A big thanks to @NersesianSarah for doing an awesome presentation on how to create effective science infographics for my Experiential Learning in Science Communication class! The students learned a lot! #sciencecommunication

@goreham87 Thanks for sharing!

Currently writing the final parts of my PhD. I investigated how the brain programs two consecutive grasping actions. Feel free to share any articles that you think I have not included that I should include. #motorcontrol #attention #neuroscience #perception

@jarrett_johns @labview @MATLAB @Myles_OBrien20 @goreham87 @Frayner84 @Dal_HAHP The Dalplex all star team all in one paper. Is this legal?

New paper! Weakening the subjective sensation of own hand ownership does not interfere with rapid finger movements https://t.co/xMYBOGbfjR

The meaning of the Readiness Potential remains deeply controversial for studies of volition. New paper shows that conscious feeling of being about to move is accompanied by RP-like brain activity. Unbiased sampling of EEG and awareness. @elisabethpares https://t.co/gMaHdyVzlM

It's happened! A Nature Medicine paper on the microbiome of elite marathoners has identified a microbe that enhances performance via lactate breakdown! #microbiome #powerpoop #ultrachat https://t.co/pBTuap3elB

New paper in @TrendsCognSci discussing how the structure of natural environments modulates the perception of objects: adaptations to positional regularities facilitate object detection and recognition, and sharpen object representations in visual cortex. https://t.co/Cqchj56fjH

Hidden illusion

[Kevin LeBlanc, PhD @_thePerceiver]

@goreham87 I’m assuming a runner’s stride would be more consistent or am I wrong? Is what you’re showing only relevant to sports that use a “tool” (e.g., paddle, baseball bat, etc.). Also, would more consecutive movements (at comfortable pace) clean this up or make it even worse?

[Kevin LeBlanc, PhD @_thePerceiver]

@goreham87 I’m sure one could argue for a cognitive/attention advantage of doing this.

@goreham87 @ISBSOFFICIAL @BiomechanicsDay @gillian_weir_ Ohhh. I guess I was late to RT. Great video though!

[International Society of Biomechanics in Sports @ISBSOFFICIAL]

@goreham97 from @BENLabDalhousie tell us about his wearables research measuring kayak sprint technique in the lab and on the water for the @ISBSOFFICIAL @BiomechanicsDay 2-minute-tweet competition. Retweet your favorite video from the @ISBSOFFICIAL page! https://t.co/efYtKdMipW

Here's another Munker illusion with small dots instead of stripes: The large circles appear to be salmon and yellow but are actually both the same color (RGB 255,223,0). The original png file is at https://t.co/6r2PMbLMJc.

[Action Prediction Lab / Prof Patric Bach @actpredictlab]

that is cool: prior learning biases how the outcomes of our actions is perceived.
