Can’t wait to speak at this event, looks like it’ll be really interesting. Big thanks to the organisers!

I was fortunate that I was taught the significance of cover letters in scientific publishing. The cover letter is a hidden part of submission that is critical to get right to have a chance at publishing in some [good and evil] journals. Tune in to this seminar to hear my tips.

Really enjoyed working on this project. These results seem even more pertinent given Science’s recent editorial expression of concern science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A short film about why the dirtiest and most antisocial economic interests dominate our politics. I believe it's the key to understanding the terrible state we're in.

One of the reviewers commented that they were amazed how much we could learn just from the electrical signals on the scalp. I couldn’t agree more - I think that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we can reveal with generative forward modelling.

Our paper on motion direction representation in the visual cortex is published in NatComm. We describe a Bayesian observer model combining information about velocity and orientation signals ('motion streaks') and test it using fMRI decoding and behavior. nature.com/articles/s4146…

New paper out today in Current Biology, led by the awesome Jess Williams, showing that the strength of the tilt illusion fluctuates with oscillation phase. We also give an explanation for those puzzling temporally distant phase effects. authors.elsevier.com/a/1isR93QW8S6E…

Check this awesome study out. Really clever experimental design addresses a key question in vision science regarding the interaction between action and perception.
