I spent Saturday at the Turn the Tide science festival with Kathryn talking about neuroscience research 🧠

The highlight was the kids! They always end up asking the most interesting questions.

Thank you to Truro and Penwith College for the invite 🌞

Oscillatory control of cortical space as a computational dimension Chen et al. show that alpha/beta oscillations form spatially structured patterns across the cortical surface that encode task context and dynamically gate the expression of sensory information in spik...

New paper! Flexible cognition can arise when oscillatory activity organizes where information can be expressed in neuronal spiking.

Ireland’s Far Right Growing, Driving Escalating Anti-Immigrant Violence Ireland’s far-right landscape is entering a dangerous phase, marked by rising violence against vulnerable communities, organized protest activity, and deeper integration into transnational extremist n...

A new report documents how far-right disinformation in Ireland is driving real-world violence, as 13 active extremist groups fuel attacks that are amplified as propaganda by global networks.

Photo shows two blue post it notes. Note 1 says "The examples very helpful. Engaging and not boring. Love a hydrated queen!". Note 2 says "I find visual learning easier so really appreciated the examples and pictures of graphs. Love a hydrated queen =) Don't have anything bad to say."

Just wanted to share a teaching moment that made me smile.

After my 4-hour stats lecture, I asked for feedback. Among the comments, two wrote: "Love a hydrated queen."

It was validating that I managed to connect with students even during a heavy stats session!

Dose, scan, repeat: Tracking the neurological effects of oral contraceptives We know little about how the brain responds to oral contraceptives, despite their widespread use. I am committed to changing that: I scanned my brain 75 times over the course of a year and plan to…

To better understand how oral contraceptives affect the brain, neuroscientist Carina Heller volunteered herself as a subject. She plans to make her data—from her many brain scans, blood tests and more—openly available.

Hello! Nice to meet you :)

Hi everyone! I just joined BlueSky and I think it is time to make my first post.

I'm Krithika, a health behaviour and neuroscience researcher. My work focuses on developing brain-computer-interfaces, and I'd like to connect with anyone curious about this field!

Nice to meet you :)
