So... hey everyone. I'm Tom.
I study neuronal oscillations and their role in attention and decision-making, mainly using MEG and brain stimulation in human volunteers.
I'm a relatively new assistant prof at @thechbh.bsky.social, Birmingham, UK.
Birmingham is a lovely place. Come visit 🙂

Always love seeing people make a big noise about their open M/EEG datasets.
Go have fun with this one 👍

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.

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.

It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information.
We'll use the answers to plan our future work.
Please share!

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.
The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.
