Are you sure there’s no mosquito in the room? With @matanmazor.bsky.social, Chichi Dézier, @nfaivre.bsky.social & Louise Goupil, we study how we combine multiple sensory sources to be confident in presence and absence: While detection rely on one modality, confidence requires both channels to align!

still one of the best explanations of principal component analysis (pca), explained at different levels from layman to the more math inclined stats.stackexchange.com/a/140579/132...

Modeling Speed–Accuracy Trade-Offs in the Stopping Rule for Confidence Judgments! Now out in #PsychologicalReview (aka we can finally say we do comp models)! Led by @stefherregods.bsky.social @lucvermeylen.bsky.social @pierreledenmat.bsky.social Paper: desenderlab.com/wp-content/u... Thread ↓↓↓

If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/ #rstats #brms #EEG

Hey, listen! Very excited for the next @timingresforum.bsky.social virtual Journal Club! Farzaneh Najafi will be giving a talk on her recent work on intrinsic timing and ramping dynamics in visual and parietal cortices. Registration link below! Wed 12/10 @ 10am EST mailchi.mp/864719714f87...

Our review on intracranial research on consciousness is now out as a preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2510.08736. I believe that intracranial recordings provide one of the most exciting avenues for research on consciousness right now! If you agree, I think you will find the review interesting 🤓

If you attend #TRF4 in Tokyo and always wondered how humans represent durations, make sure to check out @grassocamille.bsky.social’s talk on Sunday morning! Spoiler: Durations are mentally organised along (at least) three interpretable dimensions! More complex structure than we previously assumed.

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠 We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very exciting article by Farzaneh Najafi (not on Bsky?) on interval timing as an intrinsic property of visual cortex! Intrinsic interval timing, not temporal prediction, underlies ramping dynamics in visual and parietal cortex, during passive behavior www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to have @brynnsherman.bsky.social join us for the next @timingresforum.bsky.social Virtual Journal Club! Please join us for what should be a very interesting talk on her recent work! Sign-up details below: mailchi.mp/28692b147cb0...

Great to have another paper with @chazfirestone.bsky.social @ianbphillips.bsky.social and the brilliant Hanbei Zhou out! In this paper we demonstrate that stimuli within events are perceived further apart in time — an event-based analog of “object-based warping”. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Job announcement 📢 @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social and I are looking for a joint postdoc interested in computational models of social interaction! Interested? If you’ll be at #rlc2025 (or I missed you at #cogsci2025) feel free to reach out with any questions! apply.interfolio.com/165809

If you are in Paris on October 1-3 : we are organizing a fantastic cognitive neuroscience conference at Collège de France, on topics ranging from language to math, education and consciousness, with many of my favorite scientists ! Full program here: www.unicog.org/seeing-the-m...

Happy to have contributed together with @lgrabot.bsky.social to discuss #traveling_waves and cognition!

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it. In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2) 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨 Neural dynamics across cortical layers are key to brain computations - but non-invasively, we’ve been limited to rough "deep vs. superficial" distinctions. What if we told you that it is possible to achieve full (TRUE!) laminar (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) precision with MEG!

New from our lab: your brain doesn’t just remember time - it bends it. We show that the dopamine system responds to natural breakpoints in experience, and this relates to more stretched memories of time. Blinking also increases, signaling encoding of new memories. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Episode II of how are durations stored in working memory: Besides replicating our previous findings, we find that alpha power reflects a universal signature of WM load and mediates recall precision, even for abstract information like duration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🔽 co-authors below

Please reach out if you’d like to come to sunny Aix-en-Provence (in the south of France) to work on anything related to the neural and computational bases of inner speech and/or mental/motor imagery!

Please RT🙏 Reach out if you want to help understand cognition by modelling, analyzing and/or collect large scale intracortical data from 👩🐒🐁 We're a friendly, diverse group (n>25) w/ this terrace 😎 in the center of Paris! See👇 for + info about the lab We have funding to support your application!

Hey, I put together these slides a little while ago for a team meeting — just a quick intro to making Gantt charts in R. Nothing fancy, but if it helps someone, I'm happy :) grassocamille.netlify.app/files/gantt_...

Our memories are not encoded with timestamps. How do we reconstruct the passage of time from our memories? In a new paper (accepted at Psych Science) @samiyousif.bsky.social and I demonstrate a powerful illusion of time that results from repeated experience osf.io/preprints/ps...

The brain doesn’t process pitch in an unstructured way. Typically, it represents pitches in a mostly linear structure—think piano keyboard layout. BUT—just 0.3 seconds after hearing a sound, something wild happens: the brain briefly represents pitch in a helix-like structure! 5/n

I put some introductory #EEG / #MEG videos together, based on our introduction to #neuroimaging at the @mrccbu.bsky.social : youtube.com/playlist?lis.... They should cover the most common aspects of EEG/MEG analysis, including pre-processing, source estimation and functional connectivity.

{tinyplot} 0.3.0 is out! 🚨 It's a lightweight #Rstats 📦 to draw beautiful and complex plots, using an ultra-simple and concise syntax. This is a massive release! @gmcd.bsky.social @zeileis.org and I worked hard to add tons of new themes and plot types. Check it out! grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/

We’re hiring at Excello! Join our team at the Collège de France, working alongside @standehaene.bsky.social, to create education tools and drive research that transforms learning worldwide. Please share 📣 www.college-de-france.fr/en/news/data...

what are your best tips to fit shifted lognormal models (in #brms / Stan)? I'm using: - checking the long tails (few long RTs make the tail estimation unwieldy) - low initial values for ndt - careful prior checks - pathfinder estimation of initial values still with increasing data, chains get stuck

Lovely video about recent work from the Buzsáki lab at NYU. Accessible explanation of manifold concept (transforming 100s of recordings into a low-dimensional manifold), which reveals the replay of salient spatial patterns (w/ripples) during sleep. youtu.be/ceFFEmkxTLg?...

This is a nice selection of papers illustrating why it's really important to think about causal models even if you're not building causal models (and also how to build better causal models).
