So happy to be invited to the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting! Many thanks to @knaw-nl.bsky.social for nomination. Looking forward to meeting fellow young scientists and hearing from people whose work I've admired for years. And yes, even crossing Germany with Deutsche Bahn for it 🙃 #LINO26 #LINO75

LAST CALL! Applications for paid, virtual Teaching Assistants are closing! Time to submit that application now! 🤓 All TAs should have a strong background in #Python & the specific course topic they are applying to. ➡️ Learn more here: neuromatch.io/become-a-tea... Apply before 15 March

Curious how YOUR brain adapts to body augmentations? 🧠 On 21 March we will be at the Donders Institute Open Day (De Brein Show) in Nijmegen. Our lab @bbt-lab.bsky.social will be part of the demos, where you can try our finger-extending exoskeleton 🦾 More info 👉 www.ru.nl/donders-inst...

Today is the day. Looking forward to my Special Talk at the #MindBrainBody Symposium introducing the Brain-Body Analysis Special Interest Group (BBSIG)… for now, I’m having breakfast with my BBSIG-themed mug ☕️ 🗓️ March 11, 13:00-14:00 #MBBS2026

You are invited to our roundtable: “Navigating Freedom, Sustainability & Gender Justice in Academia”. We will reflect and share experiences on urgent issues shaping the daily lives of women+ in academia. Info & registration: www.ru.nl/en/about-us/...

How dynamics arise from the structure is my biggest interest. In this study, we started with a small step and asked how structure constrains dynamics. Spoiler: would that it were so simple… (1/6)

Positive news is that progress in gender equality is real. But as someone looking back on years of single parenting (and the sneaking cumulative effects that has on a CV) this strongly resonates: “Women are … 4.5 times more likely to miss opportunities due to care responsibilities”.

On 10 March, we invite you to the "Shiny Failure" workshop with Stéfanie André. Academic careers are not straight paths. Rejections, temporary contracts, care work: it is a balancing act. Let's talk openly about failure, solidarity, and self-kindness. More info 👉 www.ru.nl/en/research/...

I’m building a foundational reading list for our lab (systems & circuit neuroscience, compneuro, modeling, neuromodulators, population coding etc.). I’d like to crowdsource recommendations. Which review(s) would you consider mandatory reading for the next generation of researchers?

I’m currently redesigning my Body–Brain–Emotion seminar for our General Psychology MSc students. Last year, we covered the spectrum from basic sensory processes to perception (e.g., cardiac effects), as well as breathing and sleep, gut-brain interaction.

As body-augmenting technologies become more common, it is important to understand how the brain decides what counts as "the body", and how that changes over time. My first postdoc paper 🦾 now out in @elife.bsky.social 👇

The human body is remarkably adaptable, capable of integrating artificial enhancements from tools to prosthetic limbs. Researchers have used finger extensions to test how the brain updates its expectations over time. 🔗 buff.ly/HxxCzTz

New work from the lab led by @fatatai.bsky.social together with Dimitris Voudouris, @dominikstrb.bsky.social, Katja Fiehler as part of 'The Adaptive Mind' cluster

Why are tactile sensations suppressed during movements? In our new preprint, we explain this as optimal integration of sensory signals with an internal model. Work led by @fatatai.bsky.social with Dimitris Voudouris, Katja Fiehler and @c-rothkopf.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Why is touch perceived as weaker during movement? In our new preprint 📝, we examine tactile suppression during reaching. Using optimal control theory, we show that tactile suppression reflects dynamic, uncertainty-dependent integration of forward model predictions and sensory feedback.

New paper led by @pevianiv.bsky.social! Using EEG and varied hand positions, we tested how the brain localizes touch. Neural gradients showed limb-specific, intrinsic coding emerging ~160 ms after touch, challenging extrinsic remapping theories. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/5...

so I guess I am looking at a few weeks of chasing them or trying to process documents. my rent payments aren't paused this month, right? is this just university business or are people in the industry similarly uninterested in the livelihoods of the people they hire?

received a grant in June last year and university has been aware my contract would start on 1st february since then... they haven't even sent me the conditional offer (!!!!) although i have been chasing them for a month, and they were "unable to give me a timeline" yesterday
