This was a great session - it's important to talk about the challenges affecting our field. Great to have some practical advice on how we can assess risk, safeguard ourselves, our research, and our communities.

Having a great time at Flux Congress #flux2025 in Dublin talking about all things Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. If you missed the symposium that I presented in, not to worry, there's a preprint of our review paper here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Please share 🙏🏼 we're running a fun study that takes ~10mins. We want people to estimate things, like how much a piano weighs? We know most won't know the exact answer but we're interested in your guesses. It's honestly quite fun and you'll get the answers at the end. research.sc/participant/...

It is a great pleasure to share this new collaborative work on the Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory Representations with @fnim-lab.bsky.social @cvlneuro.bsky.social @psychologyuea.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Doing a fun study on people's guesses – like how many litres of air do people breathe in a day? No googling! Just your first guess! There's 6 topics ~20 questions each. You’ll get to see the answers at the end! research.sc/participant/... We'd love a big sample – feel free to share!

Does anyone have any examples of illustrations (not diagrams / models / charts) in scientific papers? Research related to child development or psychology would be especially helpful, but any examples would be welcome. Thank you

Looking forward to the BNS Spring meeting! 👀 Bursaries to fund attendance at the meeting are still open but close soon: 17th March 2025. Travel bursaries, up to the value of £250, to cover travel and accommodation for our meetings are available.

Trying to run a university department without skilled administrative support staff is like trying to run a football club with only the players.

Depending on the theoretical model, perhaps Chidi would have an imprecise understanding of pizza and he would be more likely to confuse it with bruschetta.

Blink-&-you-miss-it scene from The Good Place, illustrating the difference between 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺 (memory for events bound to time & place) and 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺 (memory for facts & knowledge)

My dog, Franklin, interrupted my lecture recording and made me laugh so I had to re-record. He seems worried about the assignment <3

Always an excellent meeting - looking forward to it! 🧠 Abstract deadline is Feb 17th so it's not too late to join us 📝

I don't know why i find the physics of crowds so interesting, but i do. This paper has some really cool videos of dense crowds moving like a fluid.

Why is forgetting such an important part of learning? Robert Bjork explains something that every teacher should know.

We're hiring a #Psychology Technician at LSBU! Experience in cognitive neuroscience ( #EEG, #fNIRS, #eye-tracking) is a plus. We've recently invested £100K in brain research—great opportunity for someone keen to work in this area. Questions? Ask me! 🧠 www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLS679/p...

My son turns twenty five years old this week 😲 💕

We go into academia because we despise material values and we end up running a series of nested loss-making small businesses. Hey Ho.

Today, I got to go on "Mornings with Simi" in Vancouver, Canada 📻 and talk to @simisara730cknw.bsky.social about neuroscience and #Severance based on our recent article 👇. Thanks for having me 😊 theconversation.com/severance-th...

Announcing a new endowed Chair in Young People's Mental Health at @campsydept.bsky.social. An exciting opportunity to shape mental health strategy and conduct world-leading research in one of the most intellectually vibrant places in the world. Please share!

has anyone managed to get Chatgpt / Dall-E to draw a rewind symbol. I thought I would represent memory replay with a icon that combined a brain with a rewind symbol 🧠 + ⏪. No matter what I tell it, it can't manage the rewind icon. Seems like such a simple request! 😆

Final version of our study on forgetting in epilepsy is out in Cortex (in the special issue for Sergio Della Sala). Detecting accelerated long-term forgetting remotely in a community sample of people with epilepsy: Evidence from the Crimes and Four Doors tests www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our article on the Cognitive Neuroscience of #Severance is in Wired! :) Well done @lauren-ford.bsky.social 🧠 www.wired.com/story/severa...

🎈New paper🎈 Led by the inimitable @asieh.bsky.social Hippocampal dysfunction in medication naive patients with schizophrenia during a memory task resolves with drug treatment. Incredible team effort! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

CNS is here 👋🏻👋🏻

Writing a public engagement piece with your new student is a great way to get the PhD started - thanks for all your work on this @lauren-ford.bsky.social Maybe we can pivot your thesis to experimental workplace neurosurgeries ;)

Who else watched Severance and thought it was great? @rachaelelward.bsky.social and I liked it so much we wrote an article for @uk.theconversation.com, thinking about what science might be behind the fictional Severance procedure. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!

I really enjoyed working on this with @lauren-ford.bsky.social 🧠. The real disconnection syndromes and #neuropsychological patients are just as fascinating as the fictional #Severance Procedure. We could have written another 1000 words! Thanks @annalouwalker.bsky.social and @uk.theconversation.com

If, like me, you’re counting down the days to Severance season 2, prepare to have your mind blown by this incredible article on the real cognitive neuroscience behind the show’s ‘severance procedure’, by @rachaelelward.bsky.social & @lauren-ford.bsky.social theconversation.com/severance-th...

🚨 New funded PhD position at UCL 🚨 Funding is provided for a PhD student in our new centre to help work with Fiona Zisch & Sean Hanna to apply agent-based-modelling to analyse the crazy data set from 100+ people navigating a giant maze in PEARL. See details: www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/arc...

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly. www.online-tribute.com/EleanorMaguire

We recently published a book of articles where neuroscientists, medics, and psychologists with neurological disorders discussed their own conditions. Narinder Kapur organised an online conference where some of the authors presented. It's now online in full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wfy...

I'd like to introduce Bluesky to my PhD student @lauren-ford.bsky.social she is new to Bluesky but looking forward to connecting with you all and your research 🧠

OK folks, I've started an episodic memory starter pack. By no means a full list so reply below if you're an episodic memory nerd! go.bsky.app/2mtNK43

Researchers - do you have any experience of installing a sound-proof booth or Faraday cage in your labs - which company did you use and do you have any tips? 🙏🏻 Advice from UK based researchers especially welcome.

Can you predict the future? Your brain and your eyes can. 🧵 I had the honour of writing a @currentbiology.bsky.social Dispatch in which I discuss exciting new findings from @philippbuchel.bsky.social, Klingspohr, Kehl & Staresina (2024). Read the Dispatch here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 1/3

🚨Job alert‼️🚨 The Imaging Memory and Consolidation Lab @unifreiburg.bsky.social is looking for a PhD candidate interested in sleep and memory in aging! 🧠💤 Please spread the news!

Happy publication day to us! New paper just landed: The holistic forgetting of events and the (sometimes) fragmented forgetting of objects www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition 🧪

Wow! Impressive sample size for baby research 👀 I was always skeptical of that finding. Looking forward to updating my moral development lecture this year 😇

Nice analogy from Cathy Price at the @britishneuropsych.bsky.social meeting. When you're embarrassed, blood flows to your cheeks and you blush, but blushing is not casually responsible for processing social embarrassment. 🧠 Thanks BNS for a great day of talks 💕

Good to have to hand for when a Reviewer 2 explains that you should use d' to measure recognition memory performance
