@dcowiedurham @OscarSill @paulmjenkinson @ValeMoroUnivr @bodyrepnetwork Nice work! We did something related to this but not in children: https://t.co/I59LAZ7Jg0

[The Brain Prize @BrainPrize]

Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2024: Larry Abbott, @Sejnowski, and @HSompolinsky

They have pioneered the field of computational and theoretical neuroscience and have made seminal contributions to our understanding of the principles that govern the brain’s structure, dynamics, and the emergence of cognition and behavior.

It’s okay to not be okay. If you need help, or if you know someone who does, please reach out by calling or texting 9-8-8. That’s the number for Canada’s new suicide crisis helpline – and it’s now available across the country, in English and French, 24/7.

Had a great time presenting mine and @multisensebrain’s work titled “Individual Differences in Cybersickness Development: The Role of Sensory Reweighting in VR” at #SfN23 @SfNtweets! Met a a lot of great people and talked cool science 🧠

[Dr. Michael Barnett-Cowan 🇨🇦 @multisensebrain]

Hey #SfN2023 be sure to visit https://t.co/cBZZw68rYU PhD candidate @Siyavashizadi tomorrow Sunday November 12 2-3pm where he will present our poster (board CC3) entitled "Individual differences in cybersickness development: the role of sensory reweighting in VR"
