📢 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...

Short and sweet / new preprint led by PostDoc Johannes Wetekam: temporal predictions alone increase response readiness, spectral predictions enhance sensitivity >> both combined synergistically increase the perceptual benefit!

Now out in iScience: Alpha power indexes working memory load for durations How does the brain store 'durations' in working memory? 👇👇👇 www.cell.com/iscience/ful... Collaborative effort between @brainthemind.bsky.social and MNE-Python/INRIA.

We are looking for an interested student to work with us during an internship on the interplay between implicit timing and hearing for four to six months (full time, including financial compensation) : brainthemind.com/wp-content/u...

Zotero-users please help: How can I overwrite the ordering of citations (using APA style) for a case like this: (Smith et al., 2020; Jones et al., 1999; but see Albert & Smith, 2022; Fritz et al. 1998) – neither classical search nor AI could help me with this, and it really annoys me

Episode II of how are durations stored in working memory: Besides replicating our previous findings, we find that alpha power reflects a universal signature of WM load and mediates recall precision, even for abstract information like duration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🔽 co-authors below

Alpha power indexes working memory load for durations
Timing, that is estimating, comparing, or remembering how long events last, requires the temporary storage of durations. How durations are stored in working memory is unknown, despite the widely held ...

Another appeal to OPM-, SQUID- MEG researchers. I try to find all people interested in brain magnetism on bluesky. Please respond if you identify as such or tag people who are. It's not a starter pack so there's no limit. Please repost and engage♥️ #psychscisky 🧪 🧠🟦 🤖🧠 🧠📟 🧠📈 bsky.app/profile/did:...

First time I see 'childcare grants' at a big neuroscience conference. Kudos FENS! So much needed to facilitate this core academic activity for parents and enhance visibility. www.fens.org/careers/gran...

If you previously read our work on 'Abstracting time in memory' you might want to check out the revised preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... A curious mind (YS) found a coding mistake that led to a general update, and earned her co-authorship. I. Mangione, T.W. Kononowicz, Y. Shen, and @vvw.bsky.social

#HiSciSky Happy to be here and looking forward to exciting and friendly scientific discussions! I am a researcher at Neurospin, France, interested in human timing and time perception and audition. I use psychophysics, EEG and MEG to study the behavioral and neural dynamics of temporal cognition.
