Excited to release the SPOT grid: a new image set that factorially crosses scene-object & texture-pattern pairings. We hope these stimuli will be useful to researchers aiming to (partially) disentangle the contributions of lower- and higher-level visual features to behavior & brain activity. 1/

Goodbye #ICON2025 👏 and bye Porto. An amazing conference full of great talks, inspiring poster sessions, and osom moments with old and new friends. Feeling lucky to be part of such a nice community!

New preprint! 🚨We discuss the long-term memory consequences of fast visual perceptual learning: "From sudden perceptual learning to enduring engrams: A representational perspective" It's so great to work with @jvoeller.bsky.social and the team! Congrats for your first author manuscript, Johannah!

📣 ICON Symposium Really excited to announce our symposium at @ICON this year on Sudden Learning Across Systems! Together with lots of cool people: @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social @lindedomingo.bsky.social @ortiztudela.bsky.social @anikaloewe.bsky.social @jazzmaniatico.bsky.social and Andrea Greve!

Looking forward to #ICON2025! Apart from posters (updates coming), we’ll be at the “Sudden Learning Across Systems” symposium talking about factors behind solving visual disambiguation 👀, memory traces of one-shot perceptual learning and more. Excited to share and get inspired by your work! 🚀

Looking forward to diving into this! Congrats @xiongbowu.bsky.social and the whole team. Seems like the EEG + eye-tracker 'fundamentalists' we are scoring another point 😅.

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

New paper out! Here we show that attentional biases induced by reward history depend on awareness of such reward history (w/ @jlupiane.bsky.social and @mavadillo.bsky.social). link.springer.com/article/10.3... 👇🧵

⚠️🚨 A postdoc position in a great place ( Mediterranean weather, an excellent research center), a super cool project, and most importantly, the chance to work with an amazing person. I would apply right away! 🙃

Super happy to share our new preprint! 🥳 An exciting adventure with the fantastic @ivanpadezhki.bsky.social ki.bsky.social, and my first time as senior co-author together with @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social

A on-going guide for those students who want to start programming. We are having a lot of fun putting this together. Thanks Carlos for leading this project 🙃!

Thrilled to share this resource: if you have a Psychology/CogNeuro background and you are considering embracing coding into your workflow, this guide is for you (or your students in this situation!). Thanks to @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social for leading this initiative!

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations. 👉 Still growing, but ready to explore: wobc.github.io/programming_book/

Do you know how crazy the weather has been? It is about to get crazier. www.intellinews.com/southern-oce...

Such a nice session 😊. Thanks a lot for joining us!

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Just finished The Alters. What a ride for sci-fi fans! Easily one of the best indie games I’ve played lately, and a strong candidate for my game of the year. It’s exciting to see small European studios delivering such top-tier quality ❤️ youtu.be/Xt1VEgUxTMQ?...

Finally. I had some time to finish a ridiculous personal website 😅. www.lindedomingo.com (I will continue adding stuff here)

New preprint! 🚨→ Determinants of Visual Ambiguity Resolution. A new work with @ortiztudela.bsky.social @jvoeller.bsky.social @martinhebart.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social We created ~2k images and collected ~100k responses to study visual ambiguity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Come to learn and work with us. 😀

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe. On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe. This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!) europa.eu/!6Vdgmp

Please, avoid buying a Canyon e-bike from 2023 on. At some point it seems that Canyon changed the way they worked and it is terrible atm: problems in delivery, missing parts, bikes not well-mounted and, now, a broken engine. My experience in 2022 was fantastic, but right now it is a nightmare.

Hi Bluesky! First post here. Kicking things off with a new preprint. 🧠 Using human iEEG + pharmacology, we asked: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval? Turns out it’s not. Instead, it may reflect a reinstated encoding mode. Thread below. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I have seen folks waste so much time by not properly planning research. Missed literature, missing controls, ignored hypotheses, etc. Lack of planning also produces bad science (e.g. analysis until significant). So I am writing an app. Looking for feedback. scientific-paper-planner-test.vercel.app

When you successfully anticipate future events, what happens to your ability to encode the present? 🤔 Successful prediction increases the likelihood of successful encoding. We speculate about how switching between distinct encoding & prediction states can produce this effect. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our paper in @natcomms.nature.com, we show how cognitive maps in the hippocampal system could solve the general problem of representing and relating multiple alternative action plans.  doi.org/10.1038/s414... With @doellerlab.bsky.social, Patrick Haggard, @vigano.bsky.social, Daniel Reznik

(1/6) Thrilled to share our triple-N dataset (Non-human Primate Neural Responses to Natural Scenes)! It captures thousands of high-level visual neuron responses in macaques to natural scenes using #Neuropixels.

We add a great time at the latest EEG+ session at the @cimcyc.bsky.social yesterday. Thank a lot David López-García for introducing the MVPAlab, an intuitive toolbox for multivariate M/EEG analysis. Perfect for both beginners & pros! Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.cm... GitHub: github.com/dlopezg/mvpa...

Into developmental EEG? 👶🧠🧪 Check out our new toolbox for time-frequency infant EEG using complex wavelet transformation!

New paper out! 🎉 “Evolving Engrams Demand Changes in Effective Cues” (Hippocampus). In this opinion piece, we discuss how retrieval processes can be enhanced and offer an alternative to one of the field’s few enduring principles: encoding specificity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

1/2 Just like social groups, human memory is organized in interconnected patterns. Activating one memory can trigger related ones, similar to how information spreads through a community. Could social sharing shape how memories are formed? #PsychSciSky

structure differences result in electrophysiological activity differences. super tempting to look for principles preserved across species, e.g: oscillation frequency: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24183025 nevertheless, I think the story is not so simple... still want to make an updated graph eventually.

#CIMCYCSessions Aprende sobre MVPAlab, una herramienta que permite realizar análisis complejos con técnicas de machine learning. 📌Esta sesión será en español. 📍Conexión online: lnkd.in/dpBYnbRX Más información y recursos sobre la herramienta en nuestra página web: cimcyc.ugr.es/informacion/...

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

So Garmin can use your very sensitive biometric data from your watch to feed an AI model. But only if you pay around 90 euros per year. This world really scares me 🥲.

Let me add some more shamelessness. Top-down signals from V4 to V1 appear to change the working point of V1, i.e. which neurons fire and which don't www.cell.com/cell-reports...

This important lecture provides a clear and compelling analysis - based on several truly depressing cases. Deserves to be watched and shared. We can and must do better. media.ccc.de/v/eh22-84-th...

Formulario para oponerse a que MetaAI se entrene con contenido público en Instagram y Facebook. Sólo para ciudadanos europeos. Los cambios entran en vigor el 27/05/2025. No es una garantía de protección, pero es importante que conste dicha oposición por lo que pudiera ocurrir en adelante.

Good reminder :)

AI can be helpful with programming & writing, but *the better you are at those things, the more useful AI is.* Early on, when you're just starting out with either, it can "actually be very disruptive to the learning process" to use AI instead of doing it yourself. @markthornton.bsky.social #SANS2025

My sense in the UK is that we should start examining what is happening in the Netherlands, Italy, and the US and anticipate some such future for ourselves. Reasonably well established democracies (Italy maybe an edge case?) wherein their local variant on nationalist populists took power...
