Our new episode with @nm_yucel is out today on children and their moral behaviour. Check it out on your favourite podcasting app or our website http://www.watercoolerneuroscience.co.uk #podcast #psychology #WCNeuro
The human visual cortex generates an echo in the gamma band (akin to VanRullen's perceptual echo in the alpha band). MEG results + a physiologically plausible PING model:

Tomorrow's episode is with @nm_yucel on her research into why children 'tell' or 'taddle' on each other. Do children do it because they believe in moral ideals or simply to get rewards and avoid punishment? #psychology #podcast #WCNeuro
What does the research show about brief educational interventions?
-Both observational and experimental studies are, on average, underpowered
-Effect sizes in trials are small
-Generalizability is poor

Check out Alan Jern's episode released yesterday. It can be found here https://apple.co/39BVlzD, https://spoti.fi/37uc5X4, https://bit.ly/2JByQQy and Alan and I work through how his research explains the rules we use for understanding other people. #podcast #psychology
Later this year look out for my new series on AI and neuroscience. Many labs around the world use AI and none of those AI are aware, they aren't really more advanced that a search engine algorithm. What is going on where we have AI but it isn't what we see in the movies? #podcast
In February wa new mini series is coming out which will look at what happens to the 98% of postgraduate students who move in the private and corporate setting. What is it like? How does scientific creativity mesh with corporate needs? #podcast #neuroscience #WCN #psychology
Kevin Mitchell The messy reality of the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders https://youtu.be/Qx4I-QSGaIs via @YouTube
We enjoyed an excellent workshop by Stephanie Jones on modelling neuronal oscillations using the Human Neocortical Neuro https://neuosc.com/workshop-by-stephanie-jones-on-the-human-neocortical-neuro/
Tomorrow: Online seminar by Prof Xinyu Zhao on "Targeting stem cells for neurodevelopmental disorders", hosted by Seaver Autism Center | #bot⚡ https://www.world-wide.org/seminar/1347
This week I am reflecting on being a full-time podcaster, a sentence which 2016 me didn't consider. To end this year we are rebroadcasting three @WCNeuro episodes I want to highlight again, these are episodes we've had the most discussion about, enjoy #podcast #psychology
As we reach midway in December it is now time for @WCNeuro to start winding down production, I've made a lot of content for next year, in January it is time to start producing and editing so you can see all the excellent conversations I've had over November and December #podcast
Cool one! https://twitter.com/AdvSciNews/status/1338379468478554112
If only keeping in shape were this easy! This magnetic nanoparticle–embedded #hydrogel has magnetically driven actuation and light‐assisted shape memory 🦾

Check out our latest episode with Toby Pasman from Roscoe's Wetsuit Neuro podcast. We talk about his experience both in academic and corporate labs, how different are they really? #podcast #neuroscience #AcademicFreeze
The other day I got to interview Emilie Caspar about her work in my we feel in control of our bodies, how does that come about and what can disrupt her. She isn't a psychiatrist but a social neuroscientist understanding how our social context alters how our brains function
Today I got to interview Emilie Caspar to discuss her work into the sense of agency and how it makes up our conscious experience. We almost always feel like we are in control and she talked to me about how that works #podcast #Neurosciences #Science
