New @marmotihe report 6/9 English regions showed increases in inequalities in life expectancy for women (NE, NW, Yorkshire & Humber, East of England, E Midlands, SW) @ucl bit.ly/LEGAP
Ever wonder how people's brains differ from one another? ➡️ Individual differences in 🧠 organization commonly come in 2 forms: shifts in borders & 'ectopic intrusions' far from expected locations Now out in @NatureNeuro, led by @allydworetsky rdcu.be/dGeIp 🧵soon!
Happy to share a new preprint - the culmination of the past three years of postdoc with @tyrell_turing and @apeyrache, and my first real foray into #NeuroAI as a tool to study the sleeping brain: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/🧵) c’est parti!
Great talk today by. Michael Arbib at @EP_UCL
Happening today at 1pm UK time. In person in London and online @anfarch @EP_UCL #architecture #wayfinding #navigation #memory

The #navigation game and citizen science project called #SeaHeroQuest, developed by Prof @hugospiers from @UCLPALS, is referenced by Prof @SeanCommins @MaynoothUni as a way to assess someone's navigational abilities. Read on @RTEBrainstorm ⬇️ bit.ly/3Ue6AEi
Great example of how video games might 'up skill' navigation. Lots of mass online games now really do push navigation skills. Level design is a huge impressive art. See @MaxPears amazing podcast on level design.

Latest from our lab, asking what lifestyle factors are associated with good navigation skills?
Happening tomorrow at 1pm UK time:
📣 SO EXCITED to share with you all my third first-author paper from my PhD: “Video gaming, but not reliance on GPS, is associated with spatial navigation performance.” ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv… I am so grateful to the wonderful team who turned this dream into a reality! 🙌
I'll be hosting Michael Arbib next Tuesday (30th) at 1pm (room 305 in 26 Bedford Way) for his @EP_UCL seminar entitled: From Spatial Navigation and Episodic Memory to Architectural Design Zoom link to join: lnkd.in/eYQtUJPb Meeting ID: 918 6783 4404 Passcode: 516129

Interesting resource. I've been interested in doing work in this area (remote VR testing of people), but its not trivial!

This means it's 25 years since I came out to my parents. I'd already planned to tell them that weekend, but was understandably very nervous. The bombing of the Admiral Duncan helped show me that I was doing the right thing. I've never looked back.
