Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today!

In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%.

Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

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.

Remember when UEG told us “there was no plan B” for further redundancies.

Now we know, from the published Recovery Plan, that at the same time they were proposing over 400 future job losses including over 350 redundancies.

We cannot trust their words.

Vote in our ballot now to protect jobs.

Make sure to stop at Ceren Arslan‘s (@scannedfruits.bsky.social) poster at #ICON2025 today at 3:30! She‘s presenting some of our recent EEG work on audiovisual object storage in #WorkingMemory! 👇

Ceren Arslan @scannedfruits.bsky.social · 23d

Tomorrow afternoon at #icon2025 I will present a poster on feature extraction costs in working memory in an audiovisual context using behavioral measures and EEG based decoding analysis. I will be at the main hall, 1st floor (P2.55). I’d be happy to discuss our results further with you.

It’s been reported in The Courier that the University of Dundee’s Recovery Plan called for the loss of another 450 jobs (390 FTE) in the next year.

50 Voluntary Severance
170 Voluntary Redundancies
170 Compulsory Redundancies

With 110FTE leaving since March and 300FTE now, this would be 800FTE

Hive mind, do I know anyone who has worked the the HCP MEG data before? I am trying to work with MNE Python, but I am hitting some barriers with the HCP head digitization data. I found this toolbox, mne.tools/mne-hcp/inde..., but it hasn't been maintained in the last 10 years.

New data from our lab — Sarah Tune, Iris Borschke, and I come out with modelling the neural fate and the behavioural impact of single clicks in auditory decision making. Beautiful work by
@sarahtune.bsky.social — foreshadowing what is going on in the lab currently.

What underlies this ability to be consciously aware of own breathing?
