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.
www.nature.com
The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next.
New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky

Why does everyone and their uncle think they need to email season's greetings?
I don't want a look back at 2025 for your shitty journal/office/company? How'd you get my email?! 🤨

I encourage every PhD student to set up an academic website, even if they don't feel like they have a lot to put on it. Why? Helps to get discovered by search engines and establish a search-friendly presence.

If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
