Our paper "Large-scale citizen science reveals predictors of sensorimotor adaptation" is now published in Nature Human Behaviour! Here's a thread on our 5-year journey (2019 - 2024) and findings. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4156…

This Sunday I'm back at @EurekaMuseum, this time with my own research! ⌨️🕹 Young families can test their tapping and typing skills with #TurboTyping, and I'll be talking about my career as an Experimental Psychology Researcher for Women in Science Day 🤩👩‍🔬

Very cool to see the TurboTyping arcade machine in the wild! This was once just a dream of ours that Dr Em Williams made a reality!

De Novo Sensorimotor Skill Learning Through Reuse of Movement Components biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Check out this preprint from George Gabriel. Multi-day skill learning and generalization of continuous cursor control from a redundant EMG interface mapping. The timing and shape of idioscyncratic muscle contractions are refined from feedback, then reused in different contexts.

Another preprint from a former UO Human Physiology undergraduate (Isaiah Mills) first-author: Failed stopping transiently suppresses the electromyogram in task-irrelevant muscles biorxiv.org/content/10.110… w/ Mitch Fisher MS Corey Wadsley

🥳 Congrats to Dr. Matthew Warburton @m_warb, who passed his viva last Friday with no corrections and a recommendation of research excellence! ⭐️ Matthew will continue working with CAER as a researcher, with plans for an academic career. Well done, Matthew! 👏

Matthew is definitely a talent to keep your eye on.

The Origin of Movement Biases During Reaching biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Where does the motor bias originate? In this new preprint with Jonathan Sanching Tsay @tsay.bsky.social Ryan Morehead Ivry Laboratories, we show motor biases arise from the transformation of eye-centered visual information (where is the target) into hand-centric proprioceptive space during motor planning.

New preprint!!! Tianhe Wang and colleagues dive into movement biases. Check it out!

Tianhe has done great work on this project! It’s definitely worth taking a look. Funny to think it all started from checking the calibration of our different visuomotor reaching rigs…

Question: Does the relevance of visual feedback influence how we subconsciously correct for errors in our movement? Answer: Yes! In our paper in Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, we showed that *implicit* motor adaptation is modulated by the relevance of visual feedback. shorturl.at/jnoGM

Come to Yale! 🧠My lab is looking for a new full-time RA/Post-Bac🧠 All psych- & neuro-related scientific backgrounds welcome, experience with behavioral methods and/or EEG/fMRI a plus! Contact me here if interested (and please RT!) -> actcompthink.org/contact.html

In a new preprint, Rich Ivry and I dive into the mechanism underlying attenuation upon relearning in sensorimotor adaptation. TLDR: Interference. But you should read - there is a surprising twist 🙂... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Details 👇 1/13

Very excited about this new preprint from my lab, led by the inimitable (and twitterless) Juliana Trach! "Structured Action Preparation during Visuomotor Decision-making" 1/13 osf.io/preprints/psya…

We’re all going on a Summer Holiday! Reception are off for a camping adventure. Taking our learning outside for a day of fun! Can you think of anywhere better to spend a sunny Friday? #eyfs #alfiegoescamping #shirleyhughes #Ilkley #Reception #outdoorlearning

In a series of experiments involving over 400 human participants, we found that motor adaptation was reduced by symbolic compared to sensory feedback. tinyurl.com/474w8crk 🧵 Yifei Chen Sabrina Abram Ivry Laboratories

Question: How does #aging impact #motor #learning? Answer: Aging enhances implicit learning, but reduces explicit motor learning. New bioRxiv: tinyurl.com/4nw3snwb Amazing work led by Elizabeth Cisneros! S. Karny, Ivry Laboratories UCBerkeley Psychology CMUPSYCH @cmuneurosci

🚨 I'm joining Rutgers' Neurosurgery (Rutgers RWJMedSchool) and the Brain Health Institute (Rutgers Brain Health Institute) as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor this Fall! 🚨 My lab will use direct-brain recordings to study the neural computations weaving together human decisions, emotions, and memories.
