Interested in support for babies & their caregivers & art therapy?
We've a funded PhD opportunity to explore the role out of Art at the Start in Sheffield, embedded with the lovely Sheffield PaIRS team & supervised by Vicky and Josephine @dundee.ac.uk

Please share!
Very pleased to share our new review in @natrevpsychol.nature.com on integrating cognitive neuroscience and clinical perspectives of metacognition in mental health! With @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social, Lena Jelinek, and Steffen Moritz. (1/3)

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
Out today in Molecular Psychiatry our paper on multiverse computational factor modeling (i.e. a lotta lotta factor analyses). Thread below for the full rundown. Last PhD paper from @celinef.bsky.social YOU'RE FREE!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I always wondered who first got away with calling correlations "functional connectivity". Such a shame that the terminology stuck!

Open postdoc position👈
We have an open position, starting early 2026, to work on an exciting project aiming at better understanding the role of thalamo-cortical brain oscillations in perception with a comparative, cross-species (animal-human) component based on electrophysiology (incl. scalp EEG).
Quantifying rhythmic and arrhythmic brain activity is a hot 🥵 topic. But how independent are the two components from one another? 🤔 In my latest work with @smfleming.bsky.social & @matlandry.bsky.social, I explore the relationship between the two.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
Our oscillations consensus paper is finally out as a preprint 🤩 thanks to everyone involved

The psychoanalysts were right all along
I'd like to try a Dietmar Hamman Gluhwein
We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG.

Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!
A screenshot of a digital article in The Courier. The headline reads: EXCLUSIVE: "Ex-Dundee University chief Iain Gillespie urged to hand back £150,000 pay-out", with a picture beneath of Iain Gillespie former Principal of University of Dundee in a black suit with a brown tie.
Another blow to staff at Dundee Uni.
They ensured security for those who let this crisis happen, but not for the staff who have been suffering months of uncertainty & the threat of job loss. (🧵1/2)
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Martina Kopčanová, Christian Keitel, et al:
Characterising time-on-task effects on oscillatory and aperiodic EEG components and their co-variation with visual task performance
doi.org/10.1162/imag...
Cover figure presenting main results from the paper. Left: altered spectral power and covariance difference between AD progressers and stable MCI patients. Right: multivariate analysis, highlighting the complementarity of MEG covariance spectra, MRI cortical volumes and baseline control measures.
🩺🧠 ✨Excited about our latest work published in @ebiomedicine.bsky.social! In the BioFIND dataset, we found that brain activity provided unique information about progression to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). #neuroskyence Paper: www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...; Thread 🧶 ⤵️
We are taking applications for a 3-year POSTDOC position on the topic of tracking cognitive dynamics using passive smartphone sensor data, in clinical and non clinical samples with the Neureka app gillanlab.com/join-the-lab/ Closing June 1st. Pls share 🔁👍 or reach out with any informal queries!

Interested in the rhythms of the brain? 🧠 Join us on December 11th for an exciting symposium! Accessible online—don’t miss out! #neuroscience
I just preprinted a little perspective piece / mini review on the history of the study of aperiodic neural activity - arguing there is more out there in literature than one might expect!
📜 A historical overview of the study of aperiodic neural activity:

Reduced confidence associated with aging increases information seeking under uncertainty, whereas confidence alterations associated with symptoms of psychopathology do not. Out now w/ Greta Mohr & @robince.bsky.social. #neuroskyence #compneuro #PsychSciSky: rdcu.be/dSPdz
🌟PhD Opportunity🌟
Investigate the links between opioids, other analgesics, and cognitive decline/dementia. Supervisors include researchers at Edinburgh and Glasgow University and the Karolinska Institute! Learn more about this Precision Medicine PhD and apply below!⬇️

Hello again Bluesky - very glad to see people moving over here!
If anyone works on / wants to connect on work related to analyzing / interpreting neuro-ephys signals - specparam / aperiodic / oscillation stuff, etc - drop a comment or msg and I'll follow back!
Following the trend, here's a starter pack of EEG researchers: go.bsky.app/H2URVjv. Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed. The list is very partial and still needs to be expanded, but I hope you find it helpful! 🧠 #EEG #neuroscience #neuroskyence
