#CuttingGardens Frankfurt began on Monday! 🌍 So far we joined the other gardens worldwide for the global program on developmental EEG, aperiodic and oscillatory power spectra, travelling waves and brain aging. @cuttingeeg.bsky.social

Very excited to share that our MEG study is out! We identified two functionally distinct alpha components using ICA, which are differentially modulated by attention and show opposite relationships with task performance. @haegenslab.bsky.social

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

New paper out in J. Neuro! We used MEG and pattern classifiers to ask: if a memory is reactivated in the brain, does that mean you'll recall it? Short answer: no. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... Read on for the details! [1/7] #neuroscience #memory

Here’s a thought that might make you tilt your head in curiosity: With every movement of your eyes, head, or body, the visual input to your eyes shifts! Nevertheless, it doesn't feel like the world does suddenly tilts sideways whenever you tilt your head. How can this be? TWEEPRINT ALERT! 🚨🧵 1/n

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

this week at #PracticalMEEG2025 in Aix! having run an MEG pipeline by trial and error, I was doubting myself between all parameters. lectures on the analysis steps + hands-on application together were very helpful! & seeing women on stage sharing what they're excited about just hits different ⭐️
