🧠 New paper alert (the 1st one from our new lab)! Led by 1st author & VR wizard @jaquent.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com How do our brains distinguish novel from familiar places as we explore our environments, e.g., a new city? 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵 Thread below with key findings ⬇️

Amazing #RegisteredReport led by Sumaiyah Raza from @mrccbu.bsky.social. We (again) found evidence against a memory benefit of spatial novelty. However, this time we did find a retroactive benefit of rest, which highlights that more work is needed here. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Also a thing that happened today is that I gave an interview about my experience of being a post doc in China and Fudan.

Final post #ohbm2025 post (I promise). I have never seen that many different species of wild animals in a city before coming to #Brisbane.

Did you ever wanted to see a visualisation how two common brain 🧠 network parcellations (Yeo 7 vs. CAB NP) differ? Here is a small something I quickly cooked up because I was curious myself. #neurosky #neuro #brain #brainsky #neuroimaging Code: github.com/JAQuent/netw...

🧠 Thrilled to share our latest study, now published in PLOS Biology! 🌟 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... In this work, conducted by me and Dr. Qing Yu at the Institute of Neuroscience, we uncovered how the brain encodes and implements abstract task information (such as goals) in working memory.

Hi everyone!

I convinced none less than the best person (@mengya-zhang.bsky.social) in the universe to join. Give her a follow (especially anyone interested in working memory or cognitive control).
