Investigating the sensory basis of motor control @VU_FBW.

In our new review, we discuss how aiming for the best answers leads to inconsistent perception: https://t.co/2fQYkNIBnf In this digest, I will present some examples. The first is that the Brentano illusion affects the length (green) of a line, but not the endpoints (blue) (1/5)

There’s still time to join!

From 7–15 February, learners around the world are dedicating time to strengthen #Python skills.

It’s self-paced, beginner-to-advanced friendly, and supported by the community on r/neuromatch Reddit.

@IrisVanRooij My answer would be: female, but that was not one of the choices https://t.co/BSuV45RmkK

#VU_BW is excited to welcome Florentina Hettinga as our new department head by October first. At the same time, we'd like to thank departing department head @DieenJaap for his leadership and curiosity

✨ 📽 Imagine you're a professional football player. You dribble, kick, and score. But how does that work in your brain? @pmedendorp and Leonie Oostwoud Wijdenes provide you an unique look at the Sensorimotor lab in this video: 👉

Happy :) to be a co-author with @ninavanmastrigt, @Katinka3D, @JBJSmeets and Bernadette van Wijk. Many, many circles & inspiration from all authors led to this paper on reward-based motor learning!

Poetic summary by Nina&me in the thread!

[VU FBW @VU_FBW]

#VU_BW @Katinka3D, @JBJSmeets, Joyce Burgers en een fantastische groep studenten onderzochten in @NEMOamsterdam hoe succeskansen motorisch leren en #motivatie beïnvloeden. Kijk de video om te zien hoe dat ging! https://t.co/XdVjJocRBO

Door onnadenkendheid is wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid soms niet meer dan schijnprecisie.
Originele studie van @JBJSmeets over hoe leeftijd van proefpersonen systematisch een half jaar te kort gerapporteerd wordt.

[Jeroen Smeets @JBJSmeets]

If we apply the most popular method to the average age of a youth soccer team, we get a result (red) that differs from the actual mean (blue):

[Jeroen Smeets @JBJSmeets]

The responses to this tweet made it to the scientific literature in my paper on the bias and precision of reporting the average age
(https://t.co/OlHdnaJJcT).

[Jeroen Smeets @JBJSmeets]

Please retweet! A question for those who have human participants in their research. How do you determine the age of your participants (with which resolution)?

[Jeroen Smeets @JBJSmeets]

Scientists have a peculiar way to report the average age of their human participants. They suggest they know this average with a few days precision, but introduce a half year bias. Read about it in my short paper https://t.co/OlHdnaJJcT Thanks to all of you who answered my poll.

Mooi stuk over @AJCReuten haar promotie onderzoek van de afgelopen 4 jaar

[Anna Reuten @AJCReuten]

Voor NRC mocht ik voor “Jong Geleerd” een interview geven over mijn proefschrift (doi: 10.5463/thesis.619). Waarom worden meer mensen wagenziek in zelfrijdende auto’s? En is er een manier om dat op te lossen?! Antwoorden op die vragen lees je hierin terug: https://t.co/OrItDe8dBe

[Jeroen Smeets @JBJSmeets]

This is an elegant experiment using a new task (grasping thin objects using a precision grip) to find out how grasping is controlled. The answer: "the digits-in-space hypothesis provides the most plausible account of the data". Worth reading!
