Impressive extension of Alex Lepauvre, et al’s work!!
An amazing collaboration with @uclqsion.bsky.social spearheaded by @alexlepauvre.bsky.social! This is also one of the many spinoff initiatives in @arc-cogitate.bsky.social to build open, standardized open, standardized practices for cognitive neuroscience data collection and analyses.

Do you like RSA analysis, M/EEG and Bayes? Then you'll love Variational RSA for M/EEG, by recently completed PhD student @alexlepauvre.bsky.social from Lucia Melloni's group. It's a method and SPM toolbox for multivariate analysis of M/EEG data. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01784 . 🧵 [1/4]
