I both love and hate football. I'm a wreck 🤣

We used resting state fMRI to explore functional connectivity in visual cortex, in people with & without central visual field loss. We found selective deficits in the central loss group, with reduced connectivity between regions with central eccentricity biases - central V1 & face selective regions.

I have many fond memories of my time at YNiC and met incredible people along the way - a lot who are friends for life. Excited to see how YNiC evolves and hopefully will be back for the 30th anniversary 🤪

I had my first MRI scan at YNiC as an UG student in 2011, completed my first MRI project for my UG project in 2013, did the MSc cognitive neuroscience 2013-14, and then worked in YNIC as an RA, PhD student & technician before finally leaving in 2021. Now, I'm an external collaborator 😄

Sounds like an excellent day! I'm curious - do you have the same coffee order each time, or do you mix it up? 🤔

I have a couple of days like that next week, and I can't bloody wait! (But, it also feels too good to be true 😅)

So, what's next? In just under a month, I'll be starting a lectureship at the University of Leeds. I'm excited for a new challenge and look forward to meeting my new colleagues very soon. 😊

I have gained so much in the 3yrs working at Hudds - friends for life, huge amounts of experience for a first faculty position, & confidence. The latter is again thanks to some incredible people who always believed in & encouraged me when imposter syndrome emerged... 🧵
