A nice morning run around Battersea Park!

Our preprint on EEG correlates of decision making in continuous environments is up! Joint work with @Ru_Maria_, @lilwebian, @TomRhysMarshall, and Jill O’Reilly. Find out more about these lovely data at #ccneuro22 later this week… https://t.co/eS1iRGDVlu

Again, another thoughtful and excellent thread about what yesterday’s umbrella review actually told us. It speaks loudly to the motivation and ethical standards of the paper’s authors that they encouraged and gleefully delighted in the misleading and irresponsible media coverage.

@FoulkesFdn Thank you for all the support!

[Sean Cavanagh @SCavanaghNeuro]

Excited to finally graduate from UCL with an MBPhD degree. What an amazing journey over the past 10 years! For the next steps, I'm looking forward to starting work as an academic foundation doctor in South London next month

1-year research assistant position now available in cog comp neuroscience. Help run behavioural, EEG/MEG experiments, possibly VR - exciting time as our lab establishes itself at @OxExpPsy. Ideal stepping stone to subsequent PhD. Please RT, and apply! https://t.co/Nz8scCY1oY

Delighted to have our review “The Shallow Cognitive Map Hypothesis: A Hippocampal framework for Thought Disorder in Schizophrenia” out fully open access here: https://t.co/eJdTPryPjJ …(1/6)

Inhibiting NMDA receptors derails neural circuit models of decision-making, but does it also mess with actual decisions in the human brain? Our pharmacological study of decision-making under ketamine is out today in @NatureComms. 🎉 Summary thread below:

@LHuntNeuro @roxana_zeraati @_rdgao Thanks Laurence ! This does sound very interesting!

[Philipp Schwartenbeck @Schwartenbeckph]

Very happy to share a summary of my postdoc work with @behrenstimb: https://t.co/F3dh7YJT2r. We’re interested in how brains build representations of wholes out of reusable parts. Like how does the brain (de-)construct a visual scene, or a novel object? 1/

[Sean Cavanagh @SCavanaghNeuro]

@roxana_zeraati @LucasEnkrateia @neuralreckoning Thanks! Also well done for a really interesting paper!

[Roxana Zeraati @roxana_zeraati]

Excited to share our recent work on how selective attention modulates intrinsic timescales of local spiking activity in visual cortex and its underlying network mechanisms https://t.co/EUNcsMJlki

#tweeprint + some background on intrinsic timescales👇

[Laurence Hunt @LHuntNeuro]

New review just out. A potted summary of my first 10 years in science. Thanks to @FENSorg for the opportunity to write this - and to the colleagues and mentors who’ve made it such a fun ride along the way https://t.co/e9bWShsOKJ

[John Murray @johndmurray]

Latest preprint from the lab! "Geometry of neural computation unifies working memory and planning" by senior PhD student Daniel Ehrlich.

(There's almost too much conceptual unpacking for a tweetprint, but I'll give it a try!)

[Christos Constantinidis @c_constan]

We experimental scientists are often seduced by the elegance of theory. An elegant theory doesn’t always turn out to be true, though. This new preprint tells the story (1/10)

Excited to announce that my PhD research is now out in @Nature. We characterise a medial-frontal network for novel choice in primates involving a grid representation of value https://t.co/6hxFp4xhMw W/ Matthew Rushworth @MKFlugge @davidefolloni @LennartVerhagen @jerome_sallet 1/8
