✨You are motivated to work on neurodevelopment: we would love to hear from you to prepare a grant proposal together (Marie-Curie, Fyssen...)

Thank you @lapate.bsky.social

How hierarchical structures affect the when (what, where) of event memory? Hint: temporal compression 👇
A first virtual reality study by @matthewrlogie.bsky.social as part of experience-project.eu
Congrats!
It’s out!
📣New paper out! We successfully replicated our previous work (Azizi et al., 2023), demonstrating that alpha activity is a marker of contextual changes during resting-state.

A very warm (albeit wintery) welcome to @vigano.bsky.social in the Cognition & Brain Dynamics team 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 !
We're very excited and will follow w/ team science updates of @brainthemind.bsky.social!

Looking forward to talking about using VR and EEG to study the 'when' of memory with @grassocamille.bsky.social and @virginievanw.bsky.social. Thursday the 8th of January at 11.45am. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPUB...

1/n We have discovered that bees can keep track of time duration!
Bees can discriminate long 🟡🟡 vs short🟡 flashes, a bit like the "dash" and "dot" of the Morse code.
Check our new paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... and videoclip youtu.be/hsGxU65OMQk?... @preparedmindslab.bsky.social
Congrats @davidpoeppel.bsky.social it is very well deserved!
Time is relative and brains define simultaneity (TWS) and meaning (TWI) through temporal windows.
1/5 How does the brain turn the low-dimensional, universal grid cell metric into the rich, diverse codes needed for memory in hippocampal place cells? 🧵

A substantial number of female physicists in the first half of the 20th century contributed to quantum physics. For the history of physics to properly recognize their work, new approaches are needed, argues Andrea Reichenberger in Nature Reviews Physics. go.nature.com/41mjQuJ #WomeninSTEM ⚛️ 🧪

This essay by Nisheeth Vishnoi is a thoughtful meditation on the nature of science and a rebuttal to the notion that AI systems are going replace human scientists anytime soon. Worth reading.

Fab time in Italy for TEX Sissa hosted by @dbueti.bsky.social & co, then lovely sciencing w/ @bottinilab.bsky.social.
Grazie mille for your hospitality and inspiring discussions!
Thank you for a didactic and information-rich talk @aidanhorner.bsky.social !🧠
Two postdoc positions in the lab within the ERC Synergy project "Chronology" in collaboration with S. Ostojic, M. Jazayeri and V. van Wassenhove @virginievanw.bsky.social . Two focuses: sound sequences representations across the brain & novel all-optical technology. Contact: brice.bathellier@cnrs.fr
Episode II of how are durations stored in working memory:
Besides replicating our previous findings, we find that
alpha power reflects a universal signature of WM load and mediates recall precision, even for abstract information like duration

Our study is out!
The number of durations in a sequence, not the duration of the sequence, affects its recall precision in working memory.
