Our MEG study on statistical learning of distractor suppression using frequency tagging is finally out on @SfNJournals. Together with @zhigalov_ax, Clayton Hickey and Ole Jensen (@neuosc) 🥳🥳🥳 doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

Curious how #MEG is used to study #consciousness? In this MEGIN Masterclass, @ferrante_oscar and @yilingsp reflect on lessons from Cogitate, offering a bts look at design, challenges, and broader implications for the field. Register👇 marketing.megin.fi/MEGIN_Mastercl…

Wanna test your consciousness theory, in a massive adversarial collaboration (@ArcCogitate)? Call @ferrante_oscar, @RonyHirsch, & @LepauvreAlex (don't call, but you'd be in good hands!) Integrated information theory vs. global neuronal workspace theory braininspired.co/podcast/211/

In this episode of “Brain Inspired,” @pgmid talks with Oscar Ferrante, Rony Hirschhorn and Alex Lepauvre about putting integrated information and global neuronal workspace theories of consciousness to the test. Listen now: thetransmitter.org/brain-inspired…

What a week! 🚀 Our @Nature paper x.com/ArcCogitate/st… is out, and we discussed the results together with @RonyHirsch and @ferrante_oscar at the brain inspired podast [x.com/_TheTransmitte…]! Thanks to all the @ArcCogitate members for making this possible!

💭 Ever wonder what it really takes to pull off a global, preregistered, adversarial collaboration on consciousness? 🎙️ Out now | Brain Inspired podcast episode 211 is a BTS peek into the ideas, challenges, science & team dynamics of our Nature paper. 🔗 braininspired.co/podcast/211/

Just popping in to share that I’ve got a paper in Nature. Off again!

🚨 PhD opportunity! 🚨 I will support one application for the MIBTP doctoral training program this year, joint with @thepsychologist. Please get in touch by Jan 7th via email (CV and cover letter) if you are interested in doing a PhD in decision neuroscience. Please RT! (1/2)

Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd

New PhD scholarship opportunity for an exciting project on cognitive maps and causal inference! findaphd.com/phds/project/c… The project will have a fab supervisory team with @brain_apps and @froemero1 and will take place at @TheCHBH and @UoB_SoP.

🚨PhD funding alert for UK/ROI-registered healthcare professionals🚨 Exciting opportunity to join our lab to research conduct disorder + maltreatment using large international datasets. tinyurl.com/3wy9whpm with @JohnTullyPsych @TheCHBH @IMH_UoB @UoB_SoP @LES_UniBham pls retwt

Phew! WHAT a four days that was... We're so pleased to have hosted QMAG, QMEG and MEG-UKI 2024 at @unibirmingham @TheCHBH. I know I had a fantastic time and I hope you all did too. Here's some shoutouts to the hard-working people who made the event possible.

📢Job alert! We're looking for an enthusiastic research fellow to join our Mood Disorders team (MHM Midlands Translational Centre @MHM_MTC): edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat… We are looking for a skilled candidate with expertise in sleep and mood disorders. @IMH_UoB @PsychMarwaha

Today's sponsor shoutout for MEG-UKI is @CercaMagnetics Cerca’s fully-integrated and wearable OPM yields high quality MEG data and provides researchers opportunities that were previously inaccessible; such as lifespan compliance and movement studies. cercamagnetics.com

❗SCAM ALERT ❗ We are aware that a fake e-mail is circulating asking students to make payment of outstanding tuition fees by 26/10/24. The email and message is fake. DO NOT reply and DO NOT send any money to the account.

Don't miss these opportunities to work with a fantastic PI at the @TheCHBH!

Excited to deliver Release 3 of The Open MEG Archives:🧠🧲 644 participants ∣ over 150 hrs of task-free recordings ∣ incl. Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, chronic pain + 444 healthy controls ∣ defaced structural MRI volumes ∣ individual questionnaire data. mcgill.ca/bic/neuroinfor…

Is consciousness rich or sparse? The answer is unclear, but free verbal reports were recently suggested as a way to support the idea that experience is rich. Can they be used as evidence for richness? I’m excited to share our work claiming otherwise (a 🧵) doi.org/10.1093/nc/nia…

Today's sponsor shoutout: @Brainbox_Neuro Brainbox specialise in tailored and integrated non-invasive brain stimulation and brain imaging solutions including TMS, tES, TUS, Neuronavigation, EMG, EEG, fNIRS and more. They have also generously sponsored the MEG-UKI poster prize.

Today's sponsor shoutout: @FieldLineInc FieldLine Medical will be available throughout MEG-UKI at their exhibitor booth. They are keen to talk to you about their wearable HEDscan MEG system, including high density helmet and configurable user interface. Looking forward to it!
