Computational Neurophenomenology in a cabin in the alps! March 22-29, supported by my @erc.europa.eu grant #CONSCIOUS & organised by @singhal.bsky.social @robertchisciure.bsky.social & team. Application deadline extended until *December 28*. Pls spread word: www.uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res...

If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, specially targeting conscious vs. unconscious processing, contact me. We are recruiting 🙏🧠 please RT

Movie-watching evokes ripple-like activity within events and at event boundaries Nature Communications - The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human...

🧠 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!

The entropy of the EEG signal offers real-time insights into the 🧠's current state of excitability and activity! Our recent preprint with @joelfrohlich.bsky.social shows this in a #TMS study: high pre-pulse entropy ➡️ larger TMS-probed excitability. Larger TMS-induced excitability ➡️ higher entropy

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 😊

Human high-order thalamic nuclei gate conscious perception through the thalamofrontal loop Human high-order thalamic nuclei activity is known to closely correlate with conscious states. However, it is not clear how those thalamic nuclei and thalamocortical interactions directly contribute t...

This paper is pretty incredible! Simultaneous invasive recordings of cortex and thalamus *in humans* during a visual awareness task strongly suggest that HO thalamus plays a gating role in awareness.
