm not just saying that because this is a public forum...)

Paper resubmission day 🎉

My voyage to explore how Marshallese sailors find their way at sea without technology Scientists have been exploring the role that neuroscience plays in ocean navigation.

Lovely article in @uk.theconversation.com by Maria Ahmad who is doing her PhD research supported by @leverhulme.ac.uk in my lab on oceanic navigation in the Marshall Islands.

This is her coverage of our voyage to Aur atoll this summer:

Good for fish and chips before you get to Whitby for more fish and chips

I'm just reeling from the fact you specifically name-dropped the scrap box. Putting Dunnington on the map!

Classic UK Sunday train journey, although only 1 hour late in the end so not as bad as it could have been

It's been a while since I've had to sit on the floor of the train that is absolutely rammed because of an earlier train cancellation. Best get as comfy as possible for 2 hours of no proper seat

Chris Sutton?

So happy to share our paper on the role of the hippocampus as a mismatch detector:
doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

We show that the hippocampus detects mismatches between ongoing experiences and episodic memories but not generalised schematic knowledge.

Great day at Bristol yesterday. Interesting questions after my talk that require more thought from me, which is exactly what you want as a speaker. Thanks again for hosting @dalmaijer.bsky.social and I'll start my Mario Kart training so I can get you next time!

Back by popular demand: supplemental material. https://www.jneurosci.org/content/information-authors#suppl

Thanks for coming!

I thought I was going to get you on that last race, but I know when to admit that I was beaten by my better. More practice needed!

Love the lab reactions to relatively low-key messages on Slack sometimes

McGill University in early Autumn

Delighted to share that we are currently hiring for a tenure-track position (open rank) in Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology at McGill University. Come join a great department! Link to apply: mcgill.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/mcgill....

Sounds exciting, congrats and best of luck!

Looking forward to visiting @bristoluni.bsky.social School of Psychological Science tomorrow and presenting some of our work on memory, forgetting and consolidation. Big thanks to @dalmaijer.bsky.social for the invite!

This looks super useful!

8x8 grid depicting the approach to stimulus creation. Feature pairs are on the axes and images are in the cells. The x-axis represents the high-level feature pairs: setting (green) and object (teal). For example, the first column of images all depict “truck” (object) in “field” (setting) rendered in various textures and patterns. The y-axis represents low-level feature pairs: texture (blue) and pattern (purple). For example, the first row of images all depict different objects and settings rendered as if drawn with crayon (texture) and containing large horizontal edges (pattern).

Excited to release the SPOT grid: a new image set that factorially crosses scene-object & texture-pattern pairings.

We hope these stimuli will be useful to researchers aiming to (partially) disentangle the contributions of lower- and higher-level visual features to behavior & brain activity.
