🧠Want to start a #PhD in sensorimotor #neuroscience in Fall 2026? Our NIH- and NSF-funded lab @IUBloomington uses human behavior and noninvasive brain stimulation to study motor learning and perception. More info: blocklab.net/openings.html or hjblock@iu.edu. Deadline is Dec. 15.

Find out how the brain deals with conflicting cues in this #ArticleinPress, Timing of responses to gradual and abrupt #visuo-proprioceptive cue conflict with and without feedback (Reshma Babu et al. @IUBloomington): ow.ly/ZsCW50XawAu

Excite that our new review, "Motor Working Memory", is now in press at @TrendsCognSci! @CellPressNews. By me + @hannahillman We argue that a dedicated research program on a 'working memory for movements' is long overdue. *Gift Link*: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lmMX4sIRvW-…

🚨It's published! 🚨Our results support highly-simplified-model "B", if you're wondering. The Somatosensory Cortex and Body Representation: Updating the Motor System during a Visuoproprioceptive Cue Conflict jneurosci.org/content/45/32/…

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!

@jjodx These look awesome, thank you!

Anyone who teaches undergrad motor control and learning: are you willing to share syllabus, labs, or assignments with me? I'm teaching an honors section in the spring for the first time! We have lots of pre-PT/OT students and I'm using this book: amazon.com/Motor-Control-…

@JCashaback @RachelLHawe Fantastic, thank you!!

@IUBlockLab @RachelLHawe My course is here. I teach to undergrad / grad split engineers, but I think some would be potentially useful. github.com/joshcash9/Neur…

@postlelab Sure! hjblock@iu.edu

@IUBlockLab do you want me to send the chapter from my textbook? (Indeed, I'm working on a revision and would appreciate any expert critiques that I can get!) wiley.com/en-us/Essentia…

Hey #sfn2024 attendees, if you're interested in visuo-proprioceptive hand perception and recalibration: Come see our poster! Tuesday afternoon, board H40. 👉👈🧠

@Sarabellum8 Awesome! Good luck! 🙌

@Sarabellum8 Is it submitted submitted, or submitted-internally submitted? I am in the latter stage, which always makes me kinda nervous. I keep checking my email in case they're telling me I need to fix some formatting thing or whatever at the last minute.

Hey we are hiring! Would love to have some colleagues at Emory in BME working in sensorimotor systems and related technologies that cross the basic/clinical divide!

@jakublimanowski @jlmirdamadi @WaliManasi If only I could report my productivity as an extrapolation of the past week or so! 😅

@IUBlockLab @jlmirdamadi @WaliManasi Very nice! Tough to keep up reading with your output rate ;)

(4/4) ...multisensory integration likely adds processing time. Research seeking to manipulate motor control via multisensory perception should therefore consider the parallel unisensory and multisensory pathways that affect the motor system.

(3/4) ...the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). These updates are proprioceptive, having not yet been integrated with visual cues through interaction with high-level posterior parietal regions. This might provide advantages in terms of faster updates, for example, because...
