Woolgar-Lab

Led by @AlexWoolgar, we study the neural basis for cognitive control, underpinning the incredible human capacity for flexible and diverse behaviour.

Happy Halloween from @LabWoolgar !

Goodbye and thanks to Sichao Liu - we enjoyed having you join the lab this past year, and hope the next stages of your Swedish Research Council fellowship go brilliantly.

We wrote a functional guide to TMS-fMRI, by consensus, with >30 authors! When, why, and how to concurrently stimulate and record brain activity for cog neuro and clinical research. Great to have such a lovely collaborative community pushing this forward! https://t.co/3Y37KIh4vX

Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9

Fascinating presentation from @rhodricusack capturing infant neural representation as reflecting self-supervised learning, at Birmingham workshop on Synergising the Human Brain and Artificial Neural Networks

[Woolgar-Lab @LabWoolgar]

Some of our lab are on tour today to Birmingham, looking forward to this workshop!

[Ole Jensen @olejensen.bsky.social @OleJensenOHBA]

Workshop on "SBA: Synergising the Human Brain and Artificial Neural Networks", 26 April (you can also join online) at the University of Birmingham. Organized/sponsored by @SMQB_UoB, @TheCHBH and the IIDSA.

Yesss! We are so delighted to keep you around for a few more years and can't wait to see where this research goes! Many congrats again :)

[Moataz Assem @MoatazAssem]

Thank you all. I am really happy and still can't believe it. Here is to 5 years of exciting research on working memory with @LabWoolgar (TMS-FMRI), @RodBraga (ECoG-FMRI), and Van Essen/Glasser/H.Kennedy/@NeuroecologyLab (NHPs). Watch this space for recruitment posts.

Research assistant opportunity (6 months): Come and work with us on a TMS ⚡️ project looking at causal and temporal role of prefrontal areas in selective attention. More details: https://t.co/jq688RGPsb DM @Jade_BJackson to chat.

[Senne Braem @sebraem]

We're looking for a new PhD student to come and work with us on the topics of cognitive control and reinforcement learning! Deadline April 26th. For more information, please see https://t.co/SF5MmupJGC. @GhentCCN

[Woolgar-Lab @LabWoolgar]

We are seeking a postdoc with strong analysis skills! With the superb @GwilliamsL, we will use ML decoding of EEG from autistic non-speakers listening to an audiobook, to study receptive language. More details and EOI here: https://t.co/Nt0adB5NPK Please RT!

[Woolgar-Lab @LabWoolgar]

Something really special: We have a 4-year postdoc position open, using neuroimaging to study potentially hidden cognitive abilities in non-speaking autism. M/EEG, decoding, receptive language, cognitive control https://t.co/UBQ88I7oYy DM @AlexWoolgar to chat. Please RT!

[Hamid Karimi-Rouzbahani @HamidRouzbahani]

Now published. This work investigates three ways of using representational connectivity analysis to evaluate potential transfer of information across the brain. A great collaboration with @AlexWoolgar (@LabWoolgar), @rikhens and @hamed_nili.

[Catriona Scrivener @catrionascriv]

Come along to the #ohbm Multivariate Approaches session on Thursday morning (yes, after the club night) to see more simulation results from @TGrootswagers and @AlexWoolgar - we looked at the benefit of creating pseudotrials using trial averaging and resampling. Poster WTh579

Super excited about the first international TMS-fMRI workshop, in person, in Cyprus, this May. Concurrent TMS-fMRI users unite! Let's learn from one another. Register here: https://t.co/U0xpikPGfN

Organised with @evaferedoes @MartinTik1 @Chris__Wind

[Cllr Olaf Hauk @OlafHaukLibDem]

Very happy to announce our symposium "Multi-dimensional functional connectivity in EEG/MEG: old and novel methods" @OHBM, organized with the amazing @AlexWoolgar and @rikhens, and featuring the no-less amazing @AlessioBasti, @Hamed_Nili, @eringoddard18, Setareh Rahimi. @mrccbu

[Hamid Karimi-Rouzbahani @HamidRouzbahani]

Multiscale activation patterns of EEG (as quantified using Wavelet transformation) are very informative about semantic object categories and recognition performance https://t.co/drIr89zwS0 @AlexWoolgar @LabWoolgar @AcademicEEG
