Pls report: We're hiring! Looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to join our study of individual differences in plasticity in #blindness (+ possible extension to #deafness) using fMRI. Details and application: apply.interfolio.com/177838 #hiring #postdoc #neurojobs #Neuroscience #NeuroTwitter

It is difficult to express all the work that has been dedicated to this study by @stefaniamatt.bsky.social and all the team / Very proud / Incredibly insightful study and a great thread by Stefania- check it out.

Deux cents ans après son invention, le braille devrait être bientôt reconnu par l'Unesco. Son apprentissage et son usage, grâce à la mobilisation en particulier d'un homme. Et alors que ce système est confronté à des technologies vocales boostées par l'IA. www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Super excited to share a new preprint! We asked a simple-but-big question: What changes in the brain when someone becomes an expert? Using chess ♟️ + fMRI 🧠 + representational geometry & dimensionality 📈, we ask: 1️⃣ WHAT information is encoded? 2️⃣ HOW is it structured? 3️⃣ WHERE is it expressed? 1/n

Do a postdoc with us in San Francisco! A fellowship slot in vision science, clinical vision, blindness, or rehabilitation is available via a NEI T32 slot: 👇🏼

Interested in how the brain encodes numerosity across the senses or presentation formats? Check out our latest paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social masterfully executed by @yyagpsy.bsky.social

I’ll soon(ish) post an ad for a postdoc position in my lab to study individual differences in brain plasticity following blindness or deafness, with a start date of spring/summer 2026. Feel free to email me if you’re interested.

(please repost) If you're looking for a #neuroscience PhD program - and interested in human brain plasticity and reorganization (neuroimaging in people born with blindness, deafness or without hands), my lab is accepting students this cycle. Email me!

First time I share a time-slot in a conf with a minister (Rachida Dati, Minister for culture in France) 🤔 Celebration day for the 200 years of the Braille system, the universal tactile reading system for blind. I will speak about how the mind and brain process this crucial cultural invention.

Congratulation Filippo, it was an interesting and fun ride.

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Might focused ultrasound one day replace DBS? UK Scientists built a 256-panel focused ultrasound helmet that can precisely target deep brain regions. Using theta-burst TUS, they stimulated the LGN and found visual cortex activity with effects lasting up to 40 minutes. #neuroskyence #ultrasound

Happy our commentary of the paper of @gvallortigara.bsky.social et al. as Editor's Choice in CerCo. We agree that the number sense (NS) is indeed likely innate but not grounded in vision because the NS is supramodal and develops in congenitally blind people. academic.oup.com/cercor/artic...
