The Government is seeking to dramatically erode public right of access to justice via courts by imposing prohibitively expensive costs on those challenging unlawful planning or policy. Today is the last day for making submissions, please have your voice heard. www.antaisce.org/news/all-han...

Interested in how we make preference-driven decisions, and how this is implemented in the brain? We report that neural correlates of evidence accumulation (CPP, Mu/Beta) are also observed during value-based decisions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by @laurencf.bsky.social (Lauren Fong) 1/n

Check out our reviewed preprint, now out in eLife! With @spk3lly.bsky.social, @redmondoconnell.bsky.social and Anna Geuzebroek elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... While we work on improving the [solid] paper based on the reviews, here are the key take-home messages:

Check out our new multisensory decision study! We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two? A1: co-activation A2: two! Read here: rdcu.be/eASYd

New paper from the lab indicates some surprising differences in visual cortical contributions to two popular VEP types. In it, Kieran uses some of his brilliant tricks from last year's paper:

Delighted to share this paper, now published in @arvoinfo.bsky.social. With @spk3lly.bsky.social‬ and Anna Geuzebroek we explored differences in visual cortical responses for pattern pulses and pattern reversals. Here's the link: jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...

Our newest preprint is out (doi.org/10.1101/2025.06.05.658071), with @lucvermeylen.bsky.social,Dasha Monakhovych, Cameron McCabe, Sarah-Louise Mannion, @kobedesender.bsky.social, @redmondoconnell.bsky.social, comparing post-decision confidence models against behaviour and neural decision signals...

Very happy to share this paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com! nature.com/articles/s41... With @spk3lly.bsky.social and @neuromurphy.bsky.social, we investigated the neural computations that allow us to make near-optimal decisions in changing environments. Here's a short summary:

A little temporal integration or leaky evidence accumulation might be all that's needed to explain subjective aspects of stimulus detection like perceived duration or confidence. New comp. modelling preprint from *Ramla Msheik* with Emma Sirouet, @spk3lly.bsky.social and @nfaivre.bsky.social.
