🚨 New preprint alert! Attention isn’t always helpful. We found that dividing attention can boost implicit adaptation—if timed right. A twist on the idea that distraction always impairs performance. w @benmillermills @TimCarroll_UQ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_neursci

Octopuses are reported to fall for the "rubber hand" illusion. Very interesting new paper in @CurrentBiology by Sumire Kawashima and Yuzuru Ikeda. Links below. 1/

New paper out at @CognitionJourn, with Anne Collins and Ham Huang -> "Dual effects of dual-tasking on instrumental learning" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share that our study “Interference underlies attenuation upon relearning in sensorimotor adaptation” is now out in @SfNJournals #eNeuro! eneuro.org/content/12/6/E… @ivryrich, @ivrylab

New pre-print: Intrinsic Motoneuron Excitability Differentiates Sarcopenic, Non-Sarcopenic, and Athletic Ageing Phenotypes 🔗 osf.io/preprints/osf/… @daly_prof, @DavidScottPhD, Brian Clark, and Jeff Lim

🚨 New Preprint Alert! 🚨Here we've revealed a novel mechanism of how attention shapes sensorimotor learning across 8 experiments. Key findings: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Excited to share that I've transitioned from Macquarie University to join @UQHealth as a Research Fellow. My time at Macquarie was incredibly rewarding, and I'm grateful for all the experiences and support. Looking forward to new challenges and opportunities at UQ!

Happy to share our new work, a long, dedicated effort by the amazing @oza_anushka @MastishkayNamah & @Apoorva___18. Thanks to the reviewers for their top-notch feedback and gratitude to the @PLOSBiology editors for their exceptional handling of our paper dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

New lab preprint, led by the inimitable Naser Al-Fawakhiri. Fitts' Law is one of a select few reliable psychophysical laws. However, we had a fun thought about it – the "D" term in Fitts' Law is underdetermined. Is D the movement distance to a goal (MD) or visual distance (VD)?

I have a PhD scholarship available, to examine the role of dopamine in motor learning and motor control, in collaboration with @clatella1 Please email me on [email protected] for more info. app deadline: 12 Jun intranet.ecu.edu.au/research/for-r…

I'm extremely happy to share another published paper from my PhD, now out in @JPhysiol - with @coxontweets @ClaireJCad @JoshuaHendrikse @ETaylor466490 @trevor_chong @sophandrews @MoveNeuro @turnerinstitute See🧵below physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

Exercise Intensity Terminology is a bit of a mess 😵‍💫 Here is our attempt to try and summarise some of the different approaches.

I am recruiting PhD students & postdocs at @CarnegieMellon as an assistant professor in #Psychology for fall 2024! Looking for folks passionate about motor learning - the way we acquire, adapt, and retain skilled movements. tsaylab.com

Happy to announce an open #postdoc position in cognitive-motor #neuroscience to work with me and @sskphdpt on several funded projects. No need for US citizenship. See ad: mrri.org/job-opportunit… Please re-post!

Excited to announce our latest preprint – with Tricia Gibo and Maurice Smith – “Cerebellar damage impairs long-term but not short-term sensorimotor memory”! A #tweetprint: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In my third, and our first (@ivrylab, @tianhe, @abramsabrina, @avraham_guy, @tsay_jonathan, @Katinka3D , @JBJSmeets ), paper, we show implicit reward-based motor learning and that this is not driven by use-dependent learning. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
