News from ENIGMA-Epilepsy! 🧠

Our latest study links polygenic risk for TLE-HS to cortical thinning in kids—mirroring patterns in adult patients.

Early imaging-genetics insights could reveal interplay of epilepsy risk and phenotypes before symptoms emerge.

No one ever steps in the same movie twice. Anticipatory gaze 👁️ indicate episodic memory seconds before an event occurs. 🧠🐾 Very robust effects across both natural and crafted movies, and of course, after sleep! 😴. Out today in Communication Psychology:

Is it a golden rule that reviewer comments only arrive when you least need them? Waited months… and of course they pop up exactly when everything else is on fire. At least they're nice and constructive 🫠

My brilliant labmate, Keith Dodd, created this non-aggressive denoising pipeline for fMRI data for his dissertation! It has been super useful on some of our high-motion datasets, and I highly suggest folks check it out for their own studies 🧠📈🪲:

The ARC has “announced” an update on the proposed changes to its grant schemes.

Key changes, in response to “nearly 350” submissions” (!) on their proposal, are 👇

Amazing to see how kids-friendly #OBHM2025 was! No raised eye brows but balloon animals and a lot of fun at the exhibitor booths. Maybe we should put the older kids to work next year and let them do some research. What do you think @ohbm-dic.bsky.social?

While it's super chilly here in Newcastle, Europe is hot. Super nice read (in German - sorry) about what universities could do, so that people can think again.
Bei extremer Hitze forschen, lehren, studieren …? Viele dt. Hochschulen haben bislang keinen Plan, der heiße Tage erträglicher macht. Spoiler: „Viel trinken, morgens lüften, luftige Kleidung“ ist noch kein taugliches Hitzekonzept! Dabei ließe sich mehr tun. Konkrete Vorschläge in #ArbeitInDerWiss!
Zu heiß zum Denken: Deutsche Hochschulen brauchen Hitzekonzepte!
Wie sollten Hochschulen auf die extremen Temperaturen reagieren? Hier sind drei konkrete Ansatzpunkte!
