I'm very excited about this recent study, led by @pieterbarkema.bsky.social. We find that stimulus representations in the deep layers of V1 can be affected by *later* information: postdiction. See Pieter's thread for more information - and of course the preprint! @jhaarsma.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your #fmri results? Have you been worried about potential reproducibility issues?
Well, this new @natmethods.nature.com article with 40+ coauthors shows how the simple change to transparent thresholding helps both. Go Figure!

We revisited awareness in Decoded Neurofeedback using meta-analysis + LLM semantic analysis of Ps reports. Ps seemed unable to identify the trained target but their strategies were aligned with it!

In contrast, I think we should #ReadMore. Time is (possibly) beginningless and it is often the case that what we think is a new idea has already been thought or said before.

When I was an undergrad researcher, a prof told me he considers someone a scientist only when they've "produced more science than they've consumed." At the time, I didn't realize this is an insane view, nigh unquantifiable, and (if quantified) almost surely a criterion that prof fails to this day.

It was such a rewarding experience to share a little something at a Pint of Science event on consciousness. A huge topic, slightly terrifying to tackle, but also incredibly fun to share with people!
And a big shout out to my friends & colleagues at BCBL for their support & help! :)

for detection tasks we often systematically estimates sensitivity wrong. we need to control for unequal variance in models, but we often don't coz it needs extra data
