I am very happy and excited to share that I am starting a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at @mrccbu @Cambridge_Uni this September with @plasticity_lab! 🎓

👍🏽 How easily could you get to grips with a Third Thumb? The @plasticity_lab @mrccbu team tested a new device by @daniclode at the @RoyalSociety Summer Science Exhibition, and found that the public took to it fairly easily. Explore more 👉🏽 cam.ac.uk/stories/third-…

It was great to see @Stormzy back in Cambridge last week! 🤩 The musician was at @JesusCollegeCam to meet the students he, and @HSBC_UK, support through the Stormzy Scholarships. He also met with Vice-Chancellor Prof Deborah Prentice and the College’s Master, Sonita Alleyne.

I am happy to share that our visual masking study on the role of whole-body emotional expressions and gender in awareness is now available as a preprint. 🎓 ⁦@BodiesBig⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us in Cambridge for UK Sensorimotor this June! @UKSM2024 This is a fantastic opportunity to get together with the UK sensorimotor research community, more information on registration and presentation submissions is available on our website uksensorimotor2024.co.uk

From Monday 17th - Wednesday 19th June, we will be hosting the UK Sensorimotor Conference 2024 at the University of Cambridge! Registration is just £60, and submissions are open for posters and short-talk presentations

Thank you to everyone who attended the @mrccbu’s Mind Matters Science Night event yesterday evening. We had a great time and hope you did too! #sciencenight #camfest

Amazing talk by @Dr_Inkster on harnessing hip-hop and AI for suicide prevention! #AIUK @turinginst

Some interesting talks today at #AIUK about the future of responsible AI 👩🏻‍🎓 @turinginst

1/7 For the past decade, our team at Meta Reality Labs (previously CTRL-labs) has been dedicated to developing a neuromotor interface. Our goal is to address the Human Computer Interaction challenge of providing effortless, intuitive, and efficient input to computers.

@mrccbu are excited to announce the #CamFest2024 open evening ‘Mind Matters: An evening looking into the brain’ on Wednesday 20 March from 6pm. Enjoy hands-on activities, tours of Unit facilities and excellent short talks. Full details: mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/science… @Cambridge_Fest

Had a great time preparing this talk for #CBUMethodsDay - now it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas 😄❄

1/14 Just out in eLife rb.gy/33pu3y: Against Cortical Reorganization, a critical review by Tamar Makin and John Krakauer @blamlab, challenging historical perspectives on remapping. A great resource for educators developing seminars/modules on brain plasticity! A thread

🧠 Our brains have an amazing ability to 'rewire' themselves after loss of sight, amputation or stroke... right? Wrong, say Tamar Makin @plasticity_lab and John Krakauer @blamlab. The brain is merely using already existing – but latent – abilities.👇 bit.ly/49HzJ1G

Excited to join the #2023Respect4Neurodevelopment Conference in London today aimed at advancing neurotechnologies in neurodivergent communities! 🎓

Had a lot of fun at Cambridge @MRCBNDU yesterday. It was great to talk about our work on the motor system w the cognitive community & see many potential regions of overlap Special thanks to Tamar Makin and @plasticity_lab for hosting me and letting me play with their 3rd thumb

Sadly, this is the last tweet from #COGNESTIC 2023 - thank you for everyone who attended and participated. Soon we will start preparing for #COGNESTIC 2024 :-) @mrccbu

My hometown, #Kremenchuk, has been hit today, again. Cowardly, targeting civilians, like Russians do. When it happens in a place you know every street of and you see Russians (and tankies) making up military targets where you go jogging, you get to see all of their shamelessness.

Very excited to be joining this year’s #COGNESTIC at @mrccbu!
