In our new review, we discuss how aiming for the best answers leads to inconsistent perception: doi.org/10.3389/fnint.2023.1… In this digest, I will present some examples. The first is that the Brentano illusion affects the length (green) of a line, but not the endpoints (blue) (1/5)

✨ 📽 Imagine you're a professional football player. You dribble, kick, and score. But how does that work in your brain? @pmedendorp and Leonie Oostwoud Wijdenes provide you an unique look at the Sensorimotor lab in this video: 👉

Happy :) to be a co-author with @ninavanmastrigt, @Katinka3D, @JBJSmeets and Bernadette van Wijk. Many, many circles & inspiration from all authors led to this paper on reward-based motor learning!

#VU_BW @Katinka3D, @JBJSmeets, Joyce Burgers en een fantastische groep studenten onderzochten in @NEMOamsterdam hoe succeskansen motorisch leren en #motivatie beïnvloeden. Kijk de video om te zien hoe dat ging! youtu.be/KK9H-qQFIrA?si=9c5A…

Door onnadenkendheid is wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid soms niet meer dan schijnprecisie.
Originele studie van @JBJSmeets over hoe leeftijd van proefpersonen systematisch een half jaar te kort gerapporteerd wordt.

The responses to this tweet made it to the scientific literature in my paper on the bias and precision of reporting the average age
(doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.202…).

Please retweet! A question for those who have human participants in their research. How do you determine the age of your participants (with which resolution)?

If we apply the most popular method to the average age of a youth soccer team, we get a result (red) that differs from the actual mean (blue):

Scientists have a peculiar way to report the average age of their human participants. They suggest they know this average with a few days precision, but introduce a half year bias. Read about it in my short paper doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.202… Thanks to all of you who answered my poll.

Voor NRC mocht ik voor “Jong Geleerd” een interview geven over mijn proefschrift (doi: 10.5463/thesis.619). Waarom worden meer mensen wagenziek in zelfrijdende auto’s? En is er een manier om dat op te lossen?! Antwoorden op die vragen lees je hierin terug: nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/06/27/om-…

This is an elegant experiment using a new task (grasping thin objects using a precision grip) to find out how grasping is controlled. The answer: "the digits-in-space hypothesis provides the most plausible account of the data". Worth reading!

We are so very proud of Hunter for landing this incredibly challenging and thought provoking study!!! Bottom line: there is a whole new life beyond biomimetics that we should be excited to explore...

Now out in @NatureHumBehav
We show that people can learn to control bionic hands just as effectively and in some ways better, using unnatural control strategies compared to strategies that mimic natural limb control.

In de krant lees je veel over de taalbeheersing van studenten. Als docent kom je pareltjes tegen. Een 1e jaars bachelor student schrijft “… wordt het onderwerp gevraagd te kiezen welke stimulus...”. Dat klinkt onbegrijpelijk, maar vertalen naar het Engels werkt verhelderend….
