People have made the point that the university already over-emphasizes the acquisition of funding. In celebrating that rather than the actual discovery, they will further lose sight of their societal function in pushing scientific frontiers.

New preprint! 🥳 How do we discover what to do when a movement goes wrong? Answer: hypothesis testing (HT) - testing candidate motor solutions based on sensory evidence. HT explains how we explore, and when exploration gives way to an “aha!” moment. tinyurl.com/3nsyc96d

Understanding Strategic Motor Learning as a Process of Hypothesis Testing

Multiple learning processes contribute to successful goal-directed actions under changing physiological states, biomechanical constraints, and environmental contexts. Among these, explicit strategies...

Check out our latest paper, where we developed a novel theory where desirability and cognitive effort tune the control gains that govern deliberation during perceptual decsion-making. Outstanding work by the superb, @Jan_Calalo. journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Special thanks to @Jan_Calalo for driving this work, @SethSullivan_, Isaac Kurtzer, Michael Carter, and the other coauthors for all the ideas that went into developing this new theory. Thanks for reading!

How can we measure how the nervous system knows, moment to moment, where the body is as it moves? We introduce a continuous tracking task to measure the hidden dynamics of proprioception—revealing it is faster and more precise than vision during motion. tinyurl.com/yf297k53

Massive study published yesterday in @NatureHumBehav for anyone in the neuropsychiatry/mind-brain-behavior spaces Direct in vivo evidence for how attention can modulate the immune system in ways that seem almost unbelievable nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Voluntary attention regulates acute immune responses in humans

Nature Human Behaviour - Mizrachi et al. show that directing attention to bodily sensations, rather than away, promotes more regulated acute inflammatory responses in healthy volunteers, revealing...
