There's a nice article about our research in today's New York Times by 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner Katie Engelhart. It beautifully summarises the last 20 years and provides a glimpse into what's coming next. nytimes.com/2026/04/09/magaz…

New Year’s resolution: stop using Twitter/X. This will be my last tweet & the last time I look at this account, so troll away. I’ve read nothing of interest here for 6 months. Time to move on, along with everyone else who has a brain. Find me where the sky is blue. Same handle.

There was a time when @Uber was amazing - brilliant, inventive, and cheap. Now they make you walk half a mile to your “pick up point”, wait there 20 mins when it’s -20°, pay $35 to travel 1.5 miles and the driver drops you 8 blocks from your destination. The end is near…

The paper is out!
🚵 How does arousal level affect cognition?
A study by @cimcyc and @Cambridge_CCCLab shows that cognitive control is preserved during sleepiness and intense exercise, but decision-making slows down while sleeping, and attentional focus improves while cycling.

It was so much fun working with @squidsoup on this. When neuroscience and art come together it often doesn't end well, but this was absolutely brilliant! Thanks to @Brains_CAN & @trycreyos for making it possible for me to do it & @McrSciFest for hosting. @WesternU @BMI_WesternU

Esports and video games boost cognition more than sports, finds new study, but regular exercise is key to strong mental health
People who frequently play games perform cognitively, on average, like people who were 13.7 years younger, said @Comadork
