What started as a journal club on layer decoding turned into a project thanks to @karolisdegutis.bsky.social. Our preprint challenges a widespread assumption in the field: MVPA is not immune to vascular confounds in laminar GE-BOLD decoding, as shown using a mechanistic laminar response model.

Vascular draining confounds laminar decoding in fMRI https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.26.672278v1

Happy to see this out: our new preprint shows that laminar GE-BOLD fMRI decoding isn’t immune to vascular draining biases. Simulations reveal false positives due to multivariate signal spread across layers, but oversampling + deconvolution can (sometimes) improve specificity.

Curious about the visual human brain, a vibrant and collaborative lab, and pursuing a PhD in the heart of Europe? My lab is recruiting for a 3-year PhD position. More details: www.rademakerlab.com/job-add

Very happy to share our work on the neural dynamics of visual working memory maintenance during sensory distraction; now out as a VOR on eLIife: elifesciences.org/articles/99290

Excited to share our latest preprint: "Challenges in replicating layer-specificity of working memory processes in the human prefrontal cortex.”, where we attempted to replicate layer-specific fMRI findings in the human dlPFC during a working memory task. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I have a post-doc position to study the effect of AI on education. How can we ensure that AI tools enhance natural intelligence? The position is a part of the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence. Please repost - not easy to get people to work in Estonia 🥶 #edusky #neuroAI

Working memory is not steady state persistent activity, as once thought. Instead, it is dynamic with brief bouts of activity. Neural dynamics of visual working memory representation during sensory distraction www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroscience
