Do you like RSA analysis, M/EEG and Bayes? Then you'll love Variational RSA for M/EEG, by recently completed PhD student @alexlepauvre.bsky.social from Lucia Melloni's group. It's a method and SPM toolbox for multivariate analysis of M/EEG data. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01784 . 🧵 [1/4]
A figure with 3 panels. Top: A plot of log-evidence for an experimental effect over peristimulus time, as inferred using vRSA. Bottom-left: a condition-by-condition matrix of regression parameters. Bottom-right: condition-by-condition matrix estimated by the vRSA model.

🗞️ Front page news of The Express today: @uclqsion.bsky.social scientists have developed a method for producing “ultra-fast” MRI scans, slashing the time patients need to spend in the machine from 20-30 minutes to less than 7 minutes. @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social
