2️⃣ In the tracking & reading preprint 📖 we show that the strength of cortical speech and music tracking both predict reading skill (measured through a lexical decision task), which could imply the role of a domain-general temporal processing mechanism for reading.

1️⃣ In the eye activity preprint 👀 we not only replicate recent findings that gaze and pupil dilation track naturalistic speech (eg by @quiringehmacher.bsky.social), but also show that this is modulated by the emotion content in speech and the listener's own mood.

Very happy and proud about two recent preprints by talented PhD students Sümeyye Sen Alpay and Sarah Allen.

Join us for the first symposium of the OPM-MEG Action Scotland (OMEGAS) initiative - www.dundee.ac.uk/omegas, to take place at the University of Dundee, *9-10 Dec*, and funded by the Quantum ARC quantum-tech-alliance.co.uk #neuroskyence #meg #opm /1
Undoubtedly the most massive group effort I was ever lucky to be involved in. Led by the ever-unwavering
@annekeitel.bsky.social, this preprint synthesizes the status quo of what we (don't) know about neural oscillations. Grateful to be part of the @scone-neuro.bsky.social network. #neuroskyence
Our oscillations consensus paper is finally out as a preprint 🤩 thanks to everyone involved
arxiv.org/abs/2507.15639
@scone-neuro.bsky.social has a great review coming soon led by @annekeitel.bsky.social. We summarize major oscillatory mechanisms and discuss open questions across a range of subfields in cog neuro. The preprint should be out soon.
This letter to Douglas Ross is how staff find out which areas may face module reductions and that 700 people may be affected by the cuts!
Staff receive no communication, courtesy or respect from executives at the University of Dundee.
None.

Kudos to @karlinave.bsky.social and team for seeing this through. Huge replication effort with 13 labs and N = 152. Does the original result hold up? #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #EEG
Thanks for creating this - would love to be added too :)
We have reached 300 participants in our population study! ✨
Read more about this milestone here: brainwaves4hearing.wordpress.com/news. Thanks @tanjucka.bsky.social and Rosanne for making this possible 💟
Here’s a visualization of all the curse words in real time, which is oddly satisfying:

Oh nice, haha, thanks 😆
Thanks Maëlan! Can you add me too please?
I'm looking to recruit a PhD student (Oct 2025 start) to work on a project looking at the range of cues that guide accurate sentence comprehension. Unfortunately the funding opportunity is just for students who would pay UK fees. If you know any suitable applicants please tell them to email me.
Tableau with dates, and further information as available on the linked website.

Please forward to everyone interested!
Please welcome @scone-neuro.bsky.social to bluesky. The Scottish-EU Critical Oscillations Network connects brain rhythm researchers since Jan 2022. Based at University of Dundee Psychology. Funding: Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE). More on sites.dundee.ac.uk/scone/ #EEG #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky
1/ After a day of recovering from #CuttingEEG2023, time for a huge appreciation post for everyone who helped us made it happen: First, props to our fantastic venue who gave us shelter and kept us nourished - visit the DCA if you are in Dundee! www.dca.org.uk
Summary of findings
I'm excited to share our preprint on musical rhythm processing 🎵🎵 We show that cortical tracking is influenced by pitch predictability, expertise & enjoyment.
💙 Thanks to @johannarimmele.bsky.social @ckeitelsci.bsky.social and all the others in this huge project 💙

I don't see enough Black voices on this platform -- maybe I haven't found them yet? Let's try something together, if y'all feel like it:
- If you're a Black scientist on Bluesky, feel free to respond here and I'll follow you
- If you're not, please share the responses (and/or this post) to amplify
Absolutely love this work! ❤️ Check out the fantastic new preprint on links between breathing and pupillometry by @ckeitelsci.bsky.social @danlikesbrains.bsky.social Joachim Gross.
