We are delighted to announce that the deadline to apply for the OPM-FLUX Toolkit 2026 has been extended until the 15th of May (9:00 BST). We look forward to receiving your application! https://www.neuosc.com/fluxtoolkit2026

On Thursday the 23rd of April 2026, Neuronal Oscillations group co-presented a group poster at the annual Department of Psychiatry Half Away Day, held at the beautiful Richard Doll building. The poster depicts the diverse research the group does. Poster designed by Dr Tommy Clausner.

Scientific Data We present a large, open-access multi-center dataset combining MEG, EEG, eye-tracking, and MRI data to study conscious visual perception (the Cogitate project). The dataset, collecte

Chen, S., Zhang, X., Li, X., Jensen, O., Theeuwes, J., and Wang, B. (in press). Learned statistical regularity drives anticipatory micro-saccades toward suppressed distractor locations. Nat. Commun. We found that when people learn that when distractions appear repeatedly at certain locations, their eyes - surprisingly - make tiny anticipatory movements (called micro-saccades) toward those locations before the distractions even appear. Also alpha-band activity carried decodab

Levinson, M., Waitt, A.E., Duecker, K., Wynn, S.C., Jensen, O., and Baillet, S. (accepted) Hierarchical brain dynamics supporting visual perceptual transitions. Sci. Adv. In this study we used RIFT and MEG to track visual-cortical excitability during perceptual filling-in and found that the signal increased just before the illusion emerged. This showed that filling-in is preceded by changes in early visual cortex, but not by the low-level spreading predicted by isomorphic acc

We are delighted to announce that the four-day OPM-FLUX Toolkit 2026 will take place on the 13th - 16th July , at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford. The OPM-FLUX toolkit course provides a comprehensive introduction to analysing OPM-MEG data using OPM-FLUX, an advanced analysis pipeline for human electrophysiological data. Originally designed for SQUID-based MEG, the FLUX pipeline has been adapted for OPM-MEG. While OPM-MEG offers exciting opportunities in cognitive

St Catherine's College, Oxford University, reviews the recently published historical review of the alpha rhythm, written by Dr Mathilde Bonnefond and Prof Ole Jensen. Read the St Catz review here .

Zhigalov, A., and Jensen O., (accepted) Rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT) does not evoke intermodulation components in the neural response. PLOS One. Using moving gratings that bind and frequency tagging at 56 and 63 Hz, we were unable to detect a 7 Hz intermodulation signal.

Jensen, O. and Bonnefond, M. (accepted) The alpha rhythm: from physiology to behaviour. Physiol. Rev. A comprehensive review of alpha oscillations, tracing back 100 years. We discuss genetics, physiology, computational models, animal physiology, cognition, and clinical aspects.
