These past few weeks the fight for our uni has taken a new turn. We've lost ~700 staff already. Will it be 1000 in the end, with the management's "Strategy to Recovery"? Unis as a business vs as a place of research & education - coming to a head in Dundee and across the UK. More ⬇️
@scone-neuro.bsky.social has a great review coming soon led by @annekeitel.bsky.social. We summarize major oscillatory mechanisms and discuss open questions across a range of subfields in cog neuro. The preprint should be out soon.
Join us for the first symposium of the OPM-MEG Action Scotland (OMEGAS) initiative - www.dundee.ac.uk/omegas, to take place at the University of Dundee, *9-10 Dec*, and funded by the Quantum ARC quantum-tech-alliance.co.uk #neuroskyence #meg #opm /1
Undoubtedly the most massive group effort I was ever lucky to be involved in. Led by the ever-unwavering
@annekeitel.bsky.social, this preprint synthesizes the status quo of what we (don't) know about neural oscillations. Grateful to be part of the @scone-neuro.bsky.social network. #neuroskyence
2️⃣ In the tracking & reading preprint 📖 we show that the strength of cortical speech and music tracking both predict reading skill (measured through a lexical decision task), which could imply the role of a domain-general temporal processing mechanism for reading.

Kudos to @karlinave.bsky.social and team for seeing this through. Huge replication effort with 13 labs and N = 152. Does the original result hold up? #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #EEG
This letter to Douglas Ross is how staff find out which areas may face module reductions and that 700 people may be affected by the cuts!
Staff receive no communication, courtesy or respect from executives at the University of Dundee.

Very happy and proud about two recent preprints by talented PhD students Sümeyye Sen Alpay and Sarah Allen.
👀Pupil- and gaze dynamics track emotion content in natural speech doi.org/10.64898/202...
📖Cortical Tracking of Speech and Music Predicts Reading Ability in Adults doi.org/10.64898/202...
Our oscillations consensus paper is finally out as a preprint 🤩 thanks to everyone involved

1️⃣ In the eye activity preprint 👀 we not only replicate recent findings that gaze and pupil dilation track naturalistic speech (eg by @quiringehmacher.bsky.social), but also show that this is modulated by the emotion content in speech and the listener's own mood.
