How does the perception of our bodily self arise in our experience, and to what extent do we process body ownership information unconsciously? In a new study (preprint), we found body ownership information processing cannot occur without awareness. 0/14👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Bye Eleanor, thanks for the science the discussions...

For all women in science Eleanor Maguire should be an inspiration. Unlike Rosalind Franklin, her contribution was fully appreciated during her lifetime. So it is fitting that in 2008 she was awarded the Rosalind Franklin medal by the Royal Society. #neuroscience #psychology

New paper from the Lab led by @evanlhealey.bsky.social in collaboration with coculab Argentina where we track brain dynamics as DMT psychedelic experiences unfolds. We show diverse and complex brain signatures intimately related to intensity, anxiety, temporarily, imagery, bliss.

Are you based in London? We are recruiting participants for our study. We need to test 400 people so would appreciate sharing. Thank you!

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm. And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight www.euronews.com/travel/2024/...

The unbearable slowness of being: Humans still clock in at just 10 bits/s. Even after peer review :) Share link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kHVa3BtfH.... ArXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2408.10234

It looks even better once it's typeset for Imaging #Neuroscience 😎 Come take your single trial #ERP : It only costs you an #EEG or #MEG dataset, a few assumptions and a reaction time per trial (and a bit of RAM to be honest) direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Out today: we discovered a new class of social hallucination - perception of chasing with high confidence. It is elevated in people who are paranoid and people who perceive meaning in the universe www.nature.com/articles/s44...

50 years ago Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch propelled the term #workingmemory into the psychological lexicon, with a vision that still resonates today! This editorial with Mark Hurlstone, @amyatkinson.bsky.social , Satoru Saito and Robert Logie, reflects on that remarkable contribution in 1974.

How does information processing during sleep really change? Brain activity might be higher but brain information is lower and redundant. Great and early discussions with Christine Blume and wonderful work from @Andrés Canales-Johnson conceptual and methodological analysis.

🚵 How does arousal level affect cognition? we show that cognitive control is preserved during sleepiness and intense exercise, but decision-making slows down while sleeping, and attentional focus improves while cycling. cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati... Data and paper open in the osf.io/uvq3m/

👋 blue-sky people, I am coming back after 1 year... I hope this becomes good.

Hi everyone. I've been wanting to put this out there for a while now, as I think it's interesting work, and hope you do too. Memorability of scenes influences their perceived duration, and vice versa! #neuroscience #psychscisky

There are limits to psychology's obsession with p-values, and better options exist. Read about an article making a compelling case for a model-centric psychological science in my latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/bemusing... #edusky #academicsky #PsychSciSky

I went this morning to the Isaac Newton Pub to see the #fifawwc with a couple of friends. The geeky + football vibes and the combination of coffes and teas on the tables with morning beers was an odd sight, in line with a non-male majority patrons. Congrats to las soñadoras for achieving the dream.
