Watching @earlkmiller.bsky.social’s SFN talk on the train to San Diego. I understand that I’m not missing anything b/c they stop letting people in when the seats were all full. Go Earl!
Our target discussion article out in Cognitive Neuroscience! It will be followed by peer commentary and our responses. If you would like to write a commentary, please reach out to the journal! 1/18 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @cibaker.bsky.social @susanwardle.bsky.social
Eye movements, vision and memory through the lens of Sherlock - awesome collaborative project led by @matthiasnau.bsky.social
Excited to share our new paper w/ @cibaker.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com linking active vision & memory!
We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief

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

Thanks to @pci-regreports.bsky.social for the thorough reviews and recommendations 6/6
Replication is critical to demonstrate the robustness of non-invasive stimulation techniques both for use in research and clinical application 5/6
Compared to the original study, minor modifications in the stimulation protocol were present: 1) larger electrode over targeted hMT+, 2) within-subject active control, 3) larger sample size, and 4) behavioral thresholding parameters. What does it mean if these modifications impacted replication? 4/6
Our motivation: replication of hf-tRNS facilitatory effects on behavior. The overwhelming evidence that hMT+ is critical for contralateral motion processing made it a strong test case for observing hf-tRNS neuromodulatory influence over behavior 3/6
hf-tRNS showed no effect in comparison to both within-session and within-subject sham and active control (left forehead) 2/6
High-frequency transcranial random noise stimulation (hf-tRNS) targeted at motion processing region hMT+ does not improve visual motion discrimination. Failed #replication in #registeredreport
