Orbitofrontal cortex drives predictive filtering of sensory responses www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Any thoughts about these two questions? @fatatiti.bsky.social @dominikstrb.bsky.social @c-rothkopf.bsky.social

Hi Fabian, interesting work, thank you! I understand that the pattern you describe applies to externally generated stimuli during a reaching movement, rather than to self-generated stimuli that result from the movement itself.

New paper out from @noacemeljic.bsky.social at @ejneuroscience.bsky.social ! He studied whether the availability of visual input changes the temporal modulation of tactile perception during movement! 👇👇👇 (spoiler: and it does!)

“Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords kiki & bouba with spiky & round shapes, respectively...We tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby chickens. Similar to humans, they spontaneously chose a spiky shape when hearing a kiki sound & a round shape when hearing a bouba.”😲🧪

New paper from the lab: we look at changes in cerebellar grey matter with aging and how it can account for changes in cerebellar function. 1. Cerebellar volumes from all regions decrease similarly 2. Topological organization stayed similar 3. No structure-function relationship was found

So great! Mechanical engineers study the physics of elephant whiskers. Unlike mice, elephants don’t whisk. The physics of their whiskers suggests they amplify touch. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New preprint! tinyurl.com/y6z57dsm How do people discover an effective strategy when the environment shifts—say, when adapting to an unfamiliar trackpad? Our take: strategic motor adaptation isn’t a smooth process of error reduction but rather a process of hypothesis testing. 🧵

On a roll with papers this week. PNAS paper with @michealdebarra.bsky.social giving some evidence to the idea that people turn to the supernatural because of uncertainty about causal processes. BONUS of curing whooping cough with donkeys and warts with snails 🐌

How I contributed to rejecting one of my favorite papers of all times, Yes, I teach it to students daily, and refer to it in lots of papers. Sorry. open.substack.com/pub/kording/...

Did you know the heart imprints onto the voice? New preprint spearheaded by Marijn Hafkamp, confirming (seemingly forgotten) research from the 80's and testing for the first time possible biomechanical mechanisms (evidence points to heart-lung-voice interactions). wimpouw.com/files/Hafkam...

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system. #interoception #neuroskyence

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...

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...
