Very proud to announce this. I’ve lived in Hall Green/ Moseley for over 40 years. Birmingham is a wonderful, vibrant, down to earth, caring city and I’d love to get the chance to champion us all in Parliament. #timeforchange #forafairdeal ⁦Liberal Democrats⁩ birminghamlibdems.org.uk/news/article/p…

We hope this work aids future research on PAF's links to many cognitive and sensorimotor factors, including #pain perception. Thanks to all coauthors!

How fast can we identify word meaning in the parafovea during natural reading? Already ~100 ms before saccading to it! - as we show in our MEG study using rapid freq tagging from @theCHBH. But how does this relate to the N400? 🤔Explanation👇👇👇doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

My little baby Ava in the babylab School of Psychology, University of Birmingham Do you have a baby and want to help research? 👉[email protected] Never too young to get involved with #science❤️

My baby girl has already started her academic career!

🌟So happy to share our preprint!🥳Do alpha oscillations exert local inhibition? In our EEG/MEG study, we show that for cross-modal interactions, alpha activity modulates information at later stages of the processing stream. Ali Mazaheri The Centre for Human Brain Health doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Our EEG and MEG studies challenge the idea that alpha-band activity (~10 Hz) inhibits early sensory regions. Our effects were first observed in EEG, then replicated with MEG, pinpointing cortical sources👇👇👇

Doing some summer lectures at 🇧🇷 Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina 🇧🇷 Super fun experience, meeting some lovely students. And my kids think Florianopolis is paradise ☀️⛱️

As Shibu Shelat argues, the real-time triggering method (looking at you Megan deBettencourt) can catch errors, allowing for the systematic study lapses and memory encoding. A short, but sweet mini-review worth a read! 10.3389/fcogn.2024.1460349

🚨Publication day is always a good day!🚨 Brain-to-brain coupling forecasts future joint action outcomes🧠🧠 published in iScience journal with Ali Mazaheri & Katrien Segaert You can read the full article (summary in previous thread) open access here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

One of the most technically demanding studies I've ever been involved in, but the journey from conception to publication was incredible.see thread for pics of the journey and our observations on what we can learn about cooperation by examining two brains working simultaneously👇

I have never had a successful maxi cosy to bed transfer.... Today was no different

It took a while, but this paper with Nathaniel Daw is now published in Nature Communications. Reviewers had many good comments, so lots of new stuff here, especially on the computational mechanisms of how people dissociate volatility from stochasticity: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Big breakthrough in memory research! A new study reveals 3 distinct processes in episodic memory: item familiarity, context familiarity, and recollection. Context familiarity is a new discovery with unique brain patterns & behaviours cell.com/iscience/pdf/S…

Exercise training in older adults improves cognition🏋️News: now we demonstrated there's benefits for language!🤸 Randomized-controlled trial shows exercise leads to faster language comprehension in monolingual older adults -mediated by fitness increases: doi.org/10.1080/138255…

Great honour and looking forward to an extended research visit to talk to colleagues in Taiwan and a keynote at the Annual Conference of the Taiwan Society of Cognitive Neuroscience!

We are pleased to announce that the ACORN study (identifying patients at risk of post-op pain and opioid use) has joined the National Institute for Health and Care Research Portfolio birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/acor… Ali Mazaheri The Centre for Human Brain Health

An important study looking at whether we can predict opioid addiction in patients in long term pain management. Led by Ali Mazaheri, funded by Wellcome Leap and supported by BHP Research FIRST University Hospitals Birmingham #TranslationalResearch #ClinicalTrialsDay
