New preprint ! 🎺 👇 We show that objects can facilitate scene recognition irrespectively to their semantical link to the scenes. TMS to Object-selective LOC eliminated such facilitation! Congratulations to Aaron for his first paper coming from a chunky master thesis project!

I'm very happy to share that this is out!! Besides their reusability in research, I hope that this carefully curated dataset, with its accompanying descriptor paper, will be a useful resource for training students in fMRI analysis.

New peer-reviewed paper w/ @mheilbron.bsky.social, @predictivebrain.bsky.social & Jakub Szewczyk! Pre-onset brain encoding has been taken as evidence that brains–like LLMs–predict upcoming words. We show that the same signatures arise in systems that cannot predict. (elifesciences.org) (1/8)

Really nice experience being interviewed on hyperscanning together with Anne-Kristin Solbakk and Sigurd Alnes by Elise Kjørstad. When we measure brain activity from multiple people at once, the brains synchronize. 🔗 www.forskning.no/hjerneforskn... @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social @uio.no

Når forskere måler hjerneaktiviteten til flere samtidig, skjer det noe rart

– Plutselig ser man at det skjer ting mellom mennesker som man ikke kan se, sier forsker.
