Aperiodic EEG Activity Provides a Linear, Bidirectional, and Spatially Uniform Marker of Subjective and Objective Vigilance in Humans, Both Within and Across States Vigilance is increasingly conceived as a continuum, ranging from full alertness to deep sleep. Despite its fundamental role in cognition, behaviour, and health, reliable physiological markers of vigil...

Happy to share the first project of my PhD at #ASSC28, on how voluntary strategies modulate the reading response and how this relates to suggestibility and metacognitive efficiency.

Appreciation to my collaborators, and to @fahrenfort.bsky.social for his support and supervision on this project.

A causal role of the NMDA receptor in recurrent processing during perceptual integration Memantine selectively improves neural decoding of attended illusory contours, revealing NMDA receptor-dependent enhancement of feedback processing in human visual perception.

We show that memantine selectively improves neural decoding of attended illusory Kanizsa triangles, revealing NMDA receptor-dependent enhancement of feedback processing.

Very happy this is finally out 🎉. In this paper, we show that conf. reports are biased by a visual illusion, an asymmetrical base rate and a payoff scheme. Crucially, we show that only the visual illusion affects subj. experience, suggesting decision bias leaks onto confidence reports.

⚠️ Come see our new preprint, in which we (@degeelab.bsky.social, Jasper Zantvoord, @psterzer.bsky.social, @fahrenfort.bsky.social & @svangaal.bsky.social) show that phasic (task-evoked) and tonic (baseline) arousal distinctly shape human decision bias! (1/6)

I am so happy—this is the first 1st author paper I have written, since the cancer diagnosis of my late wife seven years ago.

very excited to be at the ASSC and even more excited to be in tokyo 🗼 #ASSC27

I will be presenting some of my postdoc work tomorrow at 14:45 in the Unconscious Processing session. drop by so I can tell you how we replicate some crucial unconscious processing findings.

What is sleep exactly? Global and local modulations of sleep oscillations all around the clock Wakefulness, non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep differ from each other along three dimensions: behavioral, phenomenologi…

Our review on *Local Sleep* is finally out!

We cover the emerging notion that sleep can be a local brain phenomenon across wakefulness and sleep.
And the consequences for cognition and consciousness.
