What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex? Our research published in @Nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4 nature.com/articles/s4158…
🚨New laminar MEG toolkit🚨I'm so happy to be at @biomag2024 to announce the release of laMEG, an easy-to-install implementation of the simulations and analyses from our laminar MEG papers github.com/danclab/laMEG AND if you wish you could use SPM from python, keep reading👇🧵
🎁We've long known that decisions can be biased by normatively irrelevant factors. But how do these biases arise in the brain? New Perspective paper with @k_tsetsos: osf.io/preprints/psya…
🚀 Opportunity Alert! Are you passionate about #Neuroscience and #PredictiveCoding? 🧠🔍 We invite all neuroscientists to contribute to an open science experiment co-organized by OpenScope @alleninstitute, Michael Berry, Colleen Gillon, @KordingLab , and @CogCompNeuro🤝🌐🧵
A thread about the effects of expectations and attention in perception. Some people say they can't be seperated, some say they do. We tried to contribute with a new method. open-access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
look forward to more exciting results coming out of these datasets 🔥
3 years ago I wouldn't have imagined that our ambitious MEG project with Saskia Haegens @haegenslab @andrea_e_martin @joeyzyzyzy on the beloved α & β oscillations in cued exemplar and feature production would come out so cool! 🧠🗣️🥼 Check out in eNeuro: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38490743/
I’m a postdoc and I don’t think I pass the threshold. Either the gov/political or academic system is broken, or both.

Now it's out in @ScienceAdvances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Using EEG and fMRI data, we found that top-down feedback mediated by cortical alpha dynamics plays a key role in the construction of coherent visual experiences. With Daniel Kaiser and Radek Cichy. @CCNBerlin
Happy to share our new preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Together with Radek Cichy and Daniel Kaiser, we found feedback in the alpha frequency across the visual hierarchy as a key mechanism for integrating spatiotemporally consistent information in natural vision.
Amazing paper! I love Figure 1 where the authors show how changes in the 1/f exponent relate to excitatory pyramidal and inhibitory interneuron cell firing. Fig. 1 J relates E-I balance to excitability and to 1/f. Highly enlightening! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#DondersDefence📣Congrats to @ella_bosch for defending her thesis yesterday!🎉 Ella’s dissertation was about how the #past influences #visual processing in #autism. There are some ideas that this influence is reduced in autism. However, Ella found no evidence for this.

Prediction tendencies play a crucial role in psychiatric disorders and are often implicitly conceptualised as individual traits. Here, we quantified to what extent the individual tendency to anticipate sensory features of high probability generalises across modalities. (1/6)
