The latest paper from my postdoc at @wusmsl. This one was a long time in the making (for obvious reasons). The #tweeprint below is good, but make sure to head over to the preprint for more details and additional findings that didn't make it into the summary.
0/6 #tweeprint alert! In this new paper, @GiacomoAriani and @_mshahbazi examine the neural control of rapid sequences of finger movements, such as those required when buttoning a shirt or texting with a smartphone. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
In this new study, Liu et al. examine the role of sustained neural activity in the planning and production of speech sequences. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In Heraklion, Crete for @ASSC2025. Excited for my first time at this conference! Reach out if you’d like to see your #consciousness research in @NatureHumBehav or to chat about science #publishing in general. #ASSC28

Now published in The Journal of Neuroscience! @SfNJournals jneurosci.org/content/45/3/e… With @_mshahbazi and @DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab

In this Article, @zzwziwei and @monicarosenb build a model that predicts surprise from brain network dynamics revealing similarities across distinct contexts (task learning, basketball watching, and cartoon viewing). @UChicagoPsych @UChicago_Brains nature.com/articles/s4156…
We're happy to announce that Nature Human Behaviour is now officially also on Bluesky! 🦋 You can follow us here: @naturehumbehav.bsky.social
🚨 Looking for a postdoc/research-scientist/lecturer position in the UK 🇬🇧, mid-2025! Q: How does the visual cortex acquire its expressivity (SSL/RL), process visual relations, and interface with decision-making networks? #NeuroAI #CogSci #CompNeuro CV: sushrutthorat.com/assets/cv-full…
Does your ethics review board or IRB or Human Research Committee require sample size justification for non-clinical trials? Should it?
Job alert! We're seeking a science reporting fellow to report and write news articles for our website.

🧵1/ Very excited to share new consortium paper celebrating @CenturyOfEEG @academicEEG & predicting its impact on #neuroscience & society over the next 100 years @NatureHumBehav #EEG100 leeds.ac.uk/main-index/new…
Ok… this is amazing! Natalia Vélez has created stunning sketches from #CogSci2024 that you need to see!
It's good to be back! Here are some sketches from #CogSci2024:
Engaging tour de force talk by @KiaNobre on the second day of #CogSci2024. All the fascinating ways in which working memory interacts with perception, attention, and movement. @cogsci_soc

Very strong opening talk at #CogSci2024 by @morganbarense on taking memory research outside of the lab. So much food for thought. @cogsci_soc

Tomorrow I’ll be heading out to Rotterdam for #CogSci2024. I'll be there for the next few days representing @NatureHumBehav. Happy to chat about #publishing with us but also #academia and #science more broadly. Come find me at @cogsci_soc or reach out here.
