So... hey everyone. I'm Tom.
I study neuronal oscillations and their role in attention and decision-making, mainly using MEG and brain stimulation in human volunteers.
I'm a relatively new assistant prof at @thechbh.bsky.social, Birmingham, UK.
Birmingham is a lovely place. Come visit 🙂

Today, the Donders Institute celebrates its #750th #PhD #thesis. The full mosaic of all those thesis covers looks so good, we believe it deserves a spot in a museum.

Neat! Folks arguing for a move from verbal theories into more formal theories in the context of environmental psychology.
Seems like something @irisvanrooij.bsky.social and friends would support... see neat tutorial paper here psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-...

There are 3 Oxford-based post doc positions for this Wellcome Trust project that will be advertised soon!
If you have experinece in neurostimulation (tms/tus) and/or modelling of cogneuro data in humans do contact one of us (me, @mkflugge.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social, Jacinta OShea) to discuss!

An international collaboration fails to replicate one FUS (/TUS) protocol previously thought to change motor cortex excitability.
We're firmly in the phase of 'okay, so what *really* works?' with FUS. Great to see these kinds of efforts to find robust effects 👍

Temporal dedifferentiation of neural states with age during naturalistic viewing - Communications Biology
Movie fMRI data reveals age-related lengthening of neural states in visual and prefrontal regions, reflecting reduced temporal differentiation while preserved alignment with perceived events suggests stable coarse event segmentation.
