📢 We're hiring a Research Assistant in cognitive neuroscience & computational psychiatry! 📢

Join us at UCL to conduct an MEG study of reward & memory, exploring how brain signals link to variability in apathy and anhedonia.

🔗 apply from next week: lmdlab.github.io

🚨closes September 12th!

Naturalistic Neuroscience day at #MEGUKI2025 🧠🌿. Excited to hear about the ways in which MEG and wearable sensors can tell us something about the brain in the real world! @meguki2025.bsky.social

www.researchgate.net/profile/Madh... This one is even more. Well. Weird 😂💀

A room full of people watching a man present at the front.

A purple helmet dotted with lots of small sensors and wires.

We officially launched our new Magnetoencephalography with Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM-MEG) brain scanner last week with a special open day.

OPM-MEG measures tiny magnetic fields generated by the activity of neurons in the brain.

Excited for the OPM-MEG Oxford Launch Day today! @cercamagnetics.bsky.social @oxfordpsychiatry.bsky.social Some exciting talks and an interactive lab demo awaits!! 🧠🧲

Call - Centre de Recerca Matemàtica

🚨 Two PhD positions open in Barcelona!
Work with Diego Vidaurre on machine learning at the intersection of methods, neuroscience, and clinical applications.

Imaging the human hippocampus with optically-pumped magnetoencephalography Optically-pumped (OP) magnetometers allow magnetoencephalography (MEG) to be performed while a participant’s head is unconstrained. To fully leverage this new technology, and in particular its capacit...

Anyone interested in the opportunities of OPM-MEG? Come to our launch day of the Oxford @cercamagnetics.bsky.social system! www.oxcin.ox.ac.uk/events/opm-l.... Talks by @olejensen.bsky.social @mattbrookesmeg.bsky.social and Holly Schofield 🧠🧲

🎺🎺🎺 We will be hosting #MEGUKI2025 this July and hope that lots of you will be able to join us, including for the kick off day focusing on #naturalistic neuroscience.

Last paper from my PhD finally published! We show that when taking another's visual perspective autistic adolescents don't use a social, embodied transformation 🧒🔃 strategy but favour a bottom-up visual 👀 strategy instead.

OK here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for! Our advert for 5 posts here at Glasgow: Cognitive neuroscience/psychology. Closing date May 12 - please spread the word

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Britta U. Westner, Floris P. de Lange, et al:

Typical neural adaptation for familiar images in autistic adolescents

Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks

And my dance moves are still as lame 6 years later.

Well done @goneill.bsky.social - awesome data with many, many applications for future naturalistic experiments with neurotech 👏🧠📷📹

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

We have an opening for a 12 month Research Assistant post, funded by an ERC grant. The postholder would help with several neuroimaging projects, including MEG and 7T fMRI. Please repost and share with anyone who may be interested. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging

I think you need to be careful about the application of the spatial projector given it's a temporal method too. Updating the balancing weights in MNE won't be trivial

** Reminder: Deadline approaching **
Come join our team! One more week to apply for our MEG researcher position. Applications are due on January 15. 🗓️

Eleanor Maguire | 1970 - 2025 | Online-Tribute.com Learning and memory are so fundamental to us, so enmeshed throughout cognition, that ‘solving’ memory, unpacking its neural mechanisms and being able to conceptualise it fully will, I believe, res…

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly.

I was lucky enough to be part of Eleanor's lab 2020-2024. Eleanor possessed a towering work ethic, immense clarity of thought and always had a witty turn of phrase. She truly cared about the members of her lab and I will be forever grateful for her mentorship.

Looking forward to getting the Oxford OPM system fully functional in 2025! 🧠 @cercamagnetics.bsky.social @oxneuro.bsky.social

Hey! Good to hear from you Harrison :) They've replaced the ribbon cables with some thinner, lower noise cables. Email me about osl and OPMs! I'm putting together a pipeline at the moment 😊

Made the move over 👋. Hey Bluesky!

Excited to be in Toronto for @CNSmtg #CNS2024! Will be presenting our poster on combining OPMs and naturalistic virtual reality to study autobiographical memory on Sunday 5-7pm. Come say hi 👋 🧠

Pre-stimulus alpha oscillations encode stimulus-specific visual predictions bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Super excited to share the very first preprint from my PhD: Pre-stimulus alpha oscillations encode stimulus-specific visual predictions. [1/8] #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #compneurosky biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

That's the vibe we're going for! 😁

OPMs are going social! First two person data looking promising 🤞

The first MEG data I ever collected was on that scanner!! 😭

Where is that - Fountains Abbey??

👋 Didn't catch you at MEGUKI but hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks Micah, hope you're good!
