Noise ceilings are really useful: You can estimate the reliability of your data and get an index of how well your model can possibly perform given the noise in the data. But, contrary to what you may think, noise ceilings do not provide an absolute index of data quality. Let's dive into why. 🧵

My prediction is that LLM peer review will slow down science. It will do this for precisely the same reasons that contemporary peer review does and some extra ones. Start by reading @hansonmark.bsky.social thread below, then read on. 🧵

📢The #CIMCYCSessions are back! The first session of the #AI, #Mind and #Brain season will take place next Thursday, November 13, 2025. 📍The session will be conducted entirely online. More info: cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati...

Look at the distribution of z-values from medical research!

Really enjoying teaching Cognitive Neuroscience to bachelor students. However, the biggest challenge is striking a balance between “we seem to know this” and “this is still uncharted territory” 😅. I hope we are not driving them bananas

Really enjoyed reading this one 😀. A nice conceptual reframing regarding the state of episodic memories. Particularly useful to rethink how some of our ongoing cue-manipulation work in the lab might be pushing memories along different axes of this 3D space-state.

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026. The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social. Please apply here until Nov 25: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

Exciting times! These days we are setting up our new EEG equipment. It feels like Christmas in November 😅.

Preparing a journal club reading about such a nice paper -> Entorhinal grid-like codes for visual space during memory formation www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper published: Having free choice over what to learn improves memory, even in the presence of distraction. Across two experiments, free choice selectively enhanced recognition for relevant, but not irrelevant items. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Does JavaScript….go hard?!??

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Analyzing the academic trajectories of 78,216 psychology researchers, we demonstrate a persistent gender attrition gap, with women psychologists dropping out of academia at consistently higher rates than men psychologists. Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.13273

🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference? In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It may sound obvious, but I’m amazed by how much time and effort you can save just by simply sharing and discussing ideas with as many people as possible **before** stepping into the lab 🥲.

I am gonna take the option where I get more time to read, understand and write. maybe that AI can go to committee meetings for me?

Interesting!

If you're interested in the cognitive neuroscience of memory feel free to email me! I do experimental psychology, brain imaging (fMRI and MEG) and a bit of modelling. Lab is doing stuff on forgetting, aging, schemas, and event boundaries, but we're not limited to that. #psychscisky #neuroskyence

Very happy to finally see this out! A while ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet an awesome group of scientists from very diverse fields, interested in exchanging thoughts, experiences and ideas. In this book, we collect some of these exchanges as a celebration the richness of science.

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.

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
