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

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.

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 πŸ§’πŸ”ƒ strategy but favour a bottom-up visual πŸ‘€ strategy instead.

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

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

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.

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 😊
