Super happy to share my very first first-author paper out in
@sfnjournals.bsky.social! We show content-specific predictions are represented in an alpha rhythm. It’s been a beautiful, inspiring, yet challenging journey.
Huge thanks to everyone, especially @peterkok.bsky.social @jhaarsma.bsky.social

@dotproduct.bsky.social's first first author paper is finally out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! Her findings show that content-specific predictions fluctuate with alpha frequencies, suggesting a more specific role for alpha oscillations than we may have thought. With @jhaarsma.bsky.social. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖
Contents of visual predictions oscillate at alpha frequencies
Predictions of future events have a major impact on how we process sensory signals. However, it remains unclear how the brain keeps predictions online in anticipation of future inputs. Here, we combin...

On Wednesday at 10:45 @pazbartal.bsky.social will present:
P3.48 | The Influence Of Scene Context On Perceptual Reality Monitoring
Presenting preliminary results that suggest that imagery is more vivid and more likely to be confused for perception within congruent scene contexts.

Looking forward to #ICON2025 next week! We will have several presentations on mental imagery, reality monitoring and expectations:
To kick us off, on Tuesday at 15:30, Martha Cottam will present:
P2.12 | Presence Expectations Modulate the Neural Signatures of Content Prediction Errors

🚨New preprint🚨 out with the dream team @matanmazor.bsky.social @giuliacabbai.bsky.social and @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social!
We report a novel and robust effect across five different datasets: vivid imagery is reported faster than weak imagery.

Unreal? A Behavioral, Physiological, and Computational Model of the Sense of Reality
An intriguing aspect of the human mind is our knowledge that our perceptions may be false. Our frequent exposure to non-veridical perceptions such as those found in dreams, illusions and hallucination...

What an opportunity! I am really grateful to work with the amazing @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social, can't wait to see the groundbreaking research ahead!
I'm excited to announce that @pazbartal.bsky.social has started as the very first PhD student of the imaginerealitylab.org! Paz received the prestigious UCL Research Excellence Scholarship to study how reality monitoring is influenced by the environment. Looking forward to working together! 🧠
