We have launched Test & Know, our fundraising campaign to help us expand our testing across the UK. We are asking for a donation of £12 - the cost of testing one substance in our mobile labs.

In this review article, I summarize some of our recent work on the neural basis of visual search in scenes, showing how attention and expectation interactively drive preparatory activity in visual cortex and jointly modulate the visual processing of potential target objects. doi.org/10.1177/0963...

Excellent short piece about causation in the brain by @neurograce.bsky.social
In a complex system talking about necessary and sufficient is not productive.

Claims of necessity, sufficiency don’t work well for studies of complex systems
Early studies on necessary and sufficient neural populations were done on simple invertebrate circuits. Does this logic work for complex outputs?

No mention of the associated #drugchecking service.
If we are serious about reducing drug-related harm, *everyone* needs to know what is in circulation in the local drug market - adulterants, contaminants, fluctuating purity - to avert overdose & poisoning *before* consumption.

Oh I am loving this place! Such a rich source of good academic content and comment. It’s doing everything the other place used to do and more. I feel like the proverbial kid in a sweet shop. Only problem is there is so much I want to read & never enough time! This is a good problem to have though.

NEW on Wonkhe: The government's plan to cut funding for classroom-based foundation years will have an impact on access to our most selective universities. Stephen Leech and Sarah Hale ask for nuance https://buff.ly/3YZZirn
