📣 Postdoc in Human Neurophysiology & Neurorehab 📣 The Real-Time NeuroRehabilitation Lab at the U of Iowa is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Scholar! Motor control, EEG/TMS, neurorehabilitation, and real-time multimodal methods. 📅 Summer/Fall 2026 📧 [email protected] Please share!

New work, now out in PLoS Biology. Using intracranial recordings & EEG, we find that the human STN rapidly engages / releases motor inhibition depending on task context, does so in tight accord w/ frontal cortex, and shows little to no lateralization while doing so. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

🚨🚨 Job Alert! 🚨🚨 We are seeking a full-time Study Coordinator for a NIMH-funded project that aims to uncover cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying maladaptive food-choice behavior in anorexia nervosa using behavior, eye tracking, fMRI, and computational models. Pls spread the word!

We're hiring! FT research assistant @ UT Dallas Join our team to work on a longitudinal neuroimaging study of midlife brain aging. Strong opportunity for those interested in brain networks, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease risk. App. deadline May 6. Details: jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/31680

👀 looks like the core Stan folks are pretty bullish on Jax as the software of choice for fitting Bayesian models bob-carpenter.github.io/dj-paper/

I love this and I think it applies in a way to cog psych and cog neuro as well

Hot off the "reels"! The keynote talk by Peter Hagoort, as well as award talks by @theamygdaloid.bsky.social, @monicarosenb.bsky.social and @actlab.bsky.social All up on our YouTube channel now! Check them out: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #CNS2026 #neuroscience

Interested in learning how to process raw fMRI data? Join us April 21–23 for an intensive AFNI Bootcamp taught by instructors from the NIH. The course covers everything from preprocessing to data analysis. For information & to register, visit: https://persichetti-lab.github.io/afni-bootcamp-philly/

Also out today - A quick intro piece on the role of the cerebellum in cognition. What does it do? How will we find out? This is what @actlab.bsky.social and I think the critical questions are right now. It was fun to write - especially the section on evolution.... journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

I am currently recruiting a PhD student to work on our "Motor complexity and aging" project funded by the @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo...

Statistical Rethinking 2026 is done: 20 new lectures emphasizing logical and critical statistical workflow, from basics of probability theory to causal inference to reliable computation to sensitivity. It's all free, made just for you. Lecture list and links: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Excited to see this work out! We show that attention can rapidly learn to ignore salient distractions within 1-2 exposures. Interestingly, this learned suppression is highly contingent on an initial instance of capture! More to come! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @yuezhang-mu.bsky.social

Want to learn R? 📊 Join our NSF-funded "R Programming for Psychology and Neuroscience Workshop"! This virtual workshop is completely free and teaches junior scientists the basics of coding for data analysis. Apply by May 15th! rworkshop.missouri.edu #RStats #Psychology #Neuroscience

Really excited to get stared on this project! We are also looking for a postdoc to help with this project - the official job ad is coming soon, but please reach out in the meanwhile if interested! You'll get to do some behavioral testing and neuroimaging in people with stroke

I love this idea! Have to give it a read

Pet peeve: People saying out loud, "the delta between X and Y". Delta is the symbol used for a difference as shorthand notation. If you're speaking just say "the difference" or "the change"!

The sky is not falling; high-quality platforms (Prolific, Verasight, CR Connect) have low rates of apparent bots. osf.io/preprints/ps... But also not zero; vigilance is very much needed!

Where lies the true value of our research? In data from experiments specifically designed to answer careful hypotheses. Forget about large scale and boring datasets that everybody can analyse and produce thousands of silly papers with. The future is in original datasets that LLMs can't produce.

New paper from the lab now out online! @changrun-huang.bsky.social asked whether people use informative pre-cues to up-regulate cognitive control in the spatial Stroop task. Surprisingly, they do not, and we rule out some possible reasons why. Enjoy!

I reviewed 5+ fMRI papers on response inhibition within roughly the last year, and the same points come up over and over again. So I wrote a short note last week entitled "The unique limitations of BOLD-fMRI in the study of response inhibition". You can read it here. osf.io/preprints/ps...

I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred. Apply here: jobs.uiowa.edu/jobSearch/po... Lab website: wessellab.org

Very proud that this is finally out! Come for the new auditory illusion, stay for the brain imaging and speech analysis…..

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

The lesson for all the students out there is that science is a community project. Most of us make individually small contributions to this project. Success is measured at the collective level. Many of our professional (and personal) dysfunctions could be fixed by more fully embracing this view.

Final paper of my PhD 🤗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making. However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

🚨 I'm searching for a full-time research coordinator to join my group & work on precision brain 🧠 network and cognitive control projects at both 3T and 7T. Please rt 🙌 Applications due: Feb. 26 Start date: flexible, as early as June More 👇 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

I'm very excited to announce that the Psychology Department at Brooklyn College of CUNY is hiring a tenure-track line in Cognitive Neuroscience. Applications are being accepted now, and review will begin on or after February 23rd, please repost! #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence cuny.jobs/brooklyn-ny/...

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap. dbrang.github.io/EEG-Dipole-D... Github page: github.com/dbrang/EEG-D...

Over the years, I have written a few Jupyter/Rmd/Matlab notebooks that attempt to teach some statistical concepts, particularly in neuroimaging. You can find them here: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.h..., though I will say a bit more about each one in a number of posts over next few days.

📣 Our lab is hiring a full-time RA/lab manager! Join us in beautiful Santa Barbara to study the neural bases of affect-cognition interactions using fMRI and brain stimulation. Great stepping stone to a PhD in cognitive/affective neuro 🧠🐬🏖️ Apply by Jan 22: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF03048

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

And we're live, Lecture A1 is online. Introduction to Bayesian workflow, generative models, estimands, estimators, estimates, error checking, beginnings of probability theory and Bayesian updating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztbY...

This paper had a pretty shocking headline result (40% of voxels!), so I dug into it, and I think it is wrong. Essentially: they compare two noisy measures and find that about 40% of voxels have different sign between the two. I think this is just noise!

Preprint updated --> Key new results: we found a brain-behavior correlation between performance on an RL task (under short feedback delays) and short-delay RPE signals in the 'cognitive' cerebellum! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here's a new paper in which we analyzed >700,000 eye movements to understand attentional suppression of distracting stimuli. This large dataset helps resolve some longstanding questions about the timing and learning of suppression. @kaitlyndrennan.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now published in the Journal of Neurophysiology: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.... Get in touch if you think this tool could help in your science! We will be developing improvements and extensions over the next year.

I am looking to hire a great postdoc to join our lab in sunny Eugene at the University of Oregon for fun behavioral/fMRI experiments on sensorimotor control in young and older adults. Please share/get in touch if interested! pages.uoregon.edu/mmar/

Looks pretty awesome

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students. I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...
