Another amazing piece of work by @hunterschone.bsky.social

The only person I know that could have pulled off such a complicated project.

Really proud to be a part of it!

Now out in @natneuro.nature.com

What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?

Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

Excited to share our new preprint...

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

Our "I would have seen it if it were there" paper — a collaboration with @ranimo.bsky.social and @clarepress.bsky.social — is now out in Psych. Review.

There’s a lot in this paper, but here are what I see as the 3 main takeaways:

psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
The title of the paper, "Beliefs about Perception Shape Perceptual Inference: An Ideal Observer Model of Detection", with the author names, and Fig. 1: a schematic of an inverse optics account of vision.

Hey Bluesky! I’m excited to share my new preprint with @matanmazor.bsky.social and @ruvidar.bsky.social, where we show that surface-level questionnaire filling behaviours drive correlations between mental health and metacognition (confidence ratings). osf.io/preprints/ps... [1/14]

Thrilled to see this monumental work in @thelancet.bsky.social! A single subretinal injection led to staggering improvements in nearly blind children, while behavioural and EEG data from our lab reveal a dramatic boost in function and cortex activity. A major leap for vision restoration! t.ly/fvdQy
Gene therapy in children with AIPL1-associated severe retinal dystrophy: an open-label, first-in-human interventional study
