There is a PhD position open in the lab to study how different Purkinje cell subpopulations contribute to optimal cerebellar control of movement.

How can we use fMRI to make inferences about cerebellar involvement in specific tasks? @ladanshahani's preprint introduces a clever new approach - and successfully tests it in the motor domain. Excited to be part of this!

Q: Are implicit adaptation and kinesthesia affected by loss of the hidden 6th sense (i.e., proprioception)?
A: No!
Check out our @biorxivpreprint: tinyurl.com/2eh5zanp

An analysis in @NatureHumBehav finds that around 12% of scientific editors publish at least one-fifth of their own academic articles in the journal they edit. The study also finds that only 14% of the editors are women. go.nature.com/3IU5ppm

Interested in learning more about the brain and how humans acquire&generalize an amazing repertoire of motor skills. I am recruiting PhD/MRes students! Competitive scholarships r available for high calibre domestic/international app

#ASFP2022 application statement submission closes tomorrow! Great opportunity for underrepresented/not-in-the-know applicants to psychology PhD programs to get feedback on personal statements from profs, grad students, and post-docs. See asfp.io/applicants for more info!

Is motor adaptation a form of associative learning?
In a new paper, now published in @eLife, we show that we can create associations between movement errors and arbitrary cues!

We’re hiring! fully funded PhD positions @MPICybernetics in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. Interested in timing, prediction, attention and consciousness? And how they rely on (non-)oscillatory dynamics and sub/cortical circuits? Come join us! bit.ly/3POCzXX
Does motor learning require movement?
Nope! It turns out that we just need to experience a surprise after making a motor plan.
Paper with @AForrence and @smickdougle now out in @PNASNews, link: bit.ly/3Pn0Lkj
Detail 🧵below. 1/7
Peep the paper for more details & experiments!

Also wanted to plug the supplement! We included a bunch of methods info at a reviewer's request, and I really like it! So important for reproducibility, and love discussing online/in lab methods, instructions, etc.
Shoutout to @AForrence for the beautiful task programming!

I am recruiting a postdoc to work on motor skill learning, with a focus on how learning scales as skills get more complex.
Please get in touch if interested, or catch me at #NCMDub22 next week!
