Yesterday at #ICON2025 I got to present our poster with #EttoreAmbrosini, @palencianoap.bsky.social, and @mruz.bsky.social on flexible task representations. I loved the chance to share our preliminary results and hear such thoughtful feedback!

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.

The what and when of visual surprise:
EEG shows that high-level visual surprise emerges rapidly and modulates neural responses ~200ms after stimulus onset.

We are pleased to announce our next Time-resolved Neuroimaging (EEG+) #CIMCYCsession which will be held by Paula Pena. She will present the results of her work www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

No prior experience in EEG is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to discuss ideas. Save the date!

New preprint! In this study, we assessed the reliability and validity of the measures intended to capture the "habit construct" in the forced-response task and the aliens outcome-devaluation task.
