New work on sensory prediction resolves some long-standing puzzles about attenuation of self-touch journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

New lab preprint spearheaded by @xavierjob.bsky.social !! We used MEG to understand the dynamics of self-touch attenuation 👇👇👇 !!

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Cerebellar circuit computations for predictive motor control — a Review by Katrina P. Nguyen & Abigail L. Person www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience #neuroskyence

Thrilled to share the new paper from the lab out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com, led by the great @jetrach.bsky.social! "Mental graphs structure the storage and retrieval of visuomotor associations" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Large-scale projects run the risk of stifling scientific independence. Instead, let’s explore alternative mechanisms of collaboration, writes @neuralreckoning.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/neur...

New article out at Science Advances! Three challenges, five questions, and multiple implications of tickle. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @dondersinst.bsky.social @ki.se @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence #psychscisky #Sensorimotor #ERCResearch #ticklelab

From #Aristotle to Charles #Darwin, people have pondered the physical and cognitive mechanisms triggered by #tickling. However, despite its triviality, #science has yet to fully understand it. @elpais.com @dondersinst.bsky.social @kkilteni.bsky.social english.elpais.com/science-tech...

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe. On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe. This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!) europa.eu/!6Vdgmp

🧠✨ New insights on motor imagery: Motor imagery doesn't just mimic actual movement in the brain — it can also enhance the performance of different, linked movements. Congrats, Magda ;D

New paper out, led by the brilliant (bsky-less) PhD student Ziliang Xiong! We show that temporal expectations yield both costs and benefits on somatosensory perception and decision-making! We used psychophysics and computational modelling! Thread 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

As we age, we move slower and less precisely—but how much, exactly? We analyzed one of the largest datasets on motor control to date—2,185 adults performing a reaching task. Findings • Reaction time: –1.2 ms/year • Movement time: –2.3 ms/year • Precision: –0.02°/year tinyurl.com/f9v66jut 1/2

New @cp-iscience.bsky.social paper out, by @noacemeljic.bsky.social! Across 2 experiments, Noa observed a gradual attenuation in somatosensory perception as participants reached for their left hand with their right hand, in line w Bays & Wolpert(2005)! Stay in tune!

New paper out led by Xavier Job at @elife.bsky.social !!! elifesciences.org/articles/90912 We tested two opposing hypotheses of how action influences somatosensory perception! We show that action does not enhance but attenuates self-touch compared to identical touch in the absence of action

Our research challenges the long-held idea of distorted hand model! With @lukemillerneuro.bsky.social and Pieter Medendorp we show that biases in finger perception arise from the Bayesian integration of accurate but noisy signals on finger geometry. Check out the preprint: bit.ly/46LOrSA
