A new study from @QldBrainInst researcher @AnthMHarris has found that brainwaves can affect visual perception, particularly when distinguishing between objects.

New paper out today in @CurrentBiology, led by the awesome Jess Williams, showing that the strength of the tilt illusion fluctuates with oscillation phase. We also give an explanation for those puzzling temporally distant phase effects.

Introducing https://t.co/zBDFUc48A0, a large language model (LLM) to assist neuroscience research. BrainGPT is trained on the vast neuroscience literature and can be used to optimize study design, detect anomalous results, and evaluate models against broad data patterns. (1/3)

I was recently on a panel with several other professors and we were asked to give some tips to graduate students in machine learning. It got me thinking about why professors are so bad at giving advice. So here are some reasons why you should not take advice from professors.

1/6 What keeps our visual perception stable across sustained time durations, despite a dramatic reduction in neuronal activity?
We are pleased to share our work that has just been published in Cell Reports https://t.co/RR6EC8Fke7 suggesting a plausible answer to this question.

[Anthony Harris @AnthMHarris]

Works beautifully for me

DJ scratching illusion. Move your finger slowly around the striped circle by hovering it just above the screen. You may experience the circle rotating and the spin direction will match the movement of your finger. Does it work for you?

Check out my first preprint “Attention rhythmically shapes sensory tuning” (https://t.co/ZVgLntCvZ0) in collaboration with @iandonovanphd and @lauradugue @DugueLab. Key results in the thread.

Lets talk about a single texture that's been a huge game changer in the world of gaming.

And the crazy part? You probably haven't even noticed it. This texture is literally EVERYWHERE. And there's something pretty special about it that's made it so popular.

Another big🧵

@cm712120 @Alldogsaredead This! The guy’s egotistical style is gross but whatever. The most upsetting thing was the plastic wrapped ice. Why???

you all sneer at armchair psychology, but can't name a better place to do psychology

[Sander van Bree @sandervanbree]

Are neural oscillations an emergent property of the brain? My two cents: sure, but not in the ordinary sense.

When I think of emergence I think of the V-shape in a flock of birds, or life as emerging from matter undergoing biological processes.

@chrisdc77 @cardiffuni @CardiffUCU Interesting. I’ve recently sent through a job application to @cardiffuni . Perhaps I should reconsider.

I'm really baffled at this urge to reduce complex sociocultural and psychological phenomena (like transgenerational effects of trauma) to some kind of molecular mechanism
