Decided to try out that new hip barbers in East Oxford this morning

Exciting developments up at OHBA…

Another view of the top floor cafe.

Place feels a lot more like a real working building than a year ago. Really feels ready to be handed over in six months' time. It'll be very exciting when we're in.

The staff cafe. Views are lovely. If this place had free coffee it would be amazing.

The large lecture theatre, which can be divided in two.

The small lecture theatre. About as well attended as my average lecture, to be fair.

The view of the Dunn School from the cognition shared office area is actually really rather nice.

The palatial corner office, aka "the Watkins room". @kateewatkins.bsky.social

Space to hold lab meetings. Swish goldfish bowl.

This is literally going to be my office next year. Exciting.

A 'town centre'. Space to mingle with the biologists.

Inside the atrium. Fancy inflatable roof on top.

And, if you don’t want to read it because of all the above - then do at least take pity on us for having this as our “eLife cover, featuring your latest paper, to print and share”

This study was led by two very wonderful (former) lab members, Maria Ruesseler and Lilian Weber. Ably assisted/co-supervised by @tomrhysmarshall.bsky.social and Jill O'Reilly.

Second – this is where the real fun begins – we use convolutional GLM approaches (pioneered by the likes of @edmundlalor, @benediktehinger) to explore how the time-varying fluctuations in the *noise* impact upon the time-varying fluctuations in the *EEG signal*.
October 26, 2023 at 9:47 PM
Curiously, while this differs a little bit due to our experimental manipulation, it differs *substantially* across participants. And we can measure it really reliably/consistently in individual subjects.

First, we can look at the noise that *precedes* choices made by participants, and directly examine how they are recency-weighting a history of past sensory evidence to make their choices. We can fit an exponential decay to this ‘sensory integration kernel’.
October 26, 2023 at 9:44 PM
We get participants to perform a continuous signal detection task. Are the dots moving now, are they not? Keep looking for 5 minutes at the stimulus, and let us know whenever you think they are. (OK, perhaps it’s not like the real world. Bear with me).
October 26, 2023 at 9:43 PM
The paper develops a new approach for studying neural correlates of how we make decisions environments that continuously evolve across time, rather than being neatly broken up into trials. A bit like the real world, y’know…?
