NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Happy to share our neuroaesthetics research line, led by @yi-joan-lin.bsky.social: 👇 below is the conceptual cornerstone of the work; proposing a framework that treats aesthetic experience as a multi-component, dynamically evolving process across multiple cognitive levels 362
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 23/07/2026... and finally, a computational angle comparing braille "reading" in feedforward computational models of vision with neural data of human experts to evaluate the role of language processing in reading 👩🏽💻👇 010
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 23/07/2026👇 next to the behavioral work, the paper in the second point investigates whether the brain's reading network tunes to specific visual features of a script or rather to more abstract linguistic content 020
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 23/07/2026👇 Check out this paper if you're wondering whether line junctions are important visual features in learning to read a new script 👁️🗨️ 020

NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Check out this paper on the computational mechanisms behind confidence judgments, introducing a flexible confidence boundary model capturing speed–accuracy effects on confidence 👇 020
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Ever wondered what happens to your #brain when you become an expert at something? 🧠 Check it out at www.nature.com/articles/s41...!nature.comLow-dimensional and optimised representations of high-level information in the expert brain - Nature CommunicationsWhat transforms a novice into an expert? In an fMRI study of chess players, the authors show that expert codes prioritise relational content, are more compressed, and reside in domain-general frontopa... 001
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 19/02/2026How tightly is visual brain activity in category-selective regions linked to our categorisation behaviour? This new preprint shows that even simple FFA activation can predict face categorisation speed 👇 030
Reposted by NeuroSPACEBen Balas @bjbalas.bsky.social · 29/01/2026After a rather long delay, I've finally got a new Science of #Chess post up on lichess! This time I'm looking at a very neat #neuroscience paper (co-authored by @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social) using chess as a model for studying expertise. Enjoy! #cogneuro #PsychSciSkylichess.orgNetworks for expertise in the chess players' brainChess can be an important way of investigating how learning and expertise are manifest in the nervous system 1113
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Very cool study showing that short-term interventions can boost quantitative language in preschoolers! 👇 050
Reposted by NeuroSPACEJuan Linde-Domingo @lindedomingo.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Asking 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! 11826
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 20/11/2025Don’t miss this paper showing how wearables and AI are reshaping attention research, moving us from controlled tasks to the rich, beautifully messy reality of everyday life. And be honest, what's messier than eating spaghetti? 🍝 031

NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 20/11/2025👇 When neuroscience meets computational modeling: check out the paper below for converging evidence revealing how early visual experience (or the lack of it) shapes - yet does not fully define - human object recognition. 👁️ 030
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 13/11/2025New EEG + drift-diffusion modeling study reveals the computations that give rise to our subjective sense of mental effort 👇 040
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Check out this paper from @kobedesender.bsky.social for new insights into how confidence is computed in decision-making 👇 050
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 13/11/2025New preprint demonstrating that expertise emerges when the brain uncovers a domain’s latent structure and reshapes its representational space to express it efficiently. 👇 011
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 13/11/2025EEG + fMRI + smart design = deeper insight into the spatiotemporal dynamics of object representations 👇 030
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Exciting DNN work from our colleagues at @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social’s lab 👇 030
NeuroSPACE @neurospacekuleuven.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Just landed here 👋 We’re NeuroSPACE, a KU Leuven Methusalem project bringing together 4 labs to explore how the brain combines domain-specific knowledge with domain-general cognitive abilities to shape human behavior. Excited to share our science and to connect with other curious minds here! 1243
