My #introduction is overdue. I’m a professor at Penn who studies memory using systems and computational approaches. I’m also writing a book: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What’s our plan to get there? What challenges do we face? #neuroscience #author

Writing has deepened my appreciation for community-based progress. I’m excited to be on this inclusive platform where we can leverage collective intelligence, and work through conceptual blocks together.

Ok, #introduction time!

I lead a research group where we build computational predictive models to understand biological motor control. Most of my work has been on human locomotion, because it is an ecologically relevant task that is challenging to model. Since starting my group at #MIT our scope has broadened.

Our models are based on theoretical concepts in optimization, control, and learning. We always seek to build models that are empirically grounded, and help us distill simple principles.

Hi! I am a cognitive neuroscientist studying how individual experiences are transformed into generalised knowledge. I use #fmri #rsa and #modelling techniques to understand which information our brain uses to structure representations of the world we live in. I am a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Freiburg. #introduction

Hey, y’all. My name is Chris. I’m a geoscientist, working for the engineering company Jacobs. I’m from Derby, but currently based near Manchester, on the side of the Peak District, which allows me to do two things I really like; running and cycling. When not messing fiddling with the Earth, I’m usually found discussing social justice issues with a pint. I’m the woke Black man that your granny warned you about…

Next week we have our third free Raincloudplots virtual workshop - Sign up and join us to learn how to make rainclouds in R, Python, Matlab or JASP! https://github.com/jorvlan/raincloudplots-workshops

#introduction: I'm a #neuroscientist working at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and the Institute de la Vision (Paris); with a teaching appointment in Experimental Psychology at Utrecht University. I work on #vision & #cognition; using #neurophysiology, #neuroimaging, #behavior, & #brain #stimulation. See also http://pcklink.com

#introduction

Hi, I'm a Max Planck Research Group Leader at MPI Leipzig and a Professor for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience and Quantitative Psychiatry at University of Giessen.

My team and I study visual and semantic processing in human brains, behavior, and artificial neural networks. Vision and semantics are complex, so we founded the THINGS initiative (https://things-initiative.org), an effort across >15 labs to collect massive brain/behavioral datasets about objects from all angles.

👋

I'm Chris Baker, a cognitive neuroscience researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health USA interested in all things vision and the brain.

We use neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG), brain stimulation (TMS, tES) and behaviour (incl.eye tracking) to try and understand how the light falling on the retina is processed to allow us to perceive a world full of people, places and things.
#introduction

Time for an #introduction. I'm an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) at the University of York. I mostly study memory and forgetting but also have an interest in spatial navigation. I use experimental psychology, brain imaging, and computational modelling. Also a fan of banging on about research culture and DEI issues, particularly in relation to open science.

Hoping to reconnect with some of the fellow bird migrants as well as new people with similar interests.

Amazing vacancy for a group leader post at the Max Planck in Germany https://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/1568190/2022-11-02-lip-research-scientist
