Is there a cognitive neuroscience funding crisis?
http://j0ns1m0ns.blogspot.com/2011/02/is-there-cognitive-neuroscience-funding.html
Monday, 14 February 2011. Is there a cognitive neuroscience funding crisis? When I started my lectureship (a position equivalent to assistant professor in the US system) way back in the good old days of 2007, one of the first things I had to think about was how to begin building a research group. My research interests. Research Councils – the MRC. Medical research), BBSRC. Biotechnology and biological sciences research), and to a lesser extent, the ESRC. Economic and social research). In the last couple ...

Monday, 24 January 2011. What we know from science about how to pass your exams. Whether you’re cramming your specialist subject for an appearance on Mastermind. Or trying frantically to learn lecture material for an impending exam, there is abundant evidence from cognitive psychology of some strategies that might help. Published this week in Science. By Jeffrey Karpicke and colleagues indicates that an even more successful strategy can be to repeatedly test yourself on the information. Pirolli and Ander...

Why Jon Driver was an inspiration to me
http://j0ns1m0ns.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-jon-driver-was-inspiration-to-me.html
Thursday, 1 December 2011. Why Jon Driver was an inspiration to me. I never worked with Jon directly, and wouldn’t say that I knew him particularly well. More comprehensive and better informed assessments of his life and career will no doubt be found elsewhere. However, the times I did spend with Jon were sufficient to leave a lasting impression on me, which is what I wanted to reflect on in these brief thoughts. Examples of stimuli from Driver and Halligan (1991). Posted by Jon Simons. Geraint Rees and ...

Wednesday, 20 April 2011. Update on exercise and memory story. A few months ago, I wrote a blog post. In response to a “pre-arranged” submission. By Kirk Erickson and colleagues to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Which purported to find evidence that moderate exercise leads to substantial improvements in memory. The article in question received a great. Posted by Jon Simons. Friday, 1 April 2011. State-dependent memory: Remembering Heather Graham's phone number. Wwwmemlab.psyc...

There has been some truly excellent coverage this morning of the very important paper published today by Kate Button. And colleagues in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. Entitled “Power failure: why small sample size undermines the reliability of neuroscience”. For example, Ed Yong. Has an equally good article on the implications of these issues for the field. To be adequately powered, replications...

Exploring how the brain helps you keep a grip on reality
http://j0ns1m0ns.blogspot.com/2011/05/exploring-how-brain-helps-you-keep-grip.html
Friday, 27 May 2011. Exploring how the brain helps you keep a grip on reality. This is based on a piece about our research that I was asked to write for a thing after recently being selected to receive the Experimental Psychology Society Prize. The EPS. Is one of the most venerable and respected learned societies in my field, and it was a real honour for our work to be recognised by them. In short, how do we determine whether our memories are real? Has termed “reality monitoring” which is vit...In the la...
