The psychoanalysts were right all along

I'd like to try a Dietmar Hamman Gluhwein

We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG.

Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!

A screenshot of a digital article in The Courier. The headline reads: EXCLUSIVE: "Ex-Dundee University chief Iain Gillespie urged to hand back £150,000 pay-out", with a picture beneath of Iain Gillespie former Principal of University of Dundee in a black suit with a brown tie.

Another blow to staff at Dundee Uni.

They ensured security for those who let this crisis happen, but not for the staff who have been suffering months of uncertainty & the threat of job loss. (🧵1/2)

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Martina Kopčanová, Christian Keitel, et al:

Characterising time-on-task effects on oscillatory and aperiodic EEG components and their co-variation with visual task performance

doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Cover figure presenting main results from the paper. Left: altered spectral power and covariance difference between AD progressers and stable MCI patients. Right: multivariate analysis, highlighting the complementarity of MEG covariance spectra, MRI cortical volumes and baseline control measures.

I just preprinted a little perspective piece / mini review on the history of the study of aperiodic neural activity - arguing there is more out there in literature than one might expect!

Hello again Bluesky - very glad to see people moving over here!

If anyone works on / wants to connect on work related to analyzing / interpreting neuro-ephys signals - specparam / aperiodic / oscillation stuff, etc - drop a comment or msg and I'll follow back!

Following the trend, here's a starter pack of EEG researchers: go.bsky.app/H2URVjv. Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed. The list is very partial and still needs to be expanded, but I hope you find it helpful! 🧠 #EEG #neuroscience #neuroskyence

Are you sure? Would you like another look?

Here we find a double dissociation between the kinds of uncertainty that control information seeking & those that shape subjective feelings of confidence.

Very cool work! Perhaps relevant for why information-seeking is influenced by explicit confidence in some people/groups but not in others: osf.io/preprints/ps...
