- Happy to hear any and all feedback on our discussion article! So much fun to work with this amazing set of authors :)
- 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... 🧵1/9
- Loss of sensory input has long been used to study brain plasticity - here, we challenge the prevailing view of massive reorganization in a longitudinal study of amputees Massive effort from @hunterschone.bsky.social who was in the awesome NIH/UCL PhD program with @plasticity-lab.bsky.social
- 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 www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02037-7 🧵1/18
- Amazing effort from @gcaedwards.bsky.social @ryanruhde.bsky.social Mica Carroll to rigorously test hf-tRNS on visual cortex. We didn’t replicate, but learned a lot and have ideas for moving forward Thanks to @pci-regreports.bsky.social for constructive guidance through the whole process
- High-frequency transcranial random noise stimulation (hf-tRNS) targeted at motion processing region hMT+ does not improve visual motion discrimination. Failed #replication in #registeredreport @ryanruhde.bsky.social Mica Carroll @cibaker.bsky.social #trns #nibs #NIMH doi.org/10.1016/j.co... 1/6
- Wonderful tribute to Carl Olson who sadly passed away at the end of last year. Carl was a major intellectual force who had a profound influence on so many of us who were fortunate to spend time in his lab and in the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition
- Matthew Smith and I cowrote this obituary about Carl Olson, who passed away recently. Carl was my postdoc mentor and was absolutely amazing. I will miss him💔 authors.elsevier.com/c/1knqf3BtfH...

- Here’s an example of one we published: doi.org/10.1016/j.co... Happy to share more about our experience if it’s helpful @linateichmann.bsky.social
