Super excited to share our paper on how the human brain encodes reach targets in gaze and body-centric reference frames during early and late planning: bit.ly/3CNKyD5

Please check out our new preprint! We asked the question: Does the corticospinal pathway rely on neural computations commonly observed across sensory systems? Our data suggest yes it does! Maybe to separate figure from ground. w/ @CoreyWadsley @SenorGusta doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Happy to share our paper showing repetition challenges flexible control of prehensile actions under conditions of heightened visual uncertainty. Proud of, and lucky to have, superstar PhD student @csager. Also loved working with Ian Greenhouse onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…
What a special honor to celebrate Kathleen and her mighty impactful career. You have and always will be an inspiration. @kathleen_friel @CPcenter_TC @FerreMtrCrtx @BurkeNeuroSci




A traffic light goes green—sometimes with a honk. Does that change how your brain plans to move? 🚦🔊 Proud of our work led by the great @n_kreter: neural encoding of action goals depends on the sensory modality of the initiation cue🧠tiny.cc/ecjm001 @hphyuo

Now published in The Journal of Neuroscience! @SfNJournals jneurosci.org/content/45/3/e… With @_mshahbazi and @DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab
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.
My research group is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study the principles of coadaptation between human-human and human-adaptive agent pairs. Ad below. Please retweet!
Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/
New preprint with Gunnar Blohm (Ex X). We suggest that the old serial transformation story in motor planning needs updating: intrinsic (muscle like) motor plans seem to appear BEFORE extrinsic (spatial) plans... 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
#JNeurosci | @GiacomoAriani, @_mshahbazi, and @diedrichsenlab discovered that cortical brain regions engaged during the planning and initiation of movements remained engaged throughout movement sequence performance. This suggests that planning and execution of movement are…
Our review 'Neural integration of egocentric and allocentric visual cues in the gaze system' now available. Includes human behavior, imaging, monkey gaze system, our recent work on ego-allo integration in frontal gaze centers, and a conceptual model. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

We are happy to announce our first in-house conference! We are preparing an outstanding speakers lineup. Stay tuned!
When you watch someone else learn a behavior, how well do you learn it yourself? How well do you retain what you've learned from your observations? New work from @paulgribble provides the answers. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…
Preprint alert! Inspired by non-human primate work dissociating the reference frame in which a target goal is planned, we show that human dorsomedial reach stream encodes a target's distance in gaze and body-centric reference frames: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
