Today I started a new position in the EEGManyLabs core team with Yuri Pavlov, Faisal Mushtaq and Jasper van den Bosch. I'll be based at the Immersive Cognition Lab at the University of Leeds.

Looking forward to more focussed Open Science work, Big EEG Data, and the foggy Yorkshire moors!

Last year I got a scholarship to participate in the MNE-Python 2022 Code Sprint. Besides some fixes and work in the documentation my main goal was to enable MNE to read and support Eye Tracking data.

We now merged a first big PR (thanks to Scott Huberty for joining me and pushing us forward!):

MNE now has a dedicated class for eye tracking data and can import SR Research's proprietary ASCII files (or work with data in numpy arrays). Check out the first tutorials here and here ;)

#EEGManyLabs has been awarded the Team Credibility Prize of the British Neuroscience Association. More info on the award website.

I contributed to the white paper and am very happy to see this recognition. Congrats to Faisal Mushtaq and Yuri Pavlov, who started and lead this enormeous replication project!

I was selected to participate in MNE-Python's 2022 New Developers Code Sprint :)

Besides some other ideas, my main goal will be Eye Tracking support for MNE. I had contributed before, but am looking forward to a week of learning and coding with the core devs!

I'm very happy that my submission to this year's meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society was selected for a Blitz presentation! I sprinted through the findings of my recent publication "Naturalistic viewing conditions can increase task engagement and aesthetic preference but have only minimal impact on EEG quality".

Slides here on OSF :)

My new tutorial on how to work with frequency-tagged data in MNE-Python has just been merged! Check it out here!

This is a small spin-off from my current methods-paper on the effect of experimental conditions in EEG studies. Here we used an auditory (ASSR) stimulus as a proxy measure for EEG recording quality. Stay tuned for the preprint.

Thanks to Evgenii Kalenkovich for working together on the tutorial :)

Vice News has visited us at the German Film Museum and produced a short video about our Cinema Project. A very professional Crew - no nonsense shots and almost zero interference with the research workflow :)

The short was published on their Twitter.
