So... hey everyone. I'm Tom.
I study neuronal oscillations and their role in attention and decision-making, mainly using MEG and brain stimulation in human volunteers.
I'm a relatively new assistant prof at @thechbh.bsky.social, Birmingham, UK.
Birmingham is a lovely place. Come visit 🙂

Neat! Folks arguing for a move from verbal theories into more formal theories in the context of environmental psychology.
Seems like something @irisvanrooij.bsky.social and friends would support... see neat tutorial paper here psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-...

These are great people. Go work with them.
There are 3 Oxford-based post doc positions for this Wellcome Trust project that will be advertised soon!
If you have experinece in neurostimulation (tms/tus) and/or modelling of cogneuro data in humans do contact one of us (me, @mkflugge.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social, Jacinta OShea) to discuss!

An international collaboration fails to replicate one FUS (/TUS) protocol previously thought to change motor cortex excitability.
We're firmly in the phase of 'okay, so what *really* works?' with FUS. Great to see these kinds of efforts to find robust effects 👍

Got a collaborative grant to review/sign off hours before the deadline once.
Discovered a reference to 'innovations in sustainable agriculture' which had been missed in every previous edit.
It was a neuroscience grant.

They're also robust to name changes.
Like you can just log in and update your name, and there is an 'also known as' box for people who need to retain connections to previous names / have multiple names.

That's my intuition too. I think if I was a reviewer I would suggest inverting a blue/pos red/neg colormap.

Personally, for diverging maps I like dark-mode ones like Berlin from @fabiocrameri.ch (again, because I'm used to blue = negative, red = positive from jet).
And for sequential I like viridis and inferno because I'm pretty basic 🙂
