- If you are at #SfN25 and interested in proprioception or motor skill learning, stop by our posters! Sunday morning (L14) and Tuesday morning (T5).
- 🧠Want to start a #PhD in sensorimotor #neuroscience in Fall 2026? Our NIH- and NSF-funded lab at @iubloomington.bsky.social uses human behavior and noninvasive brain stimulation to study motor learning and perception. More info: blocklab.net/openings.html or hjblock@iu.edu. Deadline is Dec. 15.
- Reposted by Hannah BlockPreprint alert! Individual preferences in relying on vision or proprioception in reaching show distinct patterns in connectivity across sensorimotor network. Happy to have contributed to this nice piece of work by Kess, @hjblock.bsky.social and other cool people! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- 🚨It's published! 🚨Our results support highly-simplified-model "B", if you're wondering. The Somatosensory Cortex and Body Representation: Updating the Motor System during a Visuoproprioceptive Cue Conflict www.jneurosci.org/content/45/3...
- Reposted by Hannah BlockWhat happens to motor adaptation—the way we correct errors with feedback—when feedback is indirect, like a number on a screen? In our new paper in @royalsociety.org, we found that indirect feedback hinders learning compared to sensory feedback. tinyurl.com/5d32c99e
- (1/5)📢Now with bonus experiment!📢Somatosensory cortex and body representation. When hand representation is modified by introducing a conflict between visual and proprioceptive cues, the motor system receives updates directly from primary somatosensory cortex (SI). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- 📢New preprint! The brain may handle visuo-proprioceptive cue conflicts differently for a dynamic hand undergoing visuomotor adaptation than for a static hand. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
