After learning two equally structured graphs, an abstract relational map of their shared structure emerges in mPFC — but only after a few days 🧠 Huge thanks to all collaborators, especially @alonbaram.bsky.social for leading this and @behrenstimb.bsky.social for making so much of it possible.

How does the human brain extract abstract structure from experience? We show that sensory-independent relational representations emerge in mPFC over several days. Work with @mgarvert.bsky.social and @behrenstimb.bsky.social now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social: www.cell.com/current-biol...

🚀 We’re hiring - Join our lab 🚀 🔍 Hiring: PhD (75% TV-L) & Postdoc (100% TV-L) 🧠 fMRI, VR, EEG, modelling We combine a range of cognitive neuroscience methods to study flexible behaviour. 📅 Start: Feb 2026 or later | ⏳ Apply by Nov 3! More details: tinyurl.com/ms3a9ajt #CognitiveNeuroscience

✨ I’m so excited and grateful to have been awarded an #ERC Starting Grant! 🧠✨ The project aims to investigate how the brain builds and uses cognitive maps to guide behaviour, how emotions shape these computations, and what this all means for mental health 🧠

We are very proud of our researchers Beatrice Baragli, Jerome Beetz, Jacqueline Degen, Mona Garvert, Jake Greenfield, and Jens Hör: They have been awarded prestigious ERC Starting Grants worth €1.5 million. Congratulations! @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

I'm incredibly grateful to the #ERC for this amazing opportunity, to my colleagues and friends for their support in making this happen and to @uni-wuerzburg.de for the institutional support. I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs soon—if you want in on the ride, get in touch! 💫

Alignment is more than comparing similarity judgments! How well do pretrained neural networks align with humans in few-shot learning settings? Come check our poster #3904 at #NeurIPS on Wednesday to find out
