👁️🧠🧪 Vision takes time. But how does visual information flow through the human brain? Our new PLOS Computational Biology paper uses population receptive field (pRF) modelling to bring the spatial precision of fMRI to MEG, revealing the temporal dynamics of visual areas. 📖 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Non-invasive mapping of the temporal processing hierarchy in the human visual cortex
Author summary Vision doesn’t happen instantaneously, but unfolds over time. While we understand a lot about how the brain processes visual space, understanding how the brain processes information ove...

My first TEDx talk just came out. It's always fun to talk about your own research area to the general audience, and its even more fun when you are lucky enough to be supported by such a platform. Happy to hear your thoughts :-) youtu.be/UyUclyHx8d8?...

Excited to share that my first article is now published in Communications Biology! Humans and many animals have an innate ability to rapidly perceive numerosity—the number of objects in a visual scene. But how does our brain process this fundamental capability? Read the full paper: rdcu.be/eRxMi

Preparing overt eye movements and directing covert attention are neurally coupled. Yet, this coupling breaks down at the single-cell level. What about populations of neurons? We show: EEG decoding dissociates preparatory overt from covert attention at the population level: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

There is a fully funded PhD position at the Donders Institute (Netherlands) on the neuroscience of imagery and perception. I can really recommend working with @peelen.bsky.social (I did a 4y postdoc there). He is one of those annoyingly smart and dedicated researchers, and is real fun to work with!
