Stirling University campus is stunning right now 👌🏻

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

Question to any attention researchers following this account: Do you know of ANY theory/model of visual attention that defines or explains what is "attentional selection"? Anything that comes to mind will do. Extra points if they're detailing a mechanism that underlies it.

We have two job openings in my lab currently — for a postdoc (100% FTE some teaching four years) and a postdoc/phd student (75% FTE no teaching three years). Check them out at www.uni-luebeck.de/aktuelles/be...

‘The REF has now morphed into a hugely expensive, attention-engrossing status marker. Few things would improve the intellectual culture of universities more quickly than the complete abolition of this flawed and coercive exercise.’ Stefan Collini on universities www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

[3] We used thermal imaging to illustrate this problem: When you show bright stimuli for long durations (i.e., seconds), the OLED's pixels heat up locally. This warming then causes *subsequent* stimuli to be shown brighter at these locations. A small and slow, but devious form of image persistence!

Hello, some of you formerly on Twitter may remember that during the pandemic, someone had a thread with the (usually quite old) most inspirational, ground-breaking, seminal papers. I am no longer on Twitter, forgot to save it, but I would love to get back to it. Did anyone save it, by any chance?

I work in a grant office at a uni and my personal take is that instead of trying to write better grants and compete for crumbs, universities should be supporting political action and PR to convince politicians and the public that research is important.

For many Iranian students, Neuromatch was one of the few bridges to the international neuroscience community. Iranian students and TAs have contributed so much to it. Many of us, including me, found neuroscience through Neuromatch. This decision by Trump’s gov is cruel, unjust and a loss for science

I did a Meet the Scientist session at my son's nursery today. Absolutely terrifying, but so cool. We did EEG and talked about the model brain. Amazing deadpan replies from 4 year olds. The best reply to "Does anyone know what the brain does?" was "It stops your head from going flat". Not wrong, kid.
