This kind of stuff is why I say that I worry that the tools of neuroscience are not properly vetted

short sighted at best....NHP research has been instrumental in the development of new treatments for human conditions (as well as other animals conditions/diseases as well).

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026.

The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social.

Distinct alpha networks modulate different aspects of perceptual decision-making Fluctuations in alpha-band neural oscillations influence whether we perceive faint stimuli, but how these oscillations relate to different perceptual processes is not clear. This study shows that alph...

Do ongoing alpha activity fluctuations influence perceptual sensitivity or criterion?

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com

yes, I admit that it's complicated, and I try not to judge colleagues based on their individual choices. (but I may or may not have private opinions ;-) )

but it's not your fault if 'good colleagues' have made a bad choice, right? if they're truly 'good' then at some point they'll see their choice to sign onto the old NeuroImage is problematic and will distance themselves from it.

"We hope to inspire curiosity ... prompting researchers to uncover why children experience the world so distinctively and what this reveals about cognitive development."

@jocn.bsky.social's November issue presents a special focus on the development of event segmentation: #NeuroSky #cognition

Spatial attention and working memory are popularly thought to be tightly coupled. Yet, distinct neural activity tracks attentional breadth and WM load.

In a new paper @jocn.bsky.social, we show that pupil size independently tracks breadth and load.

A big win for @neuromatch.bsky.social and for our students, TAs, and mentors! So proud of the hard work that went into making this happen and grateful to the NIH for their support!

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time!

Out of sight, but not out of mind: How the human brain represents images that are not directly seen
Chair, Rosanne Rademaker

[Aly Lab Logo: schematic of brain in shades of blue with two cut-out seahorses facing each other]. Postdoctoral Position in the Aly Lab at UC Berkeley. We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to work on NSF-funded research examining competition and cooperation in memory-guided attention. The position will be supervised by Dr. Mariam Aly (https://www.alylab.org/) in the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley. Candidates should have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field, and expertise in studies of behavior as well as neuroimaging and/or eye tracking. This is a two-year position with a flexible start date. More details here: https://tinyurl.com/alylabpostdoc

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯

I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼

So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉
