Many thanks for your support @maggiechapman.bsky.social - the townhall with the excellent presentation by @melchem.bsky.social @ducuuo.bsky.social countering the doom & gloom narrative of uni exec finance, used as justification for further cuts, is still available as a recording to all staff.

Our members turned out in the wind and cold this morning to ask the University of Dundee to rule out compulsory redundancies. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni

Today we hosted a gathering outside the University of Dundee, to coincide with the visit of Ben Macpherson MSP, Minister for Higher and Further Education. Ahead of his meeting with unions and students, the Minister took some time to come and speak to us. 1/2

Listen to what students and staff think about the current job cuts at the University of Dundee. Thanks to STV for their continuing excellent reporting. youtu.be/GYhLFLVRy9Y

Join the University and Colleges Union branch at the University of Dundee today. Our strike action and lobbying was a major factor in securing additional funding for the University. We consistently protect our members and ask for redundancies to be ruled out. Join now - www.ucu.org.uk/join

The current situation at the University of Dundee is that we are not getting our annual pay increase and that promotion processes are paused. At the same time the uni is refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies, it is advertising over 20 new senior management jobs for academic staff.

Today, we are out on strike again to save our jobs and tap the sign that Scottish (and in extension UK) Higher Education is not doing well, largely due to financial mismanagemement. This is all currently put on display by our Union reps in the Scottish parliament ⬇️ @ducuuo.bsky.social

Watch union representatives from Scottish universities give evidence to the Scottish Parliament on the crisis and how it is affecting staff and students. www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/educ...

We are also hosting a rally outside of the Holyrood building in Edinburgh tomorrow from 12:30-1:30pm. If you’re in Edinburgh, come and join us, in better weather ☀️ The rally will focus on our and other campus unions fight against job cuts in the Scottish HE sector.

Today we strike to ask the University of Dundee to rule out compulsory redundancies. Join us at the front of the Tower until 10am and then at Holyrood for our rally to defend Scottish Higher Education sector from 12:30-13:30.

Hearing loss is the biggest potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, but how many people know about this, how does it affect their behaviors, and what socioeconomic and demographic factors influence having heard about the link.

Welcome to the world of Ganzflicker... in comic form!? Comic by the fabulous [email protected], Instagram: @Mr.dog.art A MassArt initiative led by @hudrewthis.bsky.social Hallucinations are often feared and unwanted... But what if we could induce them, so we can better understand them?

I use EEG/MEG. When I meet like-minded researchers at conferences, the discussion always circles back to one thing: admitting that results may be confounded by leakage (also known as remaining field spread—RFS). In our new preprint, we quantify RFS in parcellated data using cross-talk function—CTF.🧵

Out now in Communications Biology 🧠 🫀We show that cardiac oscillations associated with vagal tone influence the strength of the heartbeat as sensed at brain level. We hypothesize that the heart may send information to the brain, encoded by the heartbeat strength doi.org/10.1038/s420...

We held a rally to mark one-year of the financial crisis at the University of Dundee. We resolve to continue opposing compulsory lay-offs and a radical reshaping of the institution. If we fight together we win! www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/... #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni #WeAreTheUniversity

New perspective paper out now in @plosbiology.org with a few thoughts on #interoception: What it is (or rather is not), how it can inform therapeutic interventions, and where (we think) the field of brain-body #neuroskyence has yet to find more solid ground to build on. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Want to find out how your voice can stop job cuts at the University of Dundee? Take the first step towards having influence on what happens to you next. Come along to our Stop The Jkb Cuts rally tomorrow at the Queen’s Hotel, 12:30-13:30pm. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni

Day 1 of our 5 day strike done. Thanks to STV for coming along and interviewing members. Come and have a chat with us at the front of the Tower any day this week. news.stv.tv/north/dundee...

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

If you missed it, here’s the interim Principal talking about substantial future job cuts at University of Dundee. He refers to the number of job losses recommended in the recovery plan. This is 390FTE with 340FTE via redundancies. We believe redundancies are not necessary. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni

Yesterday our interim Principal, gave evidence to the Education, Children and Young People Committee. He stated that he had never ruled out redundancies. Judge for yourself.

A great videos with excellent contributions from across the UK. Vote now. Show your solidarity for the national ballot to save our universities. #SaveHE #WeAreTheUniversity

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox. #brainmovie meegsim.readthedocs.io/en/stable/in...

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today! In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%. Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

I'm thrilled to share that our new paper is now published in Psychophysiology (Open Access): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @zacndr.bsky.social @teamlabuda.bsky.social @fraferri.bsky.social @danlikesbrains.bsky.social

Remember when UEG told us “there was no plan B” for further redundancies. Now we know, from the published Recovery Plan, that at the same time they were proposing over 400 future job losses including over 350 redundancies. We cannot trust their words. Vote in our ballot now to protect jobs.

Please RT 2 new positions in the lab as postdoc & PhD! Interested in stress, pain, or reward? This project has it all! We are a friendly but ambitious group. Oslo is a capital city on the fjord & bordered by forest, great urban & outdoors opportunities: 💃 ⛷️ 🚣 🎭 🎶 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...
