06/12/24 Successfull Grant Application! We got a project grant from the Bial foundation together with Cassandra Sampaio-Baptista. The aims of the project are to investigate whether extended multi-sensory rhythmic stimulation induces changes in behaviour, brain structure, and brain function in humans consistent with a prominent plasticity mechanism (Spike-Timing-Dependent-Plasticity). Exciting times ahead for the Sampaio-Baptista and Hanslmayr labs!
06/12/24 New pre-print alert! A study led by Mircea van der Plas investigating the effects of intracranial electrical stimulation on neural firing and hippocampo-cortical connectivity is now on Biorxiv The manuscript is titled: Characterizing neuronal and population responses to electrical stimulation in the human hippocampo-cortical network** Check it out –> pre-print
26/09/24 New paper alert! A study led by our collaborators Doris Dijksterhuis, Matt Self and Pieter Roelfsema at the NiN in Amsterdam has just been published at Science! The paper is titled: Pronouns reactivate conceptual representations in human hippocampal neurons** Check it out –> paper
02/09/24 Migxia Zhang, Associate Professor at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a focus on motivation, learning, funded by the CSC (China) joins our lab for a year to work with us on hippocampal theta oscillations, reward/punishment, memory and curiousity. Congratulations Mingxia and welcome to Glasgow!
19/06/24 Ying Yao wins competitive PhD funding from the CSC (China) to work with us on phase resets of hippocampal theta oscillations and memory. Congratulations Ying and welcome to the team!
