I wanted to share my reasons why I think it is of paramount importance to attend a No King’s protest on October 18, and to make the case to everyone you know to do the same.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

correct, I agree. There is some nice work published by Carrasco and Huxlin on visual training in hemianopia with an attentional procedure.
This is an attentional manipulation. There are no left/right hemispheric differences after an early visual cortex lesion. However, the procedure could certainly be modified for vision recovery in hemianopia, maybe using a monocular deprivation approach. But we are currently testing neglect patients.
What happens when you force the brain to attend to just one side of space—and then nudge its attention network with brain stimulation?
Our work reveals a hemispheric dissociation in how attention and plasticity interact—and points to new strategies for neurorehabilitation.

Public protests are important for solidarity & signaling. But the real work having impact right now is in the courts. So if you've attended protests and are thinking 'what's next?' here are some legal funds to donate to:
