Last Friday, iBBA joined forces with ABC at the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, for a vibrant day of talks, posters, and cross-disciplinary discussions. We celebrated the latest advances in brain, cognition, and behaviour research and promoted collaborations between scientists working at the VU and UvA.

Great start of the academic year last Thursday, with our first iBBA colloquium! Together with Leda Cosmides we learnt what it means to be rational and how to properly test for it. Great attendance and wonderful talk! Stay tuned for the next colloquium, info to follow soon ;)

Jelmer Borst and I are looking for a PhD candidate to build an EEG-based model of human working memory! This is a really cool project that I've wanted to kick off for a while, and I can't wait to see it happen. Please share and I'm happy to answer any Qs about the project!

We learned about measuring subjective experience in vision, using visual tasks to understand disorders like gambling addiction and OCD, the role of learning to predict in vision, and how neuromodulators like noradrenaline shape visual inference.

Excited to have Martin Rolfs @rolfslab.bsky.social with us today in Amsterdam to share his work on active vision at the #iBBAColloquium @ibbamsterdam.bsky.social!
A key conclusion: To understand perception, we need to embrace the study of action kinematics! www.nature.com/articles/s44...
