" 60 per cent of UK university libraries are considering dropping their big deals with the five major academic publisher" Many call for diamond open access. A new organisation with many partners, @ojcollective.bsky.social , is launching in January. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

🚨 Join me for a hands-on #iElectrodes tutorial at #PracticalMEEG! 📍 Online • 🗓 Thursday, Oct 30 • 14:00–17:00 CET 💐 Free but mandatory registration Learn how to localize intracranial #iEEG #SEEG #ECoG electrodes — and explore many other great toolboxes!

What happens in the brain when we manipulate our thoughts? We asked 30 epilepsy patients to mentally invert short melodies. Intracerebral #iEEG recordings suggest brain synchrony and sensory inhibition are key for mental manipulation: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #neuroskyence #musicscience

#OAweek Support diamond #openaccess scholar-controlled journals, such as those listed at freejournals.org.

Excellent work by @dquiroga.bsky.social! Happy to be part of this great collaboration exploring how the brain manipulates thoughts through music 🎶 #Neuroscience #MusicScience #CognitiveNeuroscience #iEEG

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Ever slam on the brakes after seeing a speed trap? Or better yet, slow down ahead in anticipation? In our new paper w/ @anask07.bsky.social in @cp-iscience.bsky.social, we use #iEEG to study the neural basis of reactive and proactive control in medial and lateral PFC. tinyurl.com/4bbwbffv

Randolph is fantastic, and this will be an incredible opportunity to work on cutting edge science! Definitely consider applying

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

"A literature which is made by machines, which are owned by corporations, which are run by sociopaths, can only be a “stereotype” — a simplification, a facsimile, an insult, a fake — of real literature. It should be smashed, and can." -- @nplusonemag.com 🙏🏽 www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

An insightful & enjoyable conversation with computational cognitive scientists Dr @olivia.science & Prof @irisvanrooij.bsky.social about their paper 'Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia' Give it a listen❗ Share this & the paper w university leadership & administrators❗

New paper! Excellent work by Rebecca Jane Scarratt on the neural responses to relaxation music published in the journal Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience. @musicinthebrain.bsky.social #Musicscience link.springer.com/article/10.3...

🤔How does the human brain predict unexpected sounds? Our new study shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as a single unit. Instead, the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex make distinct, time-sensitive contributions. #iEEG #BrainLesion #OFC #LPFC doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We're excited to take this step, and to talk to other folks who are interested in experimenting. If you have something you're excited to try, reply here -- and we might even fund it. asterainstitute.substack.com/p/scientific...

Don't miss the chance to apply to work with Andres. He is a great researcher in the field of predictive processing, working with #iEEG across humans and non-human primates

Excited to announce a new study from my time at the Center for Music in the Brain, Aarhus University, now available on bioRxiv! Inharmonicity enhances brain signals of attentional capture and auditory stream segregation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #EEG #neuroscience #neuroskyence

as an experiment in academic internet stuff I made a 'new-auditory' list for folks interested in audition, hearing, speech, music etc anybody can join at groups.google.com/g/new-audito... the 30-year-old AUDITORY list is v cool but has many drawbacks, not least that it runs on 30-yr-old tech

Dear #eeg #neuroskyence #neurosky people: we've just set up a feed that focuses on intracranial EEG research. Please check it out: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:j3iraqfrxtckpozvwlzbtihc/feed/aaabu2nq26lhy Use the tags #iEEG, #ECoG, #sEEG or #stereo-EEG to post. (this time with the correct link 😅)

Very excited to share with you our new paper on sleep strategies in the general population! #musicscience #sleepscience

Colombia President Claims Cocaine No Worse Than Whiskey theonion.com/colombi...

Hello! For my PhD at the @musicinthebrain.bsky.social we are conducting an online survey on music for sleep. 🎶💤 Click on the link if you’re more than 18 and listen to music for sleep! It takes around 15 minutes ☀️ survey.au.dk/LinkCollecto... Thank you! #musicscience @lullabyte.bsky.social

Powerful, provocative piece from @cbo.bsky.social this morning.

Best use of AI so far youtube.com/watch?v=bL9i... "AI granny speaks to scammer"

#musicscience folks: Unhappy with the long and secretive review process of traditional journals? Tired of paying nonsensical APCs for open access? I hear rumors of a diamond OA @peercommunityin.bsky.social in Systematic Musicology. Anyone interested? @js.bamford.id.au @stupacher.bsky.social

You can read our new paper on modelling multiple data streams with varying dimensionality (alternately titled "What am I going to do with all these dimensions?!") if you want to. It's not even a little bit illegal.

Check out @musicinthebrain.bsky.social new paper published in Physics of Life Reviews on the Major - Minor dichotomy in music perception. I share first authorship with Giulio Carraturo. Thanks to all co-authors and to @dg.dk #musicscience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Lots of folks have joined since I first shared the #musicskyence starter pack below (up to 110 now). Worth checking out the new arrivals. To stay up to date you can also pin the #musicscience feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... and the #musicscience list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

It often makes me laugh that Fuck Around, Find Out is simply and quite literally how the scientific method actually works. #AcademicSky #Science

Some #musicscience humor to start the week

I’ve created a starter pack to collect the #musicscience and #musicpsychology related organizations and labs together in one place. Let me know if there is anyone to add! go.bsky.app/Eao5vcf

New preprint out with Rebecca Jane Scarratt 🥳🎉 Using a text mining approach to YouTube comments, we investigated how different motivations for using sleep music can influence the type of music used for sleep @musicinthebrain.bsky.social @lullabyte.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

I'm proud to announce a new textbook for #musicscience titled "Music and Science: A Guide to Empirical Research". It covers methods in music psychology, empirical research, #openresearch & music computation in 298 pages. For details, see doi.org/10.4324/9781.... Codes at tuomaseerola.github.io/emr/

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

Welcome to bsky @musicinthebrain.bsky.social ! You can find a bunch of the #musicscience #musicskyence folks here:

Happy to share our new #musicscience article w/ Nathalie Bedoin & Barbara Tillmann! We discuss why a recent rhythmic priming implementation in English failed. Key factors: ⏱️ added delays after primes, 📝 relaxation instructions, and 📈 small sample size 🧠 🎵🎶 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is spot on👌

I don’t see why people get worked up about academic publishing. It’s easy. You just publish in a journal that’s not-for-profit, open access, free to publish, and highly respected in and out of your field because it only publishes high quality papers. With fully transparent but double blind review… 🧵

Do you have imaginary conversations with yourself or others? Can you replay a favourite song or hear other sounds in your head? Why do we have these experiences? What are they for? Join our trans-disciplinary conversation and participate in #The Mind’s Ear and Inner Voice 2025.

I am seeking PhD students to join my new lab at Cornell! Work with me at @co3lab.bsky.social on perception and internal representations, cultural evolution, large scale online experiments, cross cultural experiments or computational music cognition. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested!

We are recruiting PhD students! Our research covers a diverse range of topics, including perception and internal representations, cultural evolution, large-scale online experiments, cross-cultural studies, and computational music cognition. Please spread the word!

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1. Reasoning behind over- and under-confidence in one’s abilities 2. Is resilience always healthy?
