Hey NOS, dit kan beter: “Dat heeft volgens wetenschappers te maken met [..] klimaatverandering”. Jullie framen het alsof het een mening/interpretatie is. “Volgens wetenschappers” kan je ook weglaten en dit presenteren als een feit, wat het ook is.

To my complete surprise, our Nature Reviews Neuroscience review on the Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Inhibitory Control of Thought has landed on the cover! Cover art below! For an "explainer thread", see earlier tweet. bsky.app/profile/memo...

Trying to match 3 sets of MNI coordinates with the nearest elektrode in a 10-10 configuration. Based on doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... seems to align more with AF4 (compared to F4), but there might be better ways to figure this out. Recommendations are appreciated!

Brain mechanisms underlying the inhibitory control of thought - Nature Reviews Neuroscience The capacity to prevent unwanted thoughts is important for cognitive function and mental health. Anderson et al. describe insights into the neural mechanisms of the inhibitory control of thought that ...

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with Subbu Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia www.nature.com/articles/s41... that integrates 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this vital function.@mrccbu.bsky.social sky.social #neuroskyence #neuroscience

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊

Cool stuff! Can’t wait to read the full paper next week!

Against Language Barriers: A Call to Protect International Education in Dutch Academia

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology

Ook in Tilburg verdwijnt de Engelse bachelor psychologie! Is de Randstad inmiddels zover gegroeid dat Tilburg erbij hoort? 😌

I had a joke about Mnemosyne, but… forgot the punchline and now it’s lost to time.

Vergeet de CU niet! Eppo’s voormalige partij 🥲

A thousand times yes. The question here is: when will universities follow suit? Five years, ten years, if ever.

En het lijkt me ook dat kleinere partijen versplintert worden over de provincies dus wat dat betreft is aantal zetels dan niet meer evenredig aan het aantal stemmen (met alle gevolgen voor die partijen)

Overigens riekt dit plan heel erg naar DEI niet echt passend bij dit kabinet 😜

Wow 🤯

New paper! 📯 A multi-lab replication (6 sites, 4 countries) found Tetris reduced immediate but not later daily intrusions. Caution is needed before clinical use—further research is required to assess its effectiveness for intrusive memories.

We are excited to announce the 2026 APS Annual Convention will be held in beautiful Barcelona, Spain!

Stay tuned for information about submissions - coming soon.

Hear hear! My impression is that most researchers do the best they can. They may sometimes forget something or make a mistake but I doubt it’s often with bad intentions.

Eleanor Maguire, who died 4 January at age 54, pioneered the famous London taxi-driver study and naturalistic approaches for studying spatial and episodic memory in people.

Congrats! A cool follow-up could be to see how quickly memory control recovers after a full night of sleep deprivation.

I believe, only very briefly when you lectured at Zangwill club in Cambridge (or maybe I imagined that?). I was doing my postdoc there (before the world went topsy-turvy in 2020), but another hi wouldn’t hurt anyone!

Anyone going to Psychonomic Society's 65th annual meeting in NYC in two weeks? 🧠

If so, always happy to meet up for a drink and talk science (or non-science). Just shoot me a message or hit me up at the conference! 😀

This one is only for the Dutchies. 🙈

Samen met de Universiteit van Nederland heb ik een korte explainer gemaakt over waarom oogbewegingen in EMDR werken. 👀🧠 Super leuk om voor een breed publiek over wetenschap te mogen vertellen! 🎓

Six years ago, on this day I defended my dissertation. It makes my heart glow every time I think back 💙

Nobody:
Obligatory Clinical Good Practice course: please answer these super jargony questions. Got them all wrong? No worries, we’ll explain all jargon in two hours in chapter 28.

In a new paper, we examined 11 interventions to address #climatechange beliefs and behavior (M = 59,440 in 63 countries).

These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors.
