How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation?
#Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

preprint alert 🚨
1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

Proud to share this new meta-science article—our analysis of 255 preclinical opioid addiction studies highlights a pressing need for better transparency and reproducibility. Big thanks to Justine Blackwell and @alexh.bsky.social – it was an honor working with you on this project! :)

I can highly recommend this opportunity for postdocs in cognitive neuroscience 👇
Awesome postdoc opportunity Mannheim/Heidelberg!
Option A: chose from the exiting projects proposed by us
Option B: propose your own project
--> get two years postdoc at Germany's oldest uni with some of the best neuroscience facilities in Europe!

New preprint on "Attitudes Toward Open Science Practices"!
We asked 596 German psychologists about their worries and hopes towards open science practices!
ECRs reported more worries AND more fears, but the more you use OS the less worries and the more hopes you have.

An article about data visualization was retracted 1.5 years after I pointed out errors.
The notice says that "concerns were raised".
I spend dozens of hours contacting authors and editors, reproducing analyses, and following up on ignored emails.
But I'm not mentioned in the retraction notice.
