1/6 Our paper is out today in Nature Communications! From the SFB/TRR 289 Treatment Expectation @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social we show that temporal expectations shape somatosensory perception - for both painful heat AND non-painful cold stimuli.

New preprint from the lab: Cerebellar function remains resilient under increased task demands in healthy adults up to 80 years but it is task-specific and independent of cerebellar structure Where we probed the complex system theory of resilience and aging. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

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...

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...

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

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
