Eurohaptics is finished, Big Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, artists, student volonteers, demo presenters, poster presenters. Looking forward to seeing you again in Sienna eurohaptics.org/ehc2026/

As CNRS 🌍 ambassador, I gotta mention that France 🇫🇷 made it to the Euro 2024 ⚽️ semifinals without scoring a single goal in open play (just penalties and opponents’ own goals)!

New open postdoc position in the Brain, Body, & Technology Lab at the Donders Institute ! We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with an interest in the computational and neural underpinnings of body augmentation and embodiment. Deadline: 6 September, 2024 Link: ru.nl/en/working-at/…

So excited to be a part of this Society for Neuroscience (SfN) nanosymposium at SfN 2024 in Chicago organized by solaiman.shokur!

Queen guitarist Brian May on science: "Everything comes down to asking the right questions and keeping an open mind, and resisting the terrible inclination that scientists have, because they’re human beings, of finding what you expect to find." go.nature.com/4dT5kOU

We report the 3D architecture and mechanism of touch detection by the Pacinian corpuscle. Contrary to the textbook knowledge, the outer core is dispensable for frequency detection. A new study by Luke Ziolkowski and Yury Nikolaev biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The future of Marseille neurosciences is bright! Four ERC starting grants for new PIs: our Maud Gratuze at INP Marseille, Fanny Cazettes at our neighbors INT, Baptiste Libé-Philippot at IBDM, and Isabelle Dautriche at LPC. Congrats 🎉

🌟Exciting PhD opportunity🌟 If you are interested in touch, interoception, mental health, please apply by the 15th of October and get in touch with me if you have any questions. More information below Queen Mary University of London QMUL Psychology findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

Question: can mechanoreceptive (tactile) afferents convey pain? E.g. if you apply a stimulus that drives an FA-I at 600 spikes/s, is this pain or just intense? Asking for a friend 😉. Thoughts?

New paper alert! In a collaboration with Ilona Croy's group and Paula Trotter, we have further developed and extended how we capture touch experiences. A shortened English TEAQ, questionnaire validated in German and French doi.org/10.1016/j.paid…

#SfN24 starts today! What a great welcome already in wonderful #Chicago. Looking forward to giving our talks in nanosymposium NANO04 this afternoon

Another great day at #SfN24, lots of super interesting ideas and discussions. Proud to be representing Marseille and NeuroMarseille - NeuroSchool at the Neuroscience in France booth in 1832, check out all the French network and opportunities there!

And just like that, #SfN24 comes to a close! Thank you to everyone who joined us for an amazing week of groundbreaking science, inspiring connections, and unforgettable moments. See you in San Diego for #SfN25! #NeuroTwitter #Chicago #neuroscience #SciTwitter

Look north in the coming nights and you may spot the #NorthernLights 👀 A coronal mass ejection from the sun is earth bound and whilst there's some uncertainty on its arrival time, sightings of the #aurora are likely in northern areas with a slight chance in the south too

The aurora has been visible across many parts of the UK this evening Here are some photos taken by our meteorologists situated across the country

#SfN24 #Chicago it’s been fantastic, what a great conference with excellent neuroscience presented and discussions. As an aside, I adore space weather and the #aurora is VERY active tonight. Go outside when dark and look north… the sky may be filled with red and green

USA, the #aurora is coming for you! spaceweather.com

UPDATE! CME passage intensified; things are favorable for G4 levels to potentially continue into night hours. Keep space weather aware at swpc.noaa.gov for the latest. We take actions to notify officials and critical infrastructure operators, so you can enjoy the aurora
