In two studies, we show that 'Language regions' and 'the language network' are the result of indiscriminate averaging (🗣️➗🧠), leaving only input regions and #connectivity hubs coordinating variable whole #brain distributions of activity: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New from #RSOS - We are more likely to be confidently wrong about #COVID-19 than our general knowledge, which influences health behaviours. Read more here: ow.ly/i2Nv50PIfNP Matteo Lisi

We're proud to fund Dr Michael Crossland’s research on youth mental health. He's working with young macular disease patients to tailor support and develop youth-designed resources to maximise wellbeing. #WorldMentalHealthDay Read the full story: brnw.ch/21wDnAy

📢Exciting new results📢 We found topographic maps for object-related information! What we call Contentopic Maps🗺️! See the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… more to come soon!

New paper, just published in JAD, exploring the role of social media in mental health (anxiety & depression) during the pandemic; specifically its capacity to connect & disconnect. @PeterFonagy TessaMarlijnDekker Georgia M UCL Child Vision Lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Awesome work from Hunter Schone who collected longitudinal data in patients undergoing a planned amputation Almost no change in cortical hand representation before and after amputation even 6 months after surgery

Check out our new paper! The ability to recognize Mooney object images develops surprisingly late, showing that the role of prior knowledge changes drastically during childhood. This work was led by the amazing Georgia M, check out her thread for more details on the study!

If you’re a globally outstanding scientist the visa/health cost of moving to the uk is now 21x higher than 🇫🇷 and 34x higher than 🇩🇪. A very big disincentive to creating the productivity, jobs and growth that science in 🇬🇧 brings. We are allowing ourselves to be outcompeted

New study finds that a widely available oral supplement can slow progression of Geographic Atrophy by up to 55% over 3 years. #AMD Led by Tiarnan Keenan and team NIH NEI with co-author Pearse Keane of UCL Institute of Ophthalmology Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust INSIGHTeyehub bit.ly/3LvlYrW

🧵New preprint with cvnlab, @tnaselar & @tknapen: How does the brain connect vision and touch representations to infuse vision with body-related meaning? TLDR: We found high-level visual cortex is tiled with maps 'multiplexing' vision and touch. tinyurl.com/seesoma 1/n

New preprint! With Georgia M Laura Haye Matteo Lisi John Greenwood (@jagreenwood.bsky.social) The LAB Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ TessaMarlijnDekker biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We explored the tendency to experience complex hallucinatory imagery in older-age adults using experimental techniques (Ganzfeld/ganzflicker)

Delighted to be at #dartp2025, where we launched Statistics for Psychology Using R with authors Alasdair and Matteo Lisi! BPS DART-P

Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions. Work with Zejin Lu | 陆泽金 Sushrut Thorat and Radoslaw Cichy arxiv.org/abs/2507.03168
