A new #bmm release is available on #CRAN. With this version, #bmm now covers basic response time models. This release contains three new models plus several usability features. Here's what's in it 🧵 venpopov.com/bmm/ #rstats #bayes #openscience

New PhD studentship available! Come join the excellent @neuromurphy.bsky.social lab for a very cool project exploring how the brain learns to make decisions that are not tied to specific sensory modalities or movements. In collaboration with @seanfw.bsky.social and myself! bsky.app/profile/neur...

There are still a few spots available for the Twelfth Model-Based Neuroscience and Cognition Summer School, which will take place from 10–14 August 2026 at the University of Amsterdam. Be quick — the remaining spots will be filled on a rolling basis, so make sure to register soon!

New paper out: Trial-level sequence modeling reveals hidden dynamics of dual-task interference. We decoded, at the trial level, the sequence of cognitive operations people take when multitasking. We found that how cognitive operations interleaved across tasks predicted RT and accuracy!

A very nice little conference in the memory of a brilliant colleague Laurence Questienne. Consider attending if you're into cognitive control, performance monitoring and listening to talks while seeing the Mediterranean sea

When recording experimental data, have you ever: 1) overwritten data? 2) changed the experiment and forgot when? 3) had a student leave the lab leaving a mess of dataset? 4) noticed how everyone has their own way to transfer data? We published a solution: LSLAutoBIDS - open science by design. 🧵

Barman et al. describe LSLAutoBIDS, an open-source #Python package that implements an automated workflow for data integration, curation, versioning, and publishing: doi.org/10.52294/001... #OpenDatasets #SpecialIssue @benediktehinger.bsky.social

Recommended, great lab also!

Happy to share our new preprint: Uncovering the representational geometry of durations Is time represented along a single mental timeline? We combine behaviour + EEG to show that duration is organised in a richer, multidimensional space. w/ @lnalborczyk.bsky.social & @virginievanw.bsky.social

OK folks, this is a very convincing EEG artifact rejection method both theoretically and practically from my short experience. It's the only method I tried that gets rid of pervasive artifacts in a dataset I'm currently analyzing!

Very interesting and cool joint modeling! My understanding is: estimate inter-trial variability of drift rate in DDM and prey that it's not also another underlying mechanism that generates slow errors (as is probably the case)

Super excited to share that our paper, “Multiple Partially Overlapping Neural Modules Orchestrate Conflict Processing,” has been accepted for publication in Imaging Neuroscience! 🎉 1/n w/ @tgro.bsky.social @manuelvarlet.bsky.social Edmund Wascher, Patrick Gajewski direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

"If everyone thinks technological trends are inescapable, they probably will become so. That is why those serious about the human prospect should reject the rhetoric of fatalism and demand something more substantial."

A new meta analysis from the lab based on an open meta-dataset we have curated in the past few years

"AI" is not a stochastic parrot.🦜 I wrote this piece a couple weeks ago, but it was hard for me to finish up given AI's role in society and war over the past few weeks. I should share it at some point though. Not perfect, but here it is. medium.com/@margarmitch...

Pressure to use genAI for #ECR is quite high, I feel it weekly... ethical, ecological, economical, privacy- and cognitive-related worries keeps me from joining that ship. I need more time to research not something that creates the illusion of reasoning, if that costs grants or positions, let it be.

Based on our WhereToPublish database, we were curious to see if the APCs depend on the publisher type and with relatively no surprise at all, the journals that are for-profit are way above: For-profit journals = 2635 +/- 37€ (mean +/- sem) Non-profit & University Press journals = 1996 +/- 63€ 1/4

Dear all, I'm happy to present you a side project done with @diegoharta.bsky.social @phylogenetrips.bsky.social & Lucas Baudouin regarding the publication landscape in Biology: wheretopublish.github.io 1/4

We show that synesthesia is sensory and automatic in nature: the pupil scales with the brightness of experienced synesthetic colors. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Now in its new dress @elife.bsky.social (convincing & valuable in round 1). If anyone wants to pick up the method, happy to share & explain!

Does anyone have experience/resources on how to build interactive #statistics assignments in #R on a distributed computing server (e.g. running #Rstudio server) for more than 500 students?

Check out our new paper which isolates a human brain signal that specifically tracks the growing urgency to commit to a choice pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41611534/. This one was a long time coming! Sterling work from @harveymccone.bsky.social and a bunch of past lab members!

Very interesting and solid study on the contribution of the earliest #EEG index of information processing*, i.e. the C1, to decision-making! *or at least one of the earliest? @elife.bsky.social

Only two days left to submit your abstract for this year's @mathpsych.org meeting. Some things to consider: 1. The conference is in Canada. 2. If you cannot attend in person, there is a virtual track. Consider submitting there! You can pick the track during the submission process. See you there!

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.

Does anyone have experience/resources on how to build interactive #statistics assignments in #R on a distributed computing server (e.g. running #Rstudio server) for more than 500 students?

New PhD and post-doc job openings! Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG). Full details in the job offer below.

Must... Resist... To recode all my python things in Julia to work on main projects... But maybe the speed increase could compensate the invested time? Any alternative experience on why I should not do it?

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to join our group. Join us to study how the human brain processes and recognizes music with iEEG recordings. Please share and apply! neuro.inf.unibe.ch/menu/announc...

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊 Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

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...

Hello friends! In 2025 I wrote 5 grants and aiming to keep it up in the new year! Anyone willing to share a Dutch Research Council VENI FULL proposal example with me? (especially a successful one from recent years?) #neuroskyence #cogsci #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #Psychiatry #Netherlands #VENI 🙏🙏🙏

I'll be presenting this poster on the 14th of January at the Alpine Brain Imaging Conference in Champéry 🇨🇭🧠. Come by if you're around (if not too bad there will be plenty of snow ⛷️)!

Feeling previous-postdoc-home sick now

Really beautiful + elegant study: theory, psychophysics, and careful behavioral modeling lead to super clean dissection of #EEG topographies during perceptual decision making. Crazy variance makes sense when you have the framework and predictors to explain it! elifesciences.org/articles/108...

🚀 Deadline for this is this Sunday! 🏃‍♀️

2025 ended with a blast as the version of record of the paper was officially published by @elife.bsky.social at 19h19 on the 31st of December 🥳 doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Be prepared for some cognitive control and modelling follow-ups in 2026 and a happy new year to y'all.
