📢 New paper out in @nathumbehav.nature.com: we identify a previously undescribed fast thalamic oscillation (~19–45 Hz) in rare intracranial human recordings that appears specifically during wakefulness and REM sleep — but disappears during NREM sleep. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Asking informally: does anyone know someone who might be interested in a postdoc focused on understanding changes in memory representations driven by attention using EEG? ⚡️Thanks!

@brittawestner.bsky.social is talking about #OpenSource software in academia. There's not enough room for people focusing on this, which is a problem for the development of new software, but also their maintaining (which is especially problematic when others build on your software...)! #OpenScience

An important commentary on the state of M/EEG software and the perverse fact we all rely on something which there is little reward in writing and maintaining. This needs to change. That, or we never allow these authors to ever get on a plane together.

While maintenance is a big part of the software life-cycle, user support can be just as time consuming - if not more so. Support needs can be reduced by providing (and maintaining) decent documentation, but this is also not something that funders seems to consider important.

An important call from a lot of people I worked together with on MNE Python. If you use free open source software for your research, please read this. It's a lot of work building the tools that we as scientists use. In turn, we can help them by e.g. citing them correctly.

Came across this piece of advice, which I've heard time again in the past, but I'm actively working on incorporating in the new year. The author hit the nail right on the head about the feeling we get when writing feels so high stakes. Consistent writing as a practice reduces that feeling.
