How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation?

#Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

this week at #PracticalMEEG2025 in Aix!

having run an MEG pipeline by trial and error, I was doubting myself between all parameters. lectures on the analysis steps + hands-on application together were very helpful!

& seeing women on stage sharing what they're excited about just hits different ⭐️

A direct neural signature of serial dependence in working memory
Magnetoencephalographic recordings revealed a direct neural signature of serial dependence, that is, an attractive bias of current toward previous representations, which emerged at late, post-encoding...

Consciousness remains a profound scientific challenge.

But progress requires not just defending theories — it requires testing them boldly.

We hope this collaboration inspires others to embrace the spirit of open, critical, shared theory development.. 🧠🚀

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology
