Reaching Distance Influences Perceptual Decisions

Participants performed two perceptual discrimination tasks in which we manipulated the motor costs of the two response options by varying the distance to the response buttons. We found a bias...

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! preprints.org/manuscript/202… Poetic summary by Nina&me in the thread! #one_tweet_a_day

#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. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

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. nature.com/articles/s41562-0… @plasticity_lab @Chris_I_Baker
