But how does visual information flow through the human brain? Our new PLOS Computational Biology paper uses population receptive field (pRF) modelling to bring the spatial precision of fMRI to MEG, revealing the temporal dynamics of visual areas. 📖 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.101443421 Jul 2026 06:43 +0000at://did:plc:3jr5uh57kucjayk6a7c4ecek/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr57ewjc7c2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/sergedumoulin.net/post/3mo3gwb34pc2x🧠 PhD position: computational brain origami. Fully funded 4-year PhD on a new NWO-funded project combining 7T MRI, population receptive field mapping, and computational neuroscience to understand why human brains fold the way they do. 📢 https://vacatures.knaw.nl/job/Amsterdam-PhD-Student-in-Biologically-Inspired-Computational-Visual-Neuroscience/1355234555/ #PhD #Neuroscience #Hiring12 Jun 2026 09:37 +0000at://did:plc:3jr5uh57kucjayk6a7c4ecek/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo3gwb34pc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/sergedumoulin.net/post/3meo7k4j4kk2fIn sports, we celebrate 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Everyone else gets lumped together. Why? Using 7T MRI, pRF modelling, and artificial neural networks, we show that tuning underlies ordinality perception, with most neural populations preferring early ordinalities. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1237-25.2026 🧪🧠12 Feb 2026 14:33 +0000at://did:plc:3jr5uh57kucjayk6a7c4ecek/app.bsky.feed.post/3meo7k4j4kk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/sergedumoulin.net/post/3mdzg5sh6ws26🎓 15 fully funded #PhD positions in EU-funded Doctoral Network. 🧪🧠 We lead Project 7 (@spinozacentre.bsky.social & @nin-knaw.bsky.social): 4-year PhD combining 7T MRI + MEG with computational modelling of vision & individual differences.
