Catastrophic for science.

Interested in timing, motor control, attention, working memory and/or stuttering? ⌛️ Curious to see how we try to bring these together in one study? 🧐 Check out our most recent, hot-off-the-press manuscript, born out of fun cross-field and cross-lab discussions ✨ Very excited to see this out ☀️🍾

this match is following the plot arc of Aliens, that was the drop ship exploding

Hi all! I’m looking for a full-time RA / lab manager (start date: late Aug or Sept, 1 year of funding guaranteed). Ideal candidate is a recent grad w/ relevant research experience. App review has begun, so if you’re interested, please apply here ASAP, by 7/12! Thx! phf.tbe.taleo.net/phf02/ats/ca...

Ah, now they look like the US World Cup teams I remember!

Jim Morrison plays the rest of the lads his demo for The End:

If you're not watching the game right now ... do

This isn’t even a case of Argentina being overrated, they’re not. It’s a matter of Cabo Verde being underestimated. Really incredible cup for them.

Our cerebellum+RL paper is now out in the Journal of Neuroscience! "The Human Cerebellum Encodes Temporally Sensitive Reinforcement Learning Signals" @sfnjournals.bsky.social @sfn.org www.jneurosci.org/content/46/2...

New preprint, led by Naser Al-Fawakhiri w/ Vik Chib, showing that the value of different movement goals affects motor adaptation. We think the results reflect a novel "instrumental-motor transfer" effect (à la Pavlovian-Instrumental transfer). Feedback welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very cool study linking behavior and eeg dynamics!

And endorsed by this guy, too:

The AP has already called the #NY10 Dem primary for Brad Lander, who ousts Rep. Dan Goldman and will be the heavy favorite in November.

a must-read! @freekvanede.bsky.social

Finally out: my review in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social covering how my lab and others have been ‘Looking into working memory through micro eye movements’ over the years. What does the microsaccade bias buy us? A lot I argue. Go see for yourself at: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

People like to dunk on MATLAB now, but it’s hard to overstate how large an advance it was at the time and the impact it has had on scientific computing. RIP Cleve Moler www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/s...

have waited forever for this day! 🏀 🏀 LETS GO FUCKING KNICKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Postdoc position available at postlab.psych.wisc.edu. Pls send cv to [email protected]

Un. Fucking. Believable. 🏀

Natural behavior unfolds as a continuous stream of actions. Because these actions often occur in rapid succession, the brain must prepare multiple future actions while the current action is being executed. Our TICS piece explores how this works. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

true

Umm wow 🏀

The LUMeN Lab at Emory is hiring ✨ We’re seeking a full-time RA/lab manager and a postdoc to work on new NIH-funded studies! Formal job ads/apps forthcoming. We’re eager to hit the ground running so please share these flyers and/or reach out if interested!

This paper is absolutely wild and amazing. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super excited by this manuscript led by the amazing @brissend.bsky.social By combining fMRI, TMS, and modeling, we finally have causal evidence that the cerebellum is contributing to brain-wide working memory representations and recall performance! 1/n

YEP! Wait until you find out how Google was started with a sub $1m NSF grant, GPS was developed with fed funding, we've reduced overdose deaths by 25% with fed funding, and of 354 new medications released between 2010-2019 99.4% of them were started by NIH grants/funded labs.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

New York Knicks - absolutely amazing I vividly remember watching the Knicks playoff run in 1999 at my friend's apartment building across the street. Formative Knicks fan moments. Ups and downs, of course a tough ending. This time will be different. We want the Spurs again! #Knicks 🏀

My FIRST PhD students, Drs. Juliana Trach & @hhillman.bsky.social, defended their FANTASTIC PhDs! They started with me in 2020 (a very uneventful year of course) Juliana and Hanna tease me for my "dad photos" of them giving posters/talks mid-sentence or eyes-closed. So here are two of those ->

Thrilled to have this preprint out, from the amazing Zekun Sun! "Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns" In brief, across 8 experiments we found evidence of a causal role for abstract representations in motor learning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

When I was in my PhD, I TAed an upper-year fMRI course. Seniors would design a study, scan each other, and then analyze the data. Amazing course, and we had a great year with stars like Juliana Trach & Henry Jones. They’re doing small-N block designs, so nobody finds anything, of course, except —

Today is official publication day for the paperback of A TRICK OF THE MIND. Surreal as ever to see on the shelves (this time thanks to Waterstones Gower St for indulging me). More here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/451515...

our article is now live in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We argue that action monitoring and ultimately our sense of agency involve an effector-independent representation of our movements => Motor equivalence in motor awareness www.cell.com/iscience/ful... Read, share, comment :)

Very excited to share our latest paper led by @nbinish.bsky.social in @natneuro.nature.com We demonstrate how a communication subspace channels higher-dimensional PFC dynamics into lower-D motor activity to enable efficient behavior using human iEEG. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Two postdoc opportunities @yale.edu in human neurophysiology. One position in my lab @wutsaiyale.bsky.social focusing on human cognitive neurophysiology. Details at helfrich-lab.com/news/ Plus a possible collab with anesthesiology 👇 #NeuroTwitter #NeuroJobs #neuroskyence #EEG Please share.

I'll be recruiting PhD students (2027 entry) and a postdoc to join the lab at Berkeley. Interests: • continuous person perception in interactive contexts • impression management and its biases • social perception in digital spaces Get in touch if there's overlap. Very excited for this next chapter!

HIV drove Zambia's life expectancy down to 37. A program backed by the US helped raise it up to 67, as hundreds of lives were saved. Now cuts to the US HIV program are causing a jump in AIDS deaths, as @stephanienolen.bsky.social reports. Gift link: nyti.ms/41V2Uvq
