Great video for teaching. It would be cool to see this for spiral sequences too.

Congrats to @evadeligiannis.bsky.social for the publication of her first paper, showing that binocular disparity enhances fMRI activation in depth areas but not face areas. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx.... Presenting 3D stims with accurate real-world geometry was a tech feat by the whole team!

Congratulations to Flo Martinez-Addiego and ‪@striemamit.bsky.social‬ for the publication of a cool new paper in PNAS showing that high-level actions like tool use generalize between hand and foot, even in individuals born without hands. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

How are actions represented in the motor system? Although the sensorimotor system is broadly organized somatotopically, higher-level sensorimotor a...

I'm so excited to have @emij.bsky.social join the lab and take us in exciting new directions! 🥳

Emiko J Muraki @emij.bsky.social · Aug 11

Excited to share that I’ve joined the @culhamari-lab.bsky.social Lab at Western University as a postdoctoral researcher ! I will be exploring 💭 mental imagery in 🫳🏼 visually-guided actions, especially in aphantasia. Can’t wait to dig in!

Please send recommendations for great papers that bring cognitive neuroscience closer the real world. It’s for an undergrad seminar course on “Cognitive Neuroscience for the Real World” and a review article. Empirical, theoretical, or review; broad or specific to subfields of cogneuro. Thanks!

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab (led by Flo Martinez Addiego and Yuqi Liu, in collab with @culhamari-lab.bsky.social)

We tested what drives the (re?)organization of motor tool-use areas in people born without hands, who use tools with their feet instead
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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 ...

Sofia Varon's new paper shows that participants are better at intercepting moving targets in VR when the shape of the trajectory is consistent with gravity. The results raise interesting questions about how motion perception incorporates trajectory shape. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
