Looking for new year resolutions? How about following the "Standardisation Of BEhavior Research" (SOBER) guidelines? We need to improve how we deal with our measures if we want a cumulative science. https://t.co/4FtcOOJa5w by @maltoesermalte et al.

🚶‍♂️ In November, a #ParkinsonsDisease patient whose disease had left him unable to walk, was treated with a nerve-stimulating implant by @EPFL_en & @unil researchers.

🐒 The therapy was only possible thanks to studies that tested the implant in #monkeys.

The labor of my Canadian post-doc during the COVID-pandemic is finally paying off with this fMRI publication in the Journal of Neuroscience. Could not have achieved this without the support and guidance of the @CulhamARI_Lab!

Ghent University of Belgium will provide yearly basic financing (> 30 000 euro) for all professors in the future!
This should be done at every university to reduce the financial pressure and improve the academic freedoms!

@tjmaccarone This is really interesting. Is there any data/literature about this? Want to read more.on this

New preprint out with @GuyRens and @marcodavare on ‘The effect of type and context of sensorimotor information on corticospinal excitability’

It’s not about the money

[Guy Rens @GuyRens]

Went to @WesternU for a full time research post-doc. Didn't expect to learn about how to teach😄. Was definitely worth the trouble as this course opened my eyes. Can highly recommend. Thank you @westernuCTL!

I am really annoyed by journals now REQUIRING graphical abstracts. I have never ever taken a look at them, and I find it a huge waste of time of my groups work time to try and make pretty pictures that are totally useless. READ THE ABSTRACT, it has all the info.

[Mara Mather @MaraMather]

The peer review process is now a sham process at many journals. This is not just at journals on the “predatory journal” blacklist. Years ago, I served as editor of a special issue editor at Frontiers and discovered there was no way in their system to reject a paper! 4/

[Andrew Shtulman @andrewshtulman]

I'm concerned about the editorial process at Frontiers. A reviewer for a paper I'm handling recommended Reject. This review was deactivated and a new review commissioned (not by me!). Why? Is it to get two positive reviews, so the paper can be published, so they can make money?

[Mareike Gann @mareikegann]

Our 2 new preprints on motor sequence learning-related multivoxel patterns in the hippocampus and striatum are now online!

A year and 3 months after completing my PhD, my last PhD-related paper was finally accepted for publication.

A lot of memories and (hopefully) a bright future were created during that time. But it is odd to accept that
such a big chapter of my life is now entirely closed😐.

[Guy Rens @GuyRens]

I really enjoyed working with JJ. If you are interested in his research, I definitely recommend applying for these positions.

[Carol Coricelli @ccoricelli]

Beautiful work on visual object categorization in infants, preprint out now!

[American Physiological Society @APSPhysiology]

Observing others make errors when lifting objects—but not watching skilled lifters working correctly—helps us plan out motor control and weight distribution strategies for our own lifts: https://t.co/fA9MKMqTMD via @JNeurophysiol #ArticlesInPresS

The jokes your friends make about you when you have a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and focused on predictive force scaling during hand-object interactions.
I may not be a medical doctor but, hey, research is life.
