Qué lleva a un juez del Tribunal Superior de Justícia de Cataluña a decir: "CON ELLO NO SE ATRAE AL TALENTO; SE ESPANTA"? Pues una discriminación que afecta a investigadores #RamónyCajal de muchas Universidades Públicas, incluida la @UniBarcelona... Abro🧵👇👇 con detalles 1/N

"Anticipating Multisensory Environments: Evidence for a Supra-modal Predictive System" 📢 New paper from: @msabioal7 @alepebel & @llfuentemilla sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵👇 (1/8)

@JeffMYau science bitch! it seems that there is a slight advantage for your right hand ;) Anyways, very good news to see that you are recovering your strength

Grip strength… 400 days and counting! #cidp #autoimmune #raredisease #disabled #postcovid

@JeffMYau boiling water perhaps? ;D amazing jeff!

These neurons are definitely doing something related to behavior 🤩

Why is everybody thrilled on Twitter?

@JeffMYau @PP_borre @_janzimmermann_ @NeuroPolarbear congrats Jeff!! amazing job.

Yau Lab recorded our first spikes today! Lots of hard work from @PP_borre Kevin Ung and Dain Rust. Wouldn’t have been possible without support from @_janzimmermann_ @NeuroPolarbear

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world. I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

New paper with @BernhardSpitzer , investigating WM through miniature eye movements. We found that, even during attempted fixation, gaze patterns not only reflect memory content but also capture its dynamic evolution over time. Available on @NatureHumBehav nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our paper on motion direction representation in the visual cortex is published in NatComm. We describe a Bayesian observer model combining information about velocity and orientation signals ('motion streaks') and test it using fMRI decoding and behavior. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

@XiongboW @UABBarcelona thanks!

@alepebel @UABBarcelona Huge congrats Alexis! So happy to hear that!

I am very happy to announce that I have been awarded a Spanish "Ramón y Cajal" fellowship. I will continue my research adventure in the department where I am currently based as a Serra Húnter Assistant Professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona @UABBarcelona

🚨¡La @UniBarcelona no sólo no se compromete a estabilizar a las investigadoras #RyC, sino que obliga a firmar un “acuerdo voluntario” para no optar a la estabilización! Los puestos están presuntamente reservados. Te lo explicamos en nuestro comunicado y te lo resumimos aquí👇

@JeffMYau exactly

@alepebel I agree 💯. Support for Palestinians isn’t necessarily support for Hamas. And one can support Jews while still being critical of Israel’s policies/actions.

The increasing displays of anti-semitism around the US and the world are truly alarming. I am an ally to Jews and I will speak up against anti-semitism. You are not alone.

1/ 🔥 Hot off the press: my latest paper in collaboration with @BaysLab and @ReubenRideaux. Ever wondered how Bayes' theorem is implemented by the brain? We think we have an answer, for visual orientation estimates at least. 🧵 Open access: nature.com/articles/s4146…

@eLife Paving the way towards ecologically valid cognitive neuroscience.
