Postdoc @jlugiessen — how is cognition realized by the brain? Oscillations aficionado, mind sciences omnivore, hip-hop head
This was fun! youtu.be/myx914hfcic
Neuronal oscillations, exhaust fumes or causally efficacious?? Check this great discussion in the Neuroscience & Philosophy Salon! With @sandervanbree @dlevenstein Matt Krause (@prokraustinator) Richard Gao (@_rdgao) Recording: youtu.be/myx914hfcic
New manuscript published! ✍️👀 Concept neurons evolve from index neurons through overlapping memories. Check it out here: cell.com/trends/cogniti… 1/15
JOB ALERT: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoc position in Osaka, Japan! Possible start in October 2025 (contact me ASAP), or from April 2026. PLEASE REPOST! 1/
We are super happy to announce the fourth edition of School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Come to Warsaw in September for in-depth talks, discussions and workshops that will help you to make sense of your data! The deadline for registration is July 21, 2025.
Despite recent criticism from Quiroga to our claim that Concept Neurons emerge from Conjunctive Coding Neurons we claim: “And yet, the hippocampus codes conjunctively!”. We hope it sparks a smile (and maybe a few debates). Read here: tinyurl.com/3ycv3vj2
How is high-level visual cortex organized? In a new preprint with @martin_hebart & @KathaDobs, we show that category-selective areas encode a rich, multidimensional feature space 🌈 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 1/n
preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? Recently, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇
Info theory offers powerful measures for capturing complexity & interaction among elements of a complex system, like the brain! 🧠 Here's our new unified reference for key info-theoretic time series measures ft. 📊 visuals, ➗equations, & 💬descriptions: arxiv.org/abs/2505.13080
We are #hiring for a fully funded PhD position at TU Dresden. Message me if you're interested in joining our team. I’m attending COSYNE 2025 if you would like to meet! #cosyne2025 #cosyne25
Enjoyed this discussion with @drmichaellevin We discussed scientific explanation, its types, causation, reduction/emergence, & other topics. Great to see the strength of bringing both science and philosophy to the table for hard topics! youtube.com/watch?v=PoY-_G…
JOB ALERT: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoc position in Osaka, Japan! Plus PhD positions for April 2026. PLEASE REPOST! We had to re-start the process after our preferred candidate withdrew. Info 👇.
PLEASE SHARE: apply to my postdoc in Osaka. Comp cogneuro of learning, control, & concept representation. fMRI, cognitive models & deep nets. Initial deadline Oct 18, pls contact me if interested. The deadline will be extended once so don't worry if u need more time.
New preprint! #bioelectricity @SantoshManicka Most recent work on bioelectric control of morphogenesis focuses on spatial patterns of cell membrane voltage (a "particle" approach). However, the godfather of the field, the amazing Harold Burr (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) said…
