Walking while blindfolded shows the importance of visual cues needed to manage precise foot placement & avoid falling. But how do we make decisions when there is an abundance of visual cues to choose from? Exciting new research from the Sensorimotor Neuroscience Lab bit.ly/3qbRz4M Javi Domínguez Zamora

Huge congratulations to @AmandaBakkum for successfully defending her PhD yesterday! We are so proud and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

Now published in print in Current Biology our latest work with Javi Domínguez Zamora: Motives driving gaze and walking decisions. Thank you @ssukumar92 and Alaa Ahmed for their great dispatch (cell.com/current-biolog…). Link to article: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
