📢 Postdoc opening 🧠⚙️💭
The Computational Brain Team at NeuroSpin/INM, Paris (PI Florent Meyniel) is hiring a postdoc to study the human neural representations of uncertainty with MEG and MEG-fMRI, as part of a multimodal deep phenotyping project: tinyurl.com/538fmkz8 and 👇
The postdoc will work with Florent and me on the MEG data and fMRI-MEG fusion. Candidate profile: PhD in neuroscience, machine learning, or psychology; ideally with previous MEG, EEG experience; alternatively fMRI, computational modeling; good coding skills, ideally Python. 3/3

This is now published in iScience - cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…
Just a small (n=2) but very unique evidence that a single, neurotypically organized, auditory cortex suffices for typical function.

New preprint -
We show that neurotypical auditory cortex organization emerges in the absence of the contralateral auditory cortex.

📢Can’t believe I am finally letting the world (well, twitter) know that I will start as a Junior PI in Paris this summer!
If you also happen to be #cosyne24 #Cosyne2024 @CosyneMeeting and are interested in what we do (👇or check bio), come say hi!
Otherwise, please RT 🙏 1/

📢 Postdoc openings 🧠💭🤖
Our lovely Computational Brain Team (PI Florent Meyniel) in Paris is hiring 2 postdocs on an ERC project to study how people learn adaptively in changing environments, using representations of confidence/ uncertainty: tinyurl.com/2a6y4497 and 👇
📢 Job: Research Assistant (Jan-June 2024)
We are looking for a French-speaking RA to join us at NeuroSpin, Paris for work with 7T MRI, MEG, pupillometry, and behavior to study uncertainty in the 🧠. Great experience for someone considering a PhD.

Remember the thread (below, for reference) on a woman (EG) who grew up without her left temporal lobe? After @GretaTuckute's work on EG got covered by @WIRED, a few others reached out. One of them, the amazing @helenwsantoro, is sharing her story in NYT: nytimes.com/2022/09/04/scien…

As promised, a🧵on language and thought. The relationship between language and thought has long been pondered and debated. It may be one of the deepest and most exciting questions in cognitive science. 1/n

I am starting a search for a permanent research scientist in my lab. If you got your PhD in CS, cognitive science, or neuroscience and are interested in language+brains, but are not sure you want to run your own lab and would be happy to work under my guidance, drop me a line.

Now out in @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… Congrats @saima_mm and team! (And here is the link to the Research Briefing: nature.com/articles/s41593-0…)
Psyched to share the first results from a ~7yr journey, from an email I sent to @Nancy_Kanwisher in 2014 about an idea to develop lang(uage) 'localizers' for as many of the world's langs as possible to having fMRI data from native speakers of 45 langs. tinyurl.com/b5xv7e32 1/n
