I presented some of my research at the recent @acnsau.bsky.social conference in Newcastle!📚 It was amazing to share my work, connect with PhDs & early-career researchers, and learn from experts. Grateful for the inspiring discussions and new insights!

Won an award at #ACNS2024 for my first conference talk! The talk was on object recognition during fast presentations (milliseconds), but I think I presented even faster—less than 5 minutes! 😅 Big thanks to the organisers, volunteers and my supervisors for their support! 🧠✨

I listened to the first half of "Free Agents" on my drive from Brisbane to Newcastle for #ACNS2024 last week. Kevin's reading voice is excellent, but his rendition of John Cleese's Dead Parrot sketch from Monty Python killed me 🤣 Looking forward to listening to the rest over the weekend! 👇

Congratulations to our Young Investigator Award winners: Dr Melissa Sharpe, and A/Prof Nigel Rogasch!
Fantastic work, guys!
Last week attending #ACNS2024 in a nutshell
1. Met some fantastic new people who were so kind & had exciting research!
2. Learnt of fascinating new perspectives and areas of neuroscience
3. Learnt (somewhat) how to navigate a conference solo!
Now to tackle my PhD proposal with new found vigour!
Post #ACNS2024 recovery mode!
Conferences can be socially exhausting & often conversations during breaks don't always turn into lasting connections.
But here's a Starter Pack to help - reply to be added & stay in touch for next year in Melbourne! 🤩 @acnsau.bsky.social

It was a blast to talk #attention and #TeamSport at #ACNS2024 🏀 So cool to connect with different researchers & expand my perspectives on the #brain & #cognition 🧠
Thank you to @acnsau.bsky.social & UON for hosting a brilliant conference!

Pretty hard to sum up #ACNS2024 in a few words so won’t 🤣 but wow what a cool blend and wide range of different cognitive neuroscience topics
One thing about me is, I’m going to use my hands… nearly interpretative dance, to talk about neural homeostatic changes in sleep and how they impact memory outcomes! I had such a fantastic time presenting my 2023 Honours work today! Thank you #ACNS2024 💃🧠😴

Great morning session this Thursday at #ACNS2024! Guiliano Ferla showcasing how AI can be used to to create captivating illustration of complex theoretical concepts.
Does competition from concurrent stimuli change functional activity in the ventral visual cortex? @jesstaubert.bsky.social at yesterday's #ACNS2024 showing that it does 🤩 #neuroskyence @acnsau.bsky.social
Great turnout for the public forum on AI and the Brain, hosted in the Newcastle Town Hall as part of #ACNS2024.
It was great to host Prof. Toby Walsh (UNSW) at #ACNS2024 and learn more about the history and the future of AI!
#ACNS2024 Outstanding Service awards go to Sharna Jamadar and Hannah Keage. Thank you both for your hard work to build up our community!

Can't go to Newcastle without seeing Beach™️ ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Good rejuvenating walk before my Fast Talk tomorrow at #ACNS2024

Learning about different types of intelligence, AI, and biases in STEM in a fantastic public lecture at @acnsau.bsky.social #ACNS2024 with @andrewbarron.bsky.social Muneera Bano and Toby Walsh in #Newcastle @csiro.bsky.social
Bee intelligence and AI by @andrewbarron.bsky.social at @acnsau.bsky.social bees learn faster than our best AI models today! How does a bee with <1M neurons learn abstract concepts? #ACNS2024 #UniversityOfNewcastle #Newcastle
“We are teaching the machines what is reality.” Fantastic public lecture by Muneera Bano at @acnsau.bsky.social #ACNS2024 conference @csiro.bsky.social #UniversityOfNewcastle #Newcastle
It was a pleasure presenting some of my work today on dopaminergic modulation of vigour and mood in PD at #ACNS2024 @acnsau.bsky.social in sunny Newcastle! 🧠☀️
What can cognitive neuroscience learn from AI? Toby Walsh, Chief Scientist at AI Institute @UNSW Sydney providing an afternoon taster leading up to this evening's public forum. What question would you have asked him? And what can AI learn from cogneuro? #neuroskyence #ACNS2024 @acnsau.bsky.social
Perfect timing for a panel discussion on the funding landscape of cognitive neuroscience research here in Australia, given the recent ARC and NHMRC outcomes! Thanks Trevor Chong, Hannah Keage, Katherine Johnson, Frini Karayanidis #ACNS2024 @acnsau.bsky.social
