We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

<TMS best practices>

Hi folks,

Could you please point me to the most up-to-date consensus paper you're aware of relating to TMS safety? Number of pulses / intensities / frequencies / other parameters etc.

I want to take as wide a look at the literature as possible.

Please repost for visibility!

I'm preparing a public talk on the impact of digital technology on attention, and whether there is any evidence behind 'brain rot' (and help the public understand that researchers need public funds and support to work on this issue!). #cogsci, what message would you want the public to hear on this?
