MEG Nord topics span perception, cognition, brain development, disorders, and quantum sensors. Abstract/reg deadline will be October 30, 2025.

We expect to have a few travel grants available for early career researchers travelling from Europe who submit an abstract or are invited for a talk! 🧠📈

If you can't quite place where we are – Aarhus is Denmark's second largest city with a lovely Scandi seaside vibe. Plus, the city's landmarks appear to take inspiration from magnetometer designs. 🤓 We're lucky to have the chance to live and work here!

Positions can start in winter or spring and are based here at Aarhus University in Denmark. This project will be In collaboration with @larshpedersen.bsky.social and @ana-namburete.bsky.social.

Many thanks to @lundbeckfonden.bsky.social & @carlsbergfondet.dk for their support!

Btw there's a Cognitive Science Movie Index that rates films for accuracy – unfortunately it's down right now, I hope just temporarily ...

Pixar's Inside Out is surprisingly good about memory formation and forgetting – Dacher Keltner and Paul Ekman are in the credits!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. They must have done background research with a real MEG lab, reimagining it as steampunk – they even marked fiducials the way we do! They only lose a point for confusing an MRI scan for a CT. 😚

That's all? That'd be a criminal reckless driving charge in much of the world. Here in Denmark you'd lose both your license and your car on the spot...

They found it! Here's the correct citation:
Motokawa K (1944). Die Verteilung der elektrischen Aktivität auf der Kopfschwarte und ihre Beziehung zur Cytoarchitektonik der Großhirnrinde des Menschen. Japanese Journal of Medical Sciences, III Biophysics, 10:99–111.

Actually stay tuned, it seems he might have published two articles in the same journal volume! I've asked my library to see if the other one is there too. :-)

My library found this article (auf Deutsch!) but this plot isn't in there. 😔

BTW a fellow PhD student back in the day, Erik Edwards, became obsessed with Motokawa and summarized much of his work in his thesis. You might be interested to have a look! faculty.washington.edu/seattle/brai...
