What happens in the brain when we manipulate our thoughts?

We asked 30 epilepsy patients to mentally invert short melodies.

Intracerebral #iEEG recordings suggest brain synchrony and sensory inhibition are key for mental manipulation:

Ever slam on the brakes after seeing a speed trap? Or better yet, slow down ahead in anticipation?

In our new paper w/ @anask07.bsky.social in @cp-iscience.bsky.social, we use #iEEG to study the neural basis of reactive and proactive control in medial and lateral PFC.

Randolph is fantastic, and this will be an incredible opportunity to work on cutting edge science! Definitely consider applying
New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

An insightful & enjoyable conversation with computational cognitive scientists Dr @olivia.science & Prof @irisvanrooij.bsky.social about their paper 'Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia'

Give it a listen❗
Share this & the paper w university leadership & administrators❗
Loved how I got to clarify that the 5 principles in section 4 of the paper were nothing new. They came straight out of The Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, that every scientists in The Netherlands already ought to know. All we did is apply them to AI. www.nwo.nl/en/netherlan...

as an experiment in academic internet stuff I made a 'new-auditory' list for folks interested in audition, hearing, speech, music etc

anybody can join at groups.google.com/g/new-audito...

the 30-year-old AUDITORY list is v cool but has many drawbacks, not least that it runs on 30-yr-old tech
