#JNeurosci: Kashefi et al. dissociate between the “what” and “how” components of motor sequence learning and provides evidence for the development of motoric sequence representations that guide optimal movement execution.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

The basic pattern shown in this YouGov survey is that people overestimate minorities and underestimate majorities. This basic pattern--overestimating small proportions and underestimating large ones--is due to *psychophysics*.

New pre-print day! Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex 🧠 (with Ed Awh & @serences.bsky.social)

Thrilled that our new review "Motor Working Memory" is now in press at TiCS!

We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue

If you run a life science lab where research has either significantly slowed or shut down completely due to Trump administration policies, I’d like to hear your story. I'm a biotech and life sciences reporter for @statnews.com, and you can reach me at [email protected] #journorequest

New pre-print!

We attempt to survey the two different universes of motor learning research: basic (meetings like NCM, MLMC) and applied (e.g. NASPSA), and consider what these fields can learn from each other and what the future might look like if they can be better integrated.

This thread mostly sums up my view on it as well

The lateral prefrontal cortex 🧠— which we think of as critical for goal driven behavior + is a target for psychiatric treatments— is fundamentally different in individuals relative to the group averages we’ve often studied.
