Preprint alert! Inspired by non-human primate work dissociating the reference frame in which a target goal is planned, we show that human dorsomedial reach stream encodes a target's distance in gaze and body-centric reference frames: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

When you watch someone else learn a behavior, how well do you learn it yourself? How well do you retain what you've learned from your observations? New work from @paulgribble provides the answers. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Please re-post:

Our review 'Neural integration of egocentric and allocentric visual cues in the gaze system' now available. Includes human behavior, imaging, monkey gaze system, our recent work on ego-allo integration in frontal gaze centers, and a conceptual model. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

#JNeurosci | Giacomo Ariani, Mahdiyar Shahbazi, and DiedrichsenLab discovered that cortical brain regions engaged during the planning and initiation of movements remained engaged throughout movement sequence performance. This suggests that planning and execution of movement are

New preprint with Gunnar Blohm (Ex X). We suggest that the old serial transformation story in motor planning needs updating: intrinsic (muscle like) motor plans seem to appear BEFORE extrinsic (spatial) plans... 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with Andrew Pruszynski – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

My research group is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study the principles of coadaptation between human-human and human-adaptive agent pairs. Ad below. Please retweet!

A traffic light goes green—sometimes with a honk. Does that change how your brain plans to move? 🚦🔊 Proud of our work led by the great Nick Kreter: neural encoding of action goals depends on the sensory modality of the initiation cue🧠tiny.cc/ecjm001 @hphyuo

Happy to share our paper showing repetition challenges flexible control of prehensile actions under conditions of heightened visual uncertainty. Proud of, and lucky to have, superstar PhD student Christina Sager. Also loved working with Ian Greenhouse onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…
