I've got a fully-funded PhD studentship open at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social, investigating social learning about metacognition & awareness, w/ behavioural studies & neuroimaging (fMRI) - thanks to @leverhulme.ac.uk More details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPV831/p... #cogsci #neuroskyence

Are you curious about electrogastrography, but keep getting chicken-related results when googling "EGG"? We have the preprint for you! In this tutorial, we describe how to acquire and analyse gastric data from human participants. Plus FREE software! Read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2509.17260

To be fair to the Bold signal, I was also past my best after 35 years

🚨🧠🚨 POSTDOC POSITION 🚨🧠🚨 in my lab: www.ru.nl/en/working-a... Connectivity in Working Memory. Deadline 12 Nov! Apply via website; please repost.

Excited to see how this develops www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@Veronicabreira @jonstoneneuro @AlanCarson15 report on a novel digital self-help functional cognitive disorder intervention. The CBT–based programme led to symptom improvement in 62% of participants and boosted quality of life and more. Read at buff.ly/jD4JbCF

Brain Communications welcomes applications for the next editor in chief 🤓. Please find further details here buff.ly/TI1o606 😃 #editorinchief #applications #recruiting

New paper with @nathanieldaw.bsky.social in Nature Communications: an RL model that builds a successor map compositionally. The new model plans as well as the best models, and it links components of the map used for planning to neural codes in the medial entorhinal cortex. rdcu.be/eAofi

📢 Job announcement: Two (!) 3-year postdoc jobs in our lab at UCL 📢 🧠💫🔊 We are looking for postdocs interested in the abstract mechanisms underlying social cognition. Modelling, fMRI and non-invasive ultrasound, a new deep-brain stimulation method. Please RT www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

If anyone fancies moving to NZ, the @universityofotago.bsky.social are advertising for up to SIX faculty positions in their School of Psychology 👀 www.seek.co.nz/psychology-j...

This study shows that deep 🧠 stimulation of the nucleus accumbens selectively enhances long-term memory encoding in 🐀 without affecting recall, working memory, motor function, or stress behaviors www.nature.com/artic...

interesting work from Paul @paulmasset.bsky.social and @naoshigeuchida.bsky.social see the commentary: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

new preprint - do you use #fnirs to study cognition? do you want to learn how to design better studies? our primer aims to get you started on using #fnirs for real-world #cognitive #neuroscience osf.io/preprints/ps...

This was such a fun Research Highlights piece to write for @npp-journal.bsky.social! I basically got to 👏 the impressive 🧲 🧠 work of @npetersen.bsky.social 🤩 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Vascular health has an impact on brain health New Editorial in this month's Brain: tinyurl.com/3xdu562p

Kazazian et al. review the use of neuroimaging in disorders of consciousness, detailing key methods (fMRI, EEG, PET) and imaging paradigms that can be used to improve diagnosis and prognosis. tinyurl.com/57tme2fc

Are you looking for a new job? The University of Bristol is looking for you! There are two open Lecturer (Assistant Professor) positions: Social Psychology: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMJ511/l... More general, but with preference for mental health, wellbeing, and/or PPI: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMJ582/l...

Clinical research in the UK is under threat, partly because it takes so long to get a study or trial approved. Here are some of my suggested solutions in this BMJ Opinion piece @nihr.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social @ukri.org www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

🚨🚨New paper day!🚨🚨 Fantastic new study led by Dr Martin Osugo of Prof. Oliver Howes group at Kings college: "Striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor regulation of human reward processing and behaviour" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Will we choose to – divide et impera – divide and conquer, or will we continue to clump all cases of Parkinson's? Substantia nigra and locus coeruleus are early brain regions affected by PD? These regions are important to learning and cognitive (thinking) functions, but in very different ways.

Great fun this week at BRIC Plymouth @bricplymouth.bsky.social as we begin collecting data on a combined fMRI/EEG/Theta-burst study of pre-SMA contributions to inhibitory processing with our MSc Human Neuroscience students. #neuroskyance #neuroscience #neuropsychology #brain #neuroimaging

Congratulations to Elsa and her team @bricplymouth.bsky.social for securing funding to do groundbreaking focused transcranial ultrasound.

If you use BOLD based fMRI in your research, take a moment to wish Seiji Ogawa a happy 91st birthday on Sunday, Jan 19th. His research launched thousands of careers and provided an invaluable to look inside our brains.

Three psychology lecturer jobs at the University of Bath, UK. Closing date: 19th January Especially seeking researchers in the areas of: - Addiction - Autism - Artificial Intelligence - Environmental Psych - Pain Psych - Youth Mental Health #PsychJobs #Psychology #UKHE #AcademicSky #PhDSky

I would like to share new work that focusses on non-invasive manipulations of (noradrenergic) arousal during human cognitive behavior.

Do we ever get used to disgust? Work in a care home for long enough, and you just might! Healthcare assistants show no disgust avoidance for care-related stimuli, and this habituation even generalises to unrelated yuck. Paper in @plos.bsky.social here: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #psychology #disgust

Useful reading list on neurodiversity from @iammirela.bsky.social and colleagues elifesciences.org/articles/102...

Pigeons navigate along idiosyncratic routes that improve between generations. Cumulative cultural evolution? This study shows that the same cumulative route improvements spontaneously emerge in simple artificial agents. Paper in @plosbiology.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1371/jour... (1/4; video at end!)
