Open postdoc position👈
We have an open position, starting early 2026, to work on an exciting project aiming at better understanding the role of thalamo-cortical brain oscillations in perception with a comparative, cross-species (animal-human) component based on electrophysiology (incl. scalp EEG).

We put out this preprint a couple months ago, but I really wanted to replicate our findings before we went to publication.
At first, what we found was very confusing!
But when we dug in, it revealed a fascinating neural strategy for how we switch between tasks

The study suggests a few metacognitive states correlate with rational behavioural adjustments; this might help steering behaviour towards optimality.
