Super excited that our new paper is out!
Following retinal gene-therapy, congenitally colorblind children (achromats) show recovered(!!) neural cone maps in early visual cortex. So grateful to be a part of this groundbreaking study. @ChildVisionLab @TesDekker @MahtabFrhb

Farahbakhsh et al. show that gene therapy can activate dormant cone photoreceptor pathways in children with achromatopsia, a monogenic disease that causes complete loss of colour vision. The changes are paired with improved visual function. bit.ly/3dJ8QBK

How do we infer perceptual absences? Do beliefs about perception play a role in such inferences? And how does it all relate to cellist Natalia Gutman’s career decisions? Find answers in our new preprint with @moran_rani and @ClarePress:

While many believe being ‘more in tune with your body’ improves mental health, we surprisingly found the opposite: worse mental health (higher anxiety, depression, stress, fatigue & reduced well-being)—with stronger stomach-brain connections.

Modulating networks using DBS is an effective treatment for PD – but which circuits map to improvements in individual symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and axial? A 🧵 about our new paper out now in @NatureComms doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-4… @netstim_org

How can vision scientists drive real-world impact?
@SharonGutnick and I will hear from Lotfi Merabet (HMS), @jeremymwolfe (HMS), @cogscimon (NSF/Rice) & Cheri Wiggs (NEI) at a #VSS2024 satellite Mon 2-5p. Join us!

How do we translate what we learn from vision science to real-world impact?
@SharonGutnick and I will explore this in a @VSSMtg satellite, with Lotfi Merabet (HMS) @jeremymwolfe (HMS) @cogscimon (NSF/Rice), Cheri Wiggs (NEI)
Join us! #VSS2024

We are currently recruiting for the next phase of the LIFE study on the mechanisms underlying the effects of different types of physical activity in depression - if you or anyone you know are interested (based in the London area) please ask them to get in touch!

…which investigates the various ways in which different types of physical activity might function as antidepressants.
They are currently actively recruiting participants who meet specific criteria to take part in their study ➡️ tinyurl.com/2c6wvhmc

I'm soon going to be looking for a senior postdoc to join my lab who is interested in transitioning to independence and in building their own group, with a strong background in vision science, cognitive computational neuroscience or visual neuroscience. Please RT 1/3

Another incredibly well crafted and insightful work by the brilliant @mazormatan and colleagues.
This time asking how good are we at pretending we don't know something and what does that teach us about how well we know ourselves?
13 Mar 2024
How good are we at knowing what we would think and do if our beliefs were different? In a new preprint with @chazfirestone and @ibphillips, we use pretense behavior to show that the answer is *remarkably good* osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pg…

We need to retune our empathy to fit the evidence, in relation to both animals and AI. (A clip from an event at Princeton with @jeffrsebo and @KristinAndrewz. The camera angle is weird because it's academia.)
