Delighted to share our new preprint! We show that rhythmic light stimulation produces multiplexed oscillatory responses at fundamental and harmonic frequencies that are spatially, temporally, and functionally distinct. Read on for the details [1/6] www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence

I wrote a thing on episodic memory and systems consolidation. I hope you all enjoy it and/or find it interesting. A neural state space for episodic memories www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪

@dotproduct.bsky.social's first first author paper is finally out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! Her findings show that content-specific predictions fluctuate with alpha frequencies, suggesting a more specific role for alpha oscillations than we may have thought. With @jhaarsma.bsky.social. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

Memory might depend on when you look, not just what you see Happy to share a new preprint from my postdoctoral work with Jed Meltzer, @drjenryan.bsky.social, and @rosannaolsen.bsky.social Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Foraging in conceptual spaces: hippocampal oscillatory dynamics underlying searching for concepts in memory www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next. New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08792-4

🧠✨ Preprint alert! Ever noticed how most people (without realizing it) tend to see the left side of space a bit more strongly? In our new study, we show that this subtle quirk—called pseudoneglect—is linked to the asymmetry of putamen, a deep subcortical structure. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Only a few days left to apply for this 3-year postdoc position in Nottingham (deadline Sept 5th!). If you're considering applying please get in touch. If you're already a PI, then repost this!

At long last, the pre-print to our MEG study + RIFT study and the final paper from my Ph.D with @olejensen.bsky.social We show that strong pre-search alpha oscillations are associated with faster responses in visual search www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @thechbh.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Our new paper, “A neural compass in the human brain during naturalistic human navigation” is out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! First-author @zhenganglu.bsky.social led the charge, with Josh Julian and collaborator @gkaguirre.com. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

🚨New preprint from the Dugué Lab! Happy to share our last work on #attention_rhythms, co-led by @cogsenoussi.bsky.social & former Dugué Lab PhD student @lauriegalas.bsky.social, and in collab with Niko Busch 🎉 @upcite.bsky.social | @erc.europa.eu | #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

After you fall asleep in the sleep lab, we can decide what you dream about — as Karen Konkoly showed in her PhD work and just published in this new paper: “Investigating dreams by strategically presenting sounds during REM sleep to reactivate waking experiences” authors.elsevier.com/c/1lWFU6TBG5...

Excited to share our newly published paper! 👇 Massive thanks to @harrington-mo.bsky.social @sacairney.bsky.social @mggaskell.bsky.social

🧠 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

🚨 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! 📣

Out now @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, w/ @akalt.bsky.social & @drmattdavis.bsky.social. Are sensory sampling rhythms fixed by intrinsically-determined processes, or do they couple to external structure? Here we highlight the incompatibility between these accounts and propose a resolution [1/6]

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 👇

As you listen to a story, the meaning of each word you hear relates to the meaning of prior words. But how? We operationalized semantic distance, and identified brain regions that correspond to this rolling summary measure during naturalistic listening. #neuroscienceoflanguage

Finally out in @commsbio.nature.com ! Using MEG and Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) in a classic visual search paradigm we show that neuronal excitability in V1 is modulated in line with a priority-map-based mechanism to boost targets and suppress distractors!

Once upon a time I couldn't replicate a published finding...and decided to do something about it. Little did I know how long it would take to finish 😭...but here we are. I'm super proud of this paper and grateful to the other 68 (!) authors. ❤️ royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Just over a week left to apply for these roles! Postdoc is for 3 years with a possible extension to 5. RA is for 2 years and ideal experience for securing a PhD studentship.

Been told to expect a big grant decision “in June”, so naturally the next four weeks of my life will consist of refreshing my inbox every ten minutes.

Emotions create vivid and lasting memories - but how are those memories organized? We find that negative emotions fragment experience, disrupting the flow of memory. Reframing negative feelings also carves up experiences, but in a way that supports integration and wellbeing. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Super excited that the first article from my PhD research has now been reviewed and recommended by @pci-regreports.bsky.social and is available to read at osf.io/preprints/os...!

This Thursday at 5.20pm we are holding a webinar to reveal the first findings from our project studying how 100 people explore, navigate and evacuate space. Photos below show camera tracking at 2 timepoints in our experiment. For more info and a registration link: www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/res...

Hi Bluesky! First post here. Kicking things off with a new preprint. 🧠 Using human iEEG + pharmacology, we asked: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval? Turns out it’s not. Instead, it may reflect a reinstated encoding mode. Thread below. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

1/2 Just like social groups, human memory is organized in interconnected patterns. Activating one memory can trigger related ones, similar to how information spreads through a community. Could social sharing shape how memories are formed? #PsychSciSky

New paper out! 🎉 “Evolving Engrams Demand Changes in Effective Cues” (Hippocampus). In this opinion piece, we discuss how retrieval processes can be enhanced and offer an alternative to one of the field’s few enduring principles: encoding specificity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Major team effort on phase-locked stim of human hippocampal theta rhythms finally out in the wild! W/ @jkragel.bsky.social @alikwidge.bsky.social and a cast of many. Thanks to the BRAIN Initiative for making it possible. rdcu.be/ej7VE

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Very excited to share the first preprint of my PhD thesis! Together with @tschreiner.bsky.social, we investigated how respiration coordinates signature neural expressions of successful remembering during memory retrieval. 🫁🧠 🧵(1/8)

🚨New article from the #DuguéLab in #PLOS_Computational_Biology, led by @lgrabot.bsky.social! We developed a new model-based neuroimaging approach to study Traveling Waves in visual cortex using MEG-EEG. @erc.europa.eu journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

We’re recruiting for 5 faculty positions in cognitive neuroscience, psychology & animal neuroscience! Exciting science going on @UofG, Glasgow is an amazing and green city with the friendliest people, and you’ll have the stunning highlands on your doorstep! tinyurl.com/mbn6yf56 Please repost!

I'd like to see a revival of panache and artistry in scientific prose style. Since we have to read so many papers, they should be fun and beautiful. I would also argue that this serves the goal of communication: readers will be more likely to remember a striking phrase or image.

Science Alert 🚨: Our paper is now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social - We show that the firing phase of neurons in human MTL doesn’t reflect the order of events, challenging a long-standing theory of human memory. nature.com/articles/s41593-025-01893-7

In our recent @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social forum article www.cell.com/trends/neuro..., we highlight respiration's potential role in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation. With the fabulous @tschreiner.bsky.social and @estebanbt.bsky.social

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Very excited to share that this paper from my time in the Kahana lab is finally out in @natureneuro.bsky.social! bsky.app/profile/natu...

Great to see that our recent paper investigating metacognitive awareness for memory distortions is one of Communications Psychology top downloaded papers of 2024! Check it out here: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Why do we remember so many details of our experiences even when it is unclear if we will actually ever need them? In a new preprint, @marcelomattar.bsky.social and I asked whether this property is adaptive, because what will be relevant in the future often (usually?!) isn’t apparent.
