A big thanks to @NersesianSarah for doing an awesome presentation on how to create effective science infographics for my Experiential Learning in Science Communication class! The students learned a lot! #sciencecommunication
My newest publication (done in collaboration with @HeatherNeyedli and @chelssanderson): The role of visual error and reward feedback in learning to aim to an optimal movement endpoint (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance): psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-43…
Currently writing the final parts of my PhD. I investigated how the brain programs two consecutive grasping actions. Feel free to share any articles that you think I have not included that I should include. #motorcontrol #attention #neuroscience #perception
#tweeprint time! How do we generate the right muscle commands to grasp objects? We present a neural network model that replicates the vision to action pipeline for grasping objects and shows internal activity very similar to the monkey brain. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
New paper! Weakening the subjective sensation of own hand ownership does not interfere with rapid finger movements journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
The meaning of the Readiness Potential remains deeply controversial for studies of volition. New paper shows that conscious feeling of being about to move is accompanied by RP-like brain activity. Unbiased sampling of EEG and awareness. @elisabethpares doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
It's happened! A Nature Medicine paper on the microbiome of elite marathoners has identified a microbe that enhances performance via lactate breakdown! #microbiome #powerpoop #ultrachat nature.com/articles/s4159…
High-order coordination of cortical spiking activity modulates perceptual accuracy nature.com/articles/s4159…
New paper in @TrendsCognSci discussing how the structure of natural environments modulates the perception of objects: adaptations to positional regularities facilitate object detection and recognition, and sharpen object representations in visual cortex. doi.org/10.1016/j.tics…
@goreham97 from @BENLabDalhousie tell us about his wearables research measuring kayak sprint technique in the lab and on the water for the @ISBSOFFICIAL @BiomechanicsDay 2-minute-tweet competition. Retweet your favorite video from the @ISBSOFFICIAL page! youtube.com/watch?v=ZujzDH…
Here's another Munker illusion with small dots instead of stripes: The large circles appear to be salmon and yellow but are actually both the same color (RGB 255,223,0). The original png file is at bit.ly/2O74l2I.
that is cool: prior learning biases how the outcomes of our actions is perceived. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Attention vs. working memory. This preprint suggests "a central sampling attentional rhythm which allocates shared attentional resources both to the flow of external visual stimulation and also to the internal maintenance of visual information." biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
A four-color Munker illusion: Although they appear to be pink, yellow, orange, and nearly white, all four background ovals are the same color (RGB 255,236,196). Original png file is at bit.ly/2O74l2I .
A great colleague of mine (.@_thePerceiver) absolutely killing his presentation on exercise and attentional control at today’s .@DalHealth Crossroads conference. Well done Kev! .@PsychNeuroDal
Does systems consolidation exist? Or does an alternative process -- contextual binding -- account for post-encoding activity, sleep benefits, and forgetting over time? nature.com/articles/s4158… By Andy Yonelinas, @CharanRanganath, @ArneEkstrom1, & @Wiltgenlab Debate anyone? 🔥
When you inhale or exhale correlates with task performance on a visuospatial task. What could be cooler? Neural processing of the task differs also depends on whether participants inhaled or exhaled at task onset shows this study buff.ly/2UzmEQU
Mine was so inaccurate that I turned it off!
