Monty Python understood p-hacking

Bonjour Montréal, pleased to meet you! Look forward to seeing the memory family at #MDRS2025!

JEP: General; Psych Science; Nature Human Behaviour

Let this be a motto for all of us, when we peer review: “Review the manuscript in front of you, not the one you wish existed.” @earlkmiller.bsky.social

I continue to believe sharing example materials is useful in academia, so in that spirit, my tenure statements and CV are now available on our Resources for Researchers website (bottom of the New PI page: www.plasticityinneurodevelopmentlab.com/resourcesfor...)

A very rich, comprehensive resource on multiple memory traces, covering parallel evidence in humans and other animals!

📣 Helpful thread about a great paper alert! Okay - I am biased, but I am super proud of this paper and @dkvarga.bsky.social has done a truly awesome job of running this project (3 separate fMRI studies!). Thanks also to our amazing colleagues for their support.

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫 I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Stratos’ poster on now!

Weirdly satisfying experience to use a hedge trimmer for the first time. Cut it all down. Highly recommend for anger management. #chainsawTherapy

Looking forward to #ICON2025 next week! We will have several presentations on mental imagery, reality monitoring and expectations: To kick us off, on Tuesday at 15:30, Martha Cottam will present: P2.12 | Presence Expectations Modulate the Neural Signatures of Content Prediction Errors

Gutted to miss #ICON2025! Judging by the flood of posts rolling in, it’s clearly THE place to be right now. Stratos is there to represent the lab though! Swing by at poster P6.66 (😈?) to say hi & hear about our latest work, trying to measure directional plasticity in behaviour. Input very welcome!

Looking forward to #ICON2025! Apart from posters (updates coming), we’ll be at the “Sudden Learning Across Systems” symposium talking about factors behind solving visual disambiguation 👀, memory traces of one-shot perceptual learning and more. Excited to share and get inspired by your work! 🚀

Also on the way to #ICON2025 in beautiful Porto? Check the lab’s latest work: @xiongbowu.bsky.social: Talk in SY16, Tuesday 9.00, room Boavista; Aditya Chowdhury: Poster P1.11, Tuesday 10.45 @julia-sc.bsky.social: Poster P3.18, Wednesday 10.45 @tafgmcb.bsky.social: Poster 4.32, Wednesday 15.30

New preprint! 🚨We discuss the long-term memory consequences of fast visual perceptual learning: "From sudden perceptual learning to enduring engrams: A representational perspective" It's so great to work with @jvoeller.bsky.social and the team! Congrats for your first author manuscript, Johannah!

👩‍💻 New preprint out (FIRST one of my PhD journey) with the incredible @lindedomingo.bsky.social @ortiztudela.bsky.social @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social "From sudden perceptual learning to enduring engrams: A representational perspective" 🧠 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Traveling on from beautiful Switzerland to beautiful Edinburgh for #BACN25. Hope to see many of you tomorrow morning, for our symposium on neural re-use of resources for external & internal processing! With @rademaker.bsky.social @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social @larsmuckli.bsky.social & Ed Silson

Very much looking forward to #BACN25 in Edinburgh this week. We'll have five posters from the lab on the first day of conference, so come check them all out! #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition

In Crans-Montana for the SPS conference, and will wake up to this view for the next 4 days… joie de vivre, I say.

New opinion piece! @amirtal.bsky.social and I argue that "wake reactivation" is not a scientifically useful construct; It encompasses nonconscious & conscious processes w/ varying levels of elaboration & diverging consequences, leading to conflicting results authors.elsevier.com/a/1lgli4sIRvW-LQ

For >5 years, the International Sleep Replay Workshops (ISRW) have brought together scientists studying sleep & memory. The next ISRW will be on March 6th in Vancouver (before @cogneuronews.bsky.social). Follow the link for details and to join the mailing list. isrw.bio.uci.edu Pls repost! #sleep

Grant submitted - first as PI in quite a while. Feels good to be past the writer’s block & 100% excited about an idea!

Very happy to announce that our paper “Sensory Horizons and the Functions of Conscious Vision” is now out as a target article in BBS!! @smfleming.bsky.social and I present a new theory of the evolution and functions of visual consciousness. Article here: doi.org/10.1017/S014.... A (long) thread 🧵

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Deadline for these jobs is 5th September, so you've got until next week on Friday to apply! Come join us in beautiful York, complete with Minsters, snickelways, fMRI and OPMs - what more could you ask for?! #neuroskyence #neurojobs #psychscisky #cognition #psychjobs

We are recruiting a new PI at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social, Associate or Full Professor. This is an amazing place to do cognitive neuroscience, in the heart of London. If you or someone you know might be interested, please pass it on. #neuroskyence www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

New paper led by @codydong.bsky.social now out in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, exploring the relationship between memory-augmented LLMs and human episodic memory – see Cody’s post below for a short thread and a non-paywalled paper link! #NeuroAI doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Collecting my first 7T data with Ed Silson & @catrionascrivener.bsky.social. Very exciting!

Despite recent criticism from Quiroga to our claim that Concept Neurons emerge from Conjunctive Coding Neurons we claim: “And yet, the hippocampus codes conjunctively!”. We hope it sparks a smile (and maybe a few debates). Read here: tinyurl.com/3ycv3vj2

🧠 Paper out! We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that: 🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries 🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories! rdcu.be/eui9l

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

🚨 NEW postdoc position 🚨 Join our Royal Society-funded team (3+ years) to work on human memory and salience 🧠 with virtual reality, fMRI, computational modelling and clinical collaborations 👉 www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... Please spread the word! 📣

Excited to share our latest work spearheaded by @anikaloewe.bsky.social & @maritpetzka.bsky.social. 20 min naps increased the chance to solve an insight task if sleep reached N2 stage; but the EEG spectral slope was the best predictor of insight dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... #compneuro #psychscisky

Incredibly excited and grateful to share that I’ll be starting a lab at The Ohio State University this(!) fall! My lab will study human learning and memory, with related interests in sleep, stress, and time perception. More info soon, but do get in touch if you’re interested in joining!

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

What is on your mind when you are about to fall asleep? Help us unravel the diverse ways humans experience this mysterious transition! Please share your unique experiences by filling up this short online questionnaire: redcap.link/DriftingMinds

Proud to share the first preprint of my PhD w/ @barense.bsky.social & Mursal Jahed: “Putting the testing effect to the test in the wild: Retrieval enhances real-world memories and promotes their semantic integration while preserving episodic integrity” See thread! 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

We have a *permanent* position available for a research engineer (ingénieur de recherche) to work in our new MEG-OPM facility. A strong scientific focus is possible. Speaking French is required. If you're interested, please let me know!

Our study using layer fMRI to study the direction of communication between the hippocampus and cortex during perceptual predictions is finally out in Science Advances! Predicted-but-omitted shapes are represented in CA2/3 and correlate specifically with deep layers of PHC, suggesting feedback. 🧠🟦

I am so excited to share that our paper 'A neural basis for distinguishing imagination from reality' is now published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! 🧠✨ See thread below! doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
