Check out the latest preprint from the lab!

This work links neural tuning to durations with perception across the human cortex.

➡️ New preprint out!

Together with @gianfrancof.bsky.social and @dbueti.bsky.social, we describe a cascade of neural response transformations behind our perception of millisecond time.

Extremely proud to see our (@carlienroelofzen.bsky.social & myself) work published! Here we explore how the contrast sensitivity function can be measured, using fMRI! We are able to see effects of eccentricity and polar angle on CS

Our latest work is out in @naturecomms.bsky.social ! We show that numerosity is represented as a “relative code,” which gradually emerges in the frontoparietal cortex. Congratulations to @_tkido (on X) from the @yukoy.bsky.social Lab on his first first-author paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
