We secured a grant from Lund University, allowing us to invite two collaborators, Karine Malyesheva and Illia Zarubin, from Taras Shevchenko University Kyiv for a week. Great discussions on future possibilities.

That was an exciting week with NAC (Natural and Artificial Cognition) and the SweCog (Swedish Cognition) conference in Lund!🤩

We had the opportunity to present our research on eye tracking and multi tasking, social inferences, how our brain extracts specifics and gist, and war memories in Ukraine.

So lovely to reconnect with my former colleagues from Lund Memory Lab at #ICON2025 in Porto — and seeing data from our MSc thesis featured on a poster with @linniplidot.bsky.social. Looking forward to my talk on hippocampal neurofeedback training this Saturday! 🌞🧠

Don't expect simple mappings between mind and brain.
Check out this piece I wrote for Aeon.

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with Subbu Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia www.nature.com/articles/s41... that integrates 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this vital function.@mrccbu.bsky.social sky.social #neuroskyence #neuroscience

Interested in why some people are more susceptible to develop trauma-related symptoms than others and what roles the autonomic nervous system and cognitive control might play?

You might find some answers and probably even more questions here:
