Great study by @lunahuestegge.bsky.social and @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social using TMS to investigate the causal role of early visual cortex in imagery-induced false percepts.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Terrific work led by @emmaroscow.bsky.social showing that hippocampal replay reflects events with large prediction errors, all the better to bootstrap learning as we slumber Congratulations to Matt Jones & Nathan Lepora for seeing this through to the end! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

“...the editors are all working scientists & so they understand the process.... they are able to not only ensure there is a fair & rapid review, but they can also evaluate the reviews that you get.” Linda Overstreet-Wadiche explains 1 of the many reasons to submit to #JNeurosci

Matchday! Last midweek home game of the season 🙁

A small but significant step: Dutch national broadcaster NOS is leaving X. “The volume of hateful comments and disinformation on X is enormous and flows freely. This also applies under our own posts, meaning we unintentionally contribute to their spread” over.nos.nl/nieuws/nos-p...

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again. #sciencematters

"we found that psilocybin altered a fundamental computational building block of contextual processing in the human brain: divisive normalization, particularly in the form of visual surround suppression" #neuroskyence 🧠

** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)

Our new paper is out in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s41... We combined psychophysics, 7T fMRI, and computational modeling of vision with placebo, 5mg, and 10mg psilocybin, in the same group of participants, to clarify the computational mechanisms of psychedelics. 🧵

90+4' Full time Clapton CFC 3 Richmond and Kew 0 Not loads of clear cut chances in the second half. CCFC seemed in control, but it needed the 3rd goal to feel comfortable. A good performance all round

7' GOAL!!! Marta Boiro plays the ball through to Leigha Bradding-Butler. Leigha lifts the bouncing ball over the Richmond keeper into the net. A wonderful finish Clapton CFC 1 Richmond and Kew 0

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Very cool new work from the Iglesias group at MGH: A probabilistic histological atlas of the human brain for MRI segmentation (also available at OpenNeuro - openneuro.org/datasets/ds0...) : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Pls report: We're hiring! Looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to join our study of individual differences in plasticity in #blindness (+ possible extension to #deafness) using fMRI. Details and application: apply.interfolio.com/177838 #hiring #postdoc #neurojobs #Neuroscience #NeuroTwitter

How do changes in context influence how we organize our memories in time? Faster contextual changes are associated with faster drift in hippocampal activity and reduced temporal clustering in recalled memories. Elegant work led by @lindsayrait.bsky.social! www.jneurosci.org/content/45/4...

Imagine believing that this should be the policy of a Labour government

It’s today! Looking forward !

1. 🧵 Thread: What happens to the visual brain after early transient blindness? Our new Nature Communications paper examines a rare population: people born with dense bilateral cataracts—a short blindness occurring during a critical window of visual development. 🔗 rdcu.be/eQjMH

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite. (Note also the line about pronouncing his name.) www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This study aimed to investigate how working memory interacts with perception at the behavioral level. We examined whether working memory modulates subjective perception when the general capacity for perceptual processing is kept constant. 1/

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

A Russian company presented the country's first (per TASS) humanoid robot equipped with AI today; it didn't go very well. (The soundtrack is spot-on though)

What aspects of human knowledge do vision models like CLIP fail to capture, and how can we improve them? We suggest models miss key global organization; aligning them makes them more robust.

Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

The Netherlands just elected a young, upbeat, openly gay prime minister who’s talking optimism, growth, and even building new cities, and somehow, it’s working! @stanveuger.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social to talk it

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.
