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 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.

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*.

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’.

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).

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…?
