Not surprised by this comment. Stinks of ignorance. Comes from a billionaire who’s depending on public money to rebuild a football stadium for a club that he owns partially (28.94%).

During an interesting discussion yesterday with @philosophyshepherd.bsky.social and our Representations Group (www.tcd.ie/Neuroscience...), I mentioned the idea of thinking of our motor systems as embodying a generative model of possible movements. Some members objected...

Insular neural interfaces Cognitive error signals in the anterior insula propagate toward prefrontal cortex when a BCI fails to follow the user’s intention. Real-time integration enables a self-correcting neural interface that compensates for its own decoder misclassifications #neuroskyence

New preprint: Neural manifolds that orchestrate walking and stopping Here we develop a new theory for neural generation of walking and how it can stop- Next we test the theory using Neuropixels probes in the lumber spinal cord of freely moving rats. See more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...

We were honoured to award Prof Bradford McFadyen @bjmcfadyen.bsky.social ISPGR's Honorary Membership at our 2025 World Congress. Prof McFadyen reflects on this award - and what it takes to make a meaningful career in posture and gait research - in our latest #ISPGRBlog. tinyurl.com/5n7ces5h

Revised-TLDR: Using the hidden multivariate pattern method we show how we capture 5 (!) recurrent EEG topographies in participants' decisions. We show how these events parse the single-trial reaction time into: - sensory processes - attention orientation - evidence accumulation - motor execution

April and I finished The Pitt last night, and man...what an amazing show. I can't speak to the medical accuracy, which I've heard is good, but I can speak to the depictions of PTSD/anxiety. I also want to give a shout out to a scene in the final episode between Noah Wyle and Shawn Hatosy that

Started watching The Pitt finally. Hot damn, it’s great. I miss this kind of episodic TV.

Big week for all you second-gen psychedelics and non-hallucinatory neuroplastogens fans! New results from Zalsupindole - promotes greater neuroplasticity than ketamine, psilocybin, or DMT, without any of the pesky psychedelic side (fun?) effects. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

@dotproduct.bsky.social's first first author paper is finally out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! Her findings show that content-specific predictions fluctuate with alpha frequencies, suggesting a more specific role for alpha oscillations than we may have thought. With @jhaarsma.bsky.social. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

Please RT! 🙏🙏🙏 1/3 How do you correct for multiple comparisons? Do you take into account *all* comparisons that can render the paper publishable? Most of us don’t. In this NHB piece, Yoav Benjamini, Yoav Zeevi and I argue that it’s time to change our practices >> www.nature.com/articles/s41...

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

P.S. The procedure seems like it can be replicated by in-house engineers for low costs at university hospitals ;)

Ever slam on the brakes after seeing a speed trap? Or better yet, slow down ahead in anticipation? In our new paper w/ @anask07.bsky.social in @cp-iscience.bsky.social, we use #iEEG to study the neural basis of reactive and proactive control in medial and lateral PFC. tinyurl.com/4bbwbffv

This model lets us see how indeterminacy allows macroscopic causation and agential control to emerge. Our actions are not fully predetermined but they’re also not caused by specific random events – instead, they are genuinely *up to us*. philarchive.org/rec/POTCCA-6

And we can see, in creatures that developed nervous systems especially, that they can act *for reasons*, based on the meaning of neural patterns. Living systems literally incorporate knowledge about the world to guide their behavior adaptively. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Carefully reading the papers you cite is like a superpower. You might be surprised what you actually find! 😜

Ignoring fluctuations in criterion is problematic: simulations show that criterion fluctuations induce apparent history biases (panel C), lead to underestimated psychometric slopes (panel D) and underestimated measures of sensitivity, such as d' (panel D)

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

Honored to be nominated for the 2025 New Scientist Award! 🎉 Excited to see #psychedelic research—and my work on the neural and cognitive effects—gaining more and more recognition in science. I'd be grateful if you can vote for me, using the link below or here: www.newscientist.nl/polls/new-sc...

Is it me, or the train moving? We use vision to maintain balance. Just close your eyes while standing on one leg and you typically feel less stable. But if we use vision, how come we do not fall when looking at a moving visual reference, e.g. a train? 📈🧠🧪 #sensorimotor #balance #BiomechSky

Finding a place for shelter is also a concern in Maastricht. There is more competition to secure a home than getting admitted into a research program #opinion

I just want to say this on the #Racism: Firstly, well done to Antoine Semenyo for, not only reporting the abuse, but also rising above it to deliver *that* performance. #Bournemouth have a proper hero playing for them. Unreal mentality and I hope he receives all the support needed. 🍒 #LIVBOU

Beta burst waveforms in PD! We find that specific types of beta bursts are rate-modulated by l-dopa, and STN-cortical connectivity during these burst types is related to clinical improvement. Fantastic work by Hasnae Agouram with @pierpasorre.bsky.social 🧠📈

Congratulations @chrismccrum.bsky.social on the @ispgr.bsky.social Promising Scientist Award! #ISPGR2025

First round of symposiums started at #ISPGR2025. Loved the “I am my environment” symposium, exemplifying the power of symposia where the whole is more than the sum of the parts.

Look out today @ispgr.bsky.social #ISPGR2025 for these presentations with members of our group!

In this new preprint, in review @elife.bsky.social, we show what processing steps make up the reaction time using single trial #EEG modelling in a contrast #decision task. In this 🧵 I'm telling the story behind it as I think it is quite interesting and I can't write it like this in the paper...
