- Reposted by joshcashabackThis paper expands my research methods to include transcutaneous nerve stimulation and fNIRS. We used a multi-method approach to measure hemodynamic responses during a 45-minute session, revealing a nonlinear temporal potentiation mechanism centered in the posterior parietal cortex.

- Reposted by joshcashabackDeadline to submit for oral presentations at #NCMKobe26 is in just under a month! We especially welcome Team/Panel proposals: 2 hour session w 4 talks + discussion. Historically, the acceptance rate is higher for panels than for individual talks. Poster submission closes in February.
- Don't forget to get your submission in for #NCMKobe26! Team/panel and individual orals close at 23:59 PDT Dec 1. Learn more - ncm-society.org/subm...

- Maybe it is just me, but I don't really care about academics posting about the secondary things (grants / awards) on social media. But I do care about and want to see is the primary thing that matters in science, the work / papers you have done.

- Reposted by joshcashabackwow, I'm proud of PhD student Jake Stephens' work with Tim Cope and me on understanding multi sensory proprioceptive integration on this work.
- 🎓EDITOR'S PICK🎓 In this #ShortCommunications Stephens, @lenating.bsky.social and Cope (Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology) question how can combinations of feedback from multiple propriosensor types signal muscle mechanical state variables for control. 📜 buff.ly/PLi6tYp

- How do animals walk stably in the presence of intrinsic noise or external perturbations? biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We lack a unified answer to this question across species. In this preprint, we find that legged species use a shared strategy for stable locomotion: foot placement control! (1/6)
- Great paper. A must read!
- New Pre-Print: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... We’re all familiar with having to practice a new skill to get better at it, but what really happens during practice? The answer, I propose, is reinforcement learning - specifically policy-gradient reinforcement learning. Overview 🧵 below...

- Reposted by joshcashabackNew pre-print! We attempt to survey the two different universes of motor learning research: basic (meetings like NCM, MLMC) and applied (e.g. NASPSA), and consider what these fields can learn from each other and what the future might look like if they can be better integrated.
