🚨 New preprint!
One idea, many ways to say it – but does your brain track those options while you speak?
Using LLMs, we put this to the test.

We show for the 1st time that the brain represents multiple alternatives simultaneously in both listening and speaking.

🚀Excited to share our project: Canonical Representational Mapping for Cognitive Neuroscience. @schottdorflab.bsky.social and I propose a novel multivariate method to isolate neural representations aligned with specific cognitive hypotheses 🧵https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.01.673485v1

How reliable is OPM-MEG, and how does it compare to other neuroimaging modalities? 🤔
In a new preprint with @s-michelmann.bsky.social, we evaluate the reliability of OPM-MEG within & between individuals, and compare it to fMRI & iEEG during repeated movie viewing. 🧠

Reliability and signal comparison of OPM-MEG, fMRI & iEEG in a repeated movie viewing paradigm
Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) offer a promising advancement in noninvasive neuroimaging via magnetoencephalography (MEG), but establishing their reliability and comparability to existing metho...
