Got you beat. After 3+ decades 'professing', I'm taking a full month, including a family vacation and a (non-presenting) international conference.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation dissociates egocentric vs. allocentric network hubs for memory guided reach www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
We know a lot about reach, but what about the placement movements that often follow: do they produce the same cortico-cerebellar activity and functional networks? Find out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @erezfreud.bsky.social @yorku-cian.bsky.social
@yorku-cian.bsky.social students presenting their work for 'neuroscience day' today.
I've watched that scene several times and never noticed my car (same year & model) in the background till now.
Visuomotor experiments usually study how visual cues are integrated into the motor system, but rarely consider about how our task instructions are integrated into the plan. We address this question here using event related fMRI and graph theory analysis: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
The in-press version of our (@bbaltaretu.bsky.social) review 'Cortical Mechanisms for Transsaccadic Vision: Extrinsic and Intrinsic Feature Updating' is now available here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
The deadline for CSBBCS abstracts has been extended to March 25: www.csbbcs.org/meetings/202... We already received a record # symposium submissions! @yorku-cian.bsky.social @erezfreud.bsky.social @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social @action-brain.bsky.social @canacn.bsky.social
Caitlin Mullin, Executive Program Director for @connectedminds.bsky.social, kicking off our annual retreat schedule.
SCIENTIFIC ENGINEER position at York University, Toronto. The @connectedminds.bsky.social program is looking for someone with a degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, Automation, Instrumentation, or a related field, and experience working in a research setting. www.yorku.ca/research/wp-...
To my American colleagues: sorry, I won't be visiting the USA this year. Logic says we should support you and your great science, but with the continued attacks against Canada, it's become emotional. I'll send trainees if they want to go, but also offer them alternatives in Canada, Europe and Asia.
Registration and poster abstract submission now open for the @yorku-cian.bsky.social symposium on 'Cognition & Action', June 4,5 following CSBBCS, with a mix of speaker topics on philosophy, behaviour, neuroimaging, and neurophysiology. See: www.yorku.ca/research/cia...
In the mean time, the pommel (the piece at end of the handle) must be shaped using careful file-work. This version will replicate the original, including the imperfections.
And now etching the mysterious symbols: perhaps a religious invocation.
Making a fuller (a Grove that reduces weight without loosing strength). This one somewhat unusual because it's flat instead of rounded.
