Great start of the weekend (1/2): our (Noor Seijdel & @TomRhysMarshall) primer/review on rapid invisible frequency tagging is out in Cerebral Cortex! We review recent work using this technique, and lay out some qs for future work --> academic.oup.com/cercor/advance…

Here are some key references, organized by domain (for the fMRI work, most, though not all, studies rely on individual-subject analyses): 15/n I.A.B Alexander Paunov Anna Ivanova Hope Kean Olessia Jouravlev Rachel Ryskin Cory Shain Tamar Regev Zach Mineroff Saima Malik-Moraleda Xuanyi (Jessica) Chen +others ❤️

Our lab is presenting multiple posters at #snl2022. First up is Noor Seijdel on oscillations, attention + audiovisual integration of speech and gestures using rapid invisible frequency tagging at poster B50. Come by for a chat!

Recording of my talk BRAMS "Beyond Broca: Neural Architecture and Evolution of a Dual Motor Speech Coordination System" now available. facebook.com/BramsMontreal/…

For those obsessed with 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 this looks like a must read! From a brief glimpse it really looks fantastic. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper out w/ Judith Holler! We used dual-EEG to demonstrate that face-to-face spatial orientation induces a special ‘social mode’ for neurocognitive processing during conversation, even in the absence of visibility --> sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀? Outside of sensorimotor cortex it's incredibly challenging to pin down what "brain areas" really are. Check this beautiful quote from Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 and I. Blank about the challenges with Broca's area, one o the first brain areas studied: 🧶

The life of a neuron is anything but simple — a live image movie from our lab!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻. In this paper I discuss a framework to think about *distributed processing* in the brain. Part of a special issue with great accompanying commentaries. Very grateful to postlelab for organizing this. direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/3…

Giving a lecture on bipedalism and my mind will never cease to be blown by this wild adaptation. 📽️California Academy of Sciences

How does the brain encode signals of distress and prosociality from others? Our Turku PET Centre and UCL ICN collaborative project figured this out using large-scale multi-experiment fMRI with naturalistic stimulation, now out in NeuroImage: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

🚨New preprint alert! Very excited to share our protocol on how to combine dual-EEG and audio-visual recordings to study naturalistic human communication: osf.io/cnu2q/ Judith Holler lindadrijvers.bskyapp.social

Our findings with Darek Asanowicz about theta activity in the visual cortex in response to self-face, have recently been published in Scientific Reports collection "Face Perception" edited by wonderful Ida Gobbini! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Amazing free resource from the wonderful Uta Frith & Chris Frith - their new book on social cognition The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social here: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monog…

I had a great time at #SNL2023. Big thanks to everyone for this amazing experience in Marseille 🙌

I was looking at some pyramidal neurons from the prefrontal cortex today in the microscope... most of them are not so pyramidal, usually more pear-shaped 😁? Additional markers: microglia (cyan), astrocytes (🟣), nuclei (🔵)
