All those late birds still have a chance!!!

So, I have been writing a grant and have just realized that the whole idea is basically what one Big Shot in the Field has done a few years ago. Seems I have free evening now.

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

Dude just rang the wrong door... @vrneuroscience.bsky.social @curiousjason.com

Brb, need to ask my parents how did they manage to join protests organised by Solidarnosc, since they couldn’t add their names to an email subscription list.

Usually it's "Polanski"

Would have been better if Grok fixed Elmo's idiocies...

He was advocating for gun ownership? I guess they proved him wrong.

Preprint alert! Individual preferences in relying on vision or proprioception in reaching show distinct patterns in connectivity across sensorimotor network. Happy to have contributed to this nice piece of work by Kess, @hjblock.bsky.social and other cool people! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I asked three native German speakers what's the German term for "agency" (as in the ability to act). They all gave me different replies.

Crazy intense year here and hey, guess what: I got married to the love of my life!

Unsure this is true, mainly due to predictive transients starting in the retina. Human visual system predicts direction of motion and builds conscious percept through extrapolation, not just through actual sensory input.

I guess he just doesnt care.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted. 1/24

I had a superinfection for the past two weeks. Never been this sick before...

So, as much as I stopped tracking news from the Dumbverse across the ocean, this particular one is really outstanding. Move Fast and Break Things usually ends just in having broken things. Sympathy for all patients and staff that have to deal with this mess. #neurosky www.inc.com/associated-p...

In our latest Vatnik Soup video, we debunk Russia’s 'Nazis in Ukraine' myth. One of the main justifications for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been the so-called 'denazification' of the country - an ironic claim, considering that neo-Nazis are actually fighting FOR Russia. youtu.be/KbJRt_tIzAg
