🥳 I'm thrilled to share I've received an @arc_gov_au #DECRA to study how walking modulates perception + cognition. The next 3yrs will focus on #biorhythms and #mobileEEG. It takes a village, and I'm very grateful to all of my mates, mentors and peers for their ongoing support 🍻

@singletonion Congratulations to you and your wife. Welcome to the world Aya!

The map is not the territory!

Our paper challenging the canonical model of early extrastriate cortex is now available in @eLife

1/Different brains, similar ability to see:how variable is the human #visual_cortex?BDI's Prof Marcello Rosa & @uq_news @‌pucketta_m co-led a study published in @‌eLife using @‌HumanConnectome data showing that ≈2/3 of brains vary from a "template". More: https://t.co/Y1NGVjn2T0

Have you been worried that everyone is using very different experiments to look at hand representation in the brain? We compared hand maps in somatosensory cortex when you actively move the fingers (left) and when static fingers are touched (right)... 1/N

[Plasticity Lab @plasticity_lab]

Excited to share this massive team effort to tackle concerns about experimental variations by comparing hand maps in the somatosensory cortex during finger movement and static touch, finding very little difference

@BalsdonTarryn @willjharrison Which is why I was trying to understand your original point about people having uterine related concerns about attending VSS in Florida.

[Alexander M. Puckett @pucketta_m]

@BalsdonTarryn @willjharrison Although I’m unsure why you ask - at a glance, no, I would not be concerned with traveling to Fl given those warnings. I might, however, be concerned if they had laws in place banning access to life-saving procedures for those suffering from severe preeclampsia as suggested.
