The human body is remarkably adaptable, capable of integrating artificial enhancements from tools to prosthetic limbs. Researchers have used finger extensions to test how the brain updates its expectations over time. 🔗 elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…

🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨 Eureka moments feel like ⚡️lightning⚡️— sudden, brilliant, impossible to predict. Gauss thought of them as “divine intervention.” But in our new @PNASNews paper, we show that you can actually tell when a breakthrough is coming… 🧵(1/n)

Feedback control undistorts body representations: A possible solution to the hand paradox doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ryst… New theory paper with @peviani_v where we take a stab at reconciling the seemingly contradictory findings of distorted body representations & optimal motor control

Feedback control undistorts body representations: A possible solution to the hand paradox

One of the most consistent findings in the study of body representation is that they are geometrically distorted. This finding is in contrast with human’s dexterity and fine motor skills, which are...

Humans project tactile sensations from a tool into space, as if part of the body. How? We show tactile feedback is projected into gaze-centered coordinates, offering a framework for tool-based sensory projection. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… by Zografos, Medendorp & @LukeMillerNeuro

Gaze-centered spatial coding of touch on a hand-held tool

Humans possess the remarkable ability to project tactile sensations outside their body and onto a hand-held tool that they are using. Despite nearly a century of research, the computations underlying...

Check out our new study - a placebo controlled, randomized trial of peripheral vs central beta blockade on cardiac and respiratory interoception!
Ashley Tyrer@AshleyTyrer10 Mar 2025
1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share a new lab preprint - led by @MartinezAddiego, @YuqiLiu95703261, in collaboration with @CulhamARI_Lab. We tested what drives the (re?)organization of motor tool-use areas in people born without hands, who use tools with their feet instead. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Tool-use brain representations are independent of the acting body part and motor experience

The sensorimotor system is broadly organized somatotopically. However, an action-type organization has also been found: a division based on action-type independent of acting body parts has been shown...
