Psychologist studying human reaction times ( #MentalChronometry) with mathematical models of cognition & electrophysiology ( #EEG, #EMG, #MEG), fanboy of Franciscus Donders.

Postdoc (he/him) @ the Université de Lausanne, Switzerland
Pinned
In this new preprint, in review @elife.bsky.social, we show what processing steps make up the reaction time using single trial #EEG modelling in a contrast #decision task.

In this 🧵 I'm telling the story behind it as I think it is quite interesting and I can't write it like this in the paper...
Decision-making components and times revealed by the single-trial electro-encephalogram https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.25.661505v1
Does anyone have experience/resources on how to build interactive #statistics assignments in #R on a distributed computing server (e.g. running #Rstudio server) for more than 500 students?

New PhD and post-doc job openings!

Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG).

Full details in the job offer below.

Must... Resist... To recode all my python things in Julia to work on main projects... But maybe the speed increase could compensate the invested time?

Any alternative experience on why I should not do it?
This Blogpost covers some of the reasons my lab switched to #julialang

Many are left out, e.g. we simply call any python library/function we don't have in Julia, from Julia! (e.g..mne, scopy etc.). Native GPU made easy. Extending other libraries without editing them etc

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.
Part 1: How do LLMs work?

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.

Really beautiful + elegant study: theory, psychophysics, and careful behavioral modeling lead to super clean dissection of #EEG topographies during perceptual decision making.

Crazy variance makes sense when you have the framework and predictors to explain it!

If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/
#rstats #brms #EEG
Modelling time-resolved electrophysiological data with Bayesian generalised additive multilevel models
Providing utility functions for fitting Bayesian generalised additive multilevel models (BGAMMs) to time-resolved data (e.g., M/EEG, pupillometry, mouse-tracking, etc) and identifying clusters.
