I am thrilled to share that the @dfg_public is financing my proposal, "Addressing the generalizability crisis with large language models," as part of the @meta_rep priority program.
I will soon announce openings for a PhD and a Postdoc position at @mpib_berlin (three years, starting early 2025) to work with me, @susafiedler, @marcel_binz, and @rui__mata on LLM applications aimed at improving generalizability in the behavioral and social sciences.
Please share and reach out if interested.

NEW PAPER! 📢
The latest in our series of studies on the sensory embodiment of tools
A Somatosensory Computation That Unifies Limbs & Tools eneuro.org/content/10/11/ENE…
We find that localising touch on a tool repurposes *the same computation* used to localise touch on the body

You have a strong background in “digital science“ (e.g. data science, AI) AND want to combine your research with (cognitive or clinical) neuroscience?
Also, you want to live and work in a beautiful environment?
Then apply for a professorship @PLUS_1622

❗️Preprint Alert❗️ 🤘🍾🎉
We show that both localization-based perceptual hand maps and tactile distance perception on the hand change following a recalibration protocol that is based on visuotactile ventriloquism.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Results also tell something about visuotactile ventriloquism: it seems to be grounded in a bodily map that reacts plastically to multisensory stimulation.
