🧠Want to start a #PhD in sensorimotor #neuroscience in Fall 2026? Our NIH- and NSF-funded lab @IUBloomington uses human behavior and noninvasive brain stimulation to study motor learning and perception. More info: blocklab.net/openings.html or hjblock@iu.edu. Deadline is Dec. 15.

Find out how the brain deals with conflicting cues in this #ArticleinPress, Timing of responses to gradual and abrupt #visuo-proprioceptive cue conflict with and without feedback (Reshma Babu et al. @IUBloomington):

My research group is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study the principles of coadaptation between human-human and human-adaptive agent pairs. Ad below. Please retweet!

Anyone who teaches undergrad motor control and learning: are you willing to share syllabus, labs, or assignments with me? I'm teaching an honors section in the spring for the first time! We have lots of pre-PT/OT students and I'm using this book: amazon.com/Motor-Control-Tra…

Hey #sfn2024 attendees, if you're interested in visuo-proprioceptive hand perception and recalibration: Come see our poster! Tuesday afternoon, board H40. 👉👈🧠

Hey we are hiring! Would love to have some colleagues at Emory in BME working in sensorimotor systems and related technologies that cross the basic/clinical divide!

(3/4) ...the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). These updates are proprioceptive, having not yet been integrated with visual cues through interaction with high-level posterior parietal regions. This might provide advantages in terms of faster updates, for example, because...

(4/4) ...multisensory integration likely adds processing time. Research seeking to manipulate motor control via multisensory perception should therefore consider the parallel unisensory and multisensory pathways that affect the motor system.

Looks great! I'm looking forward to reading this.

Also: is visual recalibration an artifact of subject laziness? It seems not. We included groups 5 and 6 specifically to answer this question. We have been calling it "the JT experiment". 😄 @tsay_jonathan

For decades, Robert Sainburg pushed against the conventional wisdom about how the brain controls the body. Today, his research is improving treatments for people who survive strokes. Learn more ow.ly/CvIW50SzVcf

Chat GPT just made me a planned NIH inclusion/enrollment report! 🤯🤯🤯 I had to give it some follow-up instructions, but wow.

Oh never mind, I'm glad I checked the math. It totals up to 394, not 396. 🤦♀️ I told chat GPT and it responded with "you're right!" and another table that also claimed to total up to 396... but is actually 397. Has anyone else tried this?
