I study motor control, mostly of balance and walking. Particularly interested in the effect of our environment and psychological state on how we control movement. (I'm terming this "psychoneuromechanics" for now). Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University
- Reposted by Jen DaviesBoth MRC and BBSRC responsive modes now withdrawn until further notice. Existing applications unlikely to succeed (late 2025 round expecting 1-5% success rate). Listen, I get that UKRI wants to pivot. But killing both at once is devastating. Let's hope at least one opens by summer... #AcademicSky

- Reposted by Jen DaviesTo find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey: forms.gle/83Abpj5F8qzd... It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information. We'll use the answers to plan our future work. Please share! 🙏🙏🙏 ⚡

- Let's imagine a company tells 100 employees that in 2 months time, 20 of them will be fired and gives no indication of how the decision will be made as to which 20 individuals this will be. [1/5]
- Cardiff University run paid summer on-campus internships for students, which is a great initiative. I advertised a research internship for this year and received 27 applications. In all honesty, I would have been very happy to give it to any one of at least 25 of these students.

- Reposted by Jen DaviesI put some introductory #EEG / #MEG videos together, based on our introduction to #neuroimaging at the @mrccbu.bsky.social : youtube.com/playlist?lis.... They should cover the most common aspects of EEG/MEG analysis, including pre-processing, source estimation and functional connectivity.

- Reposted by Jen DaviesHey #StatsSky, what are you favorite papers to cite when you need to justify something that is obvious (I once had a reviewer ask we justify the use of logistic regression on a binary outcome) or when you need to push-back on silly reviewer requests (e.g., asking for p-values in table 1)?
