🚨New paper alert 🚨 Using EEG and decoding analyses we find dynamic effects of expectation during statistical learning, both within and across trials 🧠 @auksz.bsky.social @fedemar.bsky.social Caspar Schwiedrzik elifesciences.org/articles/103...

Here is our latest work on newborns and music perception!

🚨 Join me for a hands-on #iElectrodes tutorial at #PracticalMEEG! 📍 Online • 🗓 Thursday, Oct 30 • 14:00–17:00 CET Learn how to localize intracranial electrodes — and explore many other great toolboxes: cuttingeeg.org/practicalmee... #iEEG #ECoG #SEEG

🤔How does the human brain predict unexpected sounds? Our new study shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as a single unit. Instead, the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex make distinct, time-sensitive contributions. #iEEG #BrainLesion #OFC #LPFC doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Job alert 🚨 Fully funded PhD position available in our Maastricht lab! Are you interested in predictive processing, individual differences, and computational modelling of behavioural and neural data? Please apply! #NeuroJobs vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric...

Just a couple days left to apply for this position! Come work with me @fedemar.bsky.social, @predictivebrain.bsky.social & Sonja Kotz to investigate the neural-circuitry underlying of perceptual inference

Really glad my first MEG paper is out! Orientation-specific sensory signals accompanied falsely perceived gratings, and a shared perceptual confidence code was present on FA and veridical trials. We also found a unique role for increased beta oscillations preceding high confidence FA. Read for more!

A bit less than 2 weeks left to apply for this position! If you are interested in perceptual decisions, top-down modulations, predictions, laminar fMRI - join us for what will be a great collaborative project!

New MEG paper by @jhaarsma.bsky.social and @dotproduct.bsky.social‬! Same design and behavioural results as our 7T layer fMRI study (www.jneurosci.org/content/43/4...), but now shedding light on the temporal dynamics of the sensory signals underlying false percepts. #neuroskyence

Shared and diverging neural dynamics underlying false and veridical perception www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... by @jhaarsma.bsky.social @dotproduct.bsky.social @peterkok.bsky.social; now let's "mistake" meaningful noise as meaningful images through enhanced reliance on top-down signalling?

🚨PhD position alert!🚨 Joint PhD position with @fedemar.bsky.social @predictivebrain.bsky.social and Sonja Kotz, to investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of perceptual decisions vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric... Please share and if you have questions, send me a message!

PhD position alert!!! Together with @predictivebrain.bsky.social and Sonja Kotz we are looking for a PhD candidate to join a great project on the biological foundations of perceptual decisions vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric... Happy to answer any question you may have!

🚨Job alert🚨 We’re recruiting for another PhD position at MaCSBio @macsbio.bsky.social, focused on computational neuroscience. Come work on brain, sound, and computational models, co-supervised by myself and Ryszard Auksztulewicz @auksz.bsky.social 🗓️ Apply by 18 May 🔗 tinyurl.com/bdhtwuzs

My new preprint is out! Using EEG and decoding analyses, we find direct evidence for the Opposing Process Theory of perception, while showing dynamic effects across over time. @auksz.bsky.social @fedemar.bsky.social Caspar Schwiedrzik www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It is really sad how when departments tolerate just one or two bullies, it can completely destroy a place over time, but so many institutes do it anyway 🧪🎢🔭 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It has been said already but…can we try to find a way not to send automatic reminders for reviews on weekends?

Academia: I give you the freedom to work flexibly and be in charge of how you spend your time me: great, thanks Also Academia: Please do these 45 things by tomorrow, also you have class today, did you prep?

Thanks to the continued support from many people, ten days ago I gave my inaugural lecture as professors of sensory circuits and neuro-imaging maastricht university. Was a fun experience, humbling and emotional in many ways…

We are looking for enthusiastic new colleagues!!! Please consider applying if you are a junior cognitive scientists looking for a position that would allow you to develop your ideas and building your lab…

There is still time to apply for this permanent position at our department in Maastricht. Is a great opportunity for those that like to develop methods in cognitive neuroscience and that may not like the prospect of having to write grants….

Do you like to work in collaboration with others, developing methods and approaches? The CN department at the FPN faculty of maastricht university is looking for a permanent data scientist with a reduced focus on grant(s) acquisition. www.academictransfer.com/en/333966/as...

Are you a cognitive scientist with an interest in developing your own research line using neuroimaging as a tool, and in particular MRI and fMRI (at ultra high fields)? Come join the CN department at the FPN faculty of Maastricht University!!! www.academictransfer.com/en/333964/as...

3. The proportion of papers sent to review is unchanged. This seems like bad news. One potential failure mode for new eLife is that nothing changes, except that all power moves from editor+reviewers together to just editor. This number suggests that may be the case.

Things universities have tried to encourage more grant submissions: - improving my "research key words" - offering internal grants for not much money, faculty salary support is not allowed - sending out weekly email lists of funding opportunities Things that would actually help: - free child care
