Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

Our team's new publications cover the Nature portfolio! 🧪🧠 - Vision & touch (Nature, rdcu.be/eSsZR) - Psychedelics (Nat Commun, rdcu.be/eSsZ2) - Binocular rivalry (Nat Hum Behav, rdcu.be/eSsYW) - CSF mobility (Nat Neurosci, rdcu.be/eSs0c) - Numerical cognition (Commun Biol, rdcu.be/eSs0p)

Nature research paper: Vicarious body maps bridge vision and touch in the human brain go.nature.com/4839zaL

New today in @Nature: your visual cortex contains touch-based body maps. bit.ly/VisualBodyMaps Your brain transforms what you see into first-person, body-referenced codes: A previously unknown bridge between vision and touch.

Very proud of Marco’s work in this project!

The paper demonstrating that #psilocybin alters contextual computations is out in @natcomms.nature.com : doi.org/10.1038/s414... Thanks to the reviewers and coauthors : @marcoaqil.bsky.social , @tknapen.bsky.social , @gillesdehollander.bsky.social , and Nina Vreugdenhil

A thread motivated by a new paper on body representations in the human brain at a fine-grained (multi-unit) level, spearheaded by J Garcia Ramirez, T Theys, and P Janssen, where I was a small part of a bigger collaboration that also included S Bracci, R Murty and @nancykanwisher.bsky.social. 1/n

Since I need a first bsky post, here's a rehash of @nickhedger.bsky.social's thread announcing our preprint with Kendrick Kay & Thomas Naselaris. TLDR; High-level visual cortex is tiled with maps 'multiplexing' vision and touch. tinyurl.com/seesoma 🧵 1/n
