Ooh - do get this superb book … also very accessible, so great gift for non medical/scientific friends about fascinating area of psychopathology 👌

Excited to share our new paper led by Renata Sadibolova in Cognition (t.ly/EfeDD). In two experiments, we show that by applying bifactor modelling to time perception data, we identify two latent factors that conceptually align with Bayesian models of time perception. @timingresforum.bsky.social

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science. This helps me remember what this is all about. Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

❗RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES❗ We're hiring for an ambitious @wellcometrust.bsky.social project exploring brain mechanisms of planning/inference in psychosis 🧠 Tackled at multiple scales: from single neurons to human behaviour/fMRI and neural networks. Opportunities for 1 post-doc 1 clinical fellow 👀

This looks like an amazing opportunity!👇
