- Reposted by Eli MerriamNew work from our lab investigating the relationship between repetition suppression, repetition priming and increases in oscillatory power in simultaneous fMRI-EEG. Induced power increases are strongly associated with priming magnitude, supporting a mix of the synchrony and facilitation models.

- Absolutely.
- Reposted by Eli MerriamThis is a vile move. All the more disgusting and infuriating that it’s being framed about “protecting” Jewish students. You know what’s actually anti-Semitic? using Jews as pawns in this disgusting fascist theatre. Don’t take the bait and let it divide us. 😡

If you live in AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC, your reps are on the Senate HELP Committee which has jurisdiction over NIH.

It's like taking away half the shoes in your closet, only it's *all* the left shoes in every pair. Are we supposed to hop on one foot?
- A truly wonderful opportunity!
- 🚨PhD opportunity Fall/Winter 2025🚨 Join me in Geneva Switzerland #unige to learn more about colour perception. Using neuroimaging & computational modelling, you'll be working with an international & interdisciplinary team to understand how we transform light into a colourful world!🧠👁️🌈 #neurojobs
