Everyday visual experience tunes neural processing. Using fixation-related EEG, this new work shows how the N1 preview benefit depends on Chinese readers' prior experience with left-to-right vs. up-down reading. @umaurer.bsky.social

Happy to be a collaborator on this new work by first-author Xin Huang from Urs Maurer's lab. In two combined eye-tracking/EEG experiments, we asked whether rapidly processed magnocellular (M-pathway) information in parafoveal vision plays a special role for word recognition in natural reading.

Together with recent work by @olaf.dimigen.de on using RIFT with a monitor setup, as well as our own new preprint on using a monitor setup to track attention (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), RIFT is now a lot more accessible both in terms of available recommendations and materials.
Tracking attention using RIFT with a consumer-monitor setup
Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) is a recent technique that extends the traditional frequency tagging approach by stimulating at frequencies beyond the threshold of perception (≥60Hz). By doin...

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.
We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.
Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher:

RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
