La navigation spatiale repose sur ce que ressent le corps en mouvement et sur les repères visuels de l’environnement. Une nouvelle étude identifie le moment où ces deux cartes mentales s’alignent. Ce recalibrage apparaît dans le cerveau sous forme d’oscillations thêta. Essplications ⬇️

6th International Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) Conference 📅 August 25–28, 2026 🚀 Registration & Abstract Submission Now Open! 🔗 Register now: 👉 lnkd.in/dYgS5ndk 🧠 Submit your contribution: 👉 lnkd.in/dR6y5y4b

🚀 New paper! We just took a major step in understanding how architecture shapes cognition. Our paper shows that something as simple as corners in rooms or corridors can shift canonical spatial attention cueing costs. Key method? Mobile Brain/Body Imaging combined with VR! bit.ly/47m6ssV

🧵 New paper out🚨🧠! Information about motion is key to vision. Head motion signals from the vestibular system robustly modulate visual cortex activity. Despite this profound modulation, we still don’t know how these signals reach visual cortex - or even what aspects of head motion are transmitted.

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

🌟 We’re hiring! 🌟 Are you interested in memory, cognitive training, & healthy ageing? We’re looking for a Research Assistant to join our lab! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOZ814/r... 👉 0.5 FTE (2.5 days/week), 4 months (likely from 01/26) 👉 Annual salary £32,080 to £33,002 (pro-rata) 👉 Based in Sheffield, UK

How the brain combines spatial information from external landmarks and self-motion cues during freely moving spatial navigation task? A very inspiring collaboration with @mobilebrainimaging.bsky.social and @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social using #MobileEEG

Have you ever walked out of a tram station, started walking, and upon seeing your favorite French bakery suddenly realized you were going the wrong way, as if your entire spatial representation abruptly reoriented itself in the opposite direction? We tested this ! (just had to replace the bakery...)

Congrats to @alighavampour.bsky.social and @mnlmrc.bsky.social for developing a new paradigm for hand synergy learning. If you are looking for a motor skill task that seems impossibly difficult and really needs to learning to be mastered, here it is: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Our new paper is out! When navigating through an environment, how do we combine our general sense of direction with known landmark states? To explore this, @denislan.bsky.social used a task that allowed subjects (or neural networks) to choose either their next action or next state at each step.

La "démence numérique" est un mythe : les technologies digitales ne provoquent pas de dégénérescence des fonctions cognitives, au contraire. Selon une méta-analyse menée sur 400 000 adultes, leur usage est associé à un déclin plus lent et plus tardif des facultés mentales. Avec Patrick Lemaire
