Research group studying the computational and neural strategies in human sensorimotor processing, using modeling, psychophysical and neuroimaging techniques.
Presenting some hot-off-the-press results in my poster at #NCMDub22 tomorrow. Stop by if you want to learn more about how we used corticomuscular coherence to see the effect of evidence accumulation in the motor periphery. Work with Luc Selen & @pmedendorp @sensorimotorlab.
Professional athletes practice movements that they have performed thousands of times in training just before it is their turn in a game. Why do they do this? New research in #JNeurophysiol

#MovementPlanning#MovementVariability @pmedendorp
People are masters at predicting #behavior. For instance, to estimate whether a car or cyclist will stop. The smartest #machines are still well behind humans in this respect. Pieter Medendorp and colleagues received 3.5 miln funding of NWA to tackle this.

New pre-print alert!
A neural surveyor in somatosensory cortex https://t.co/laeRoznYZq
A fun collaboration across my two post doc labs: with Alessandro Farnè and @pmedendorp
* Job alert!!* Research fellow post for an excellent neuroimager with good people skills. At @UCL_ICN with Tamar Makin, working on @BOLDkidsUK project - neural plasticity in kids with limb differences. Enquiries welcome; apply by 30 March. https://t.co/UrvvWqFfCu
Preprint with @pmedendorp: State Estimation in Posterior Parietal Cortex: Distinct Poles of Environmental and Bodily States
We highlight state estimation as underlying role of PPC and suggest how it may map onto 2D cortex
Feedback welcome. https://t.co/m8Uira3Pbv
new preprint from Femke Maij, @pmedendorp and myself. Tactile decisions are commonly thought to reflect external location of touch. Turns out to be a myth.
A new study investigates interaction between internal updating and reafferent visual feedback in determining egocentric representations of object locations.

New results show "that the motor-evoked potential reflects a process that adapts and decays quickly, whereas the cortical silent period reflects slow adaptation and decay."

I'm looking for a postdoc interested in the role of object- and scene-selective cortices in naturalistic visual perception, studied using fMRI and (fMRI-guided) TMS. Location: Donders Institute in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Start date is flexible. Contact me for informal inquiries.
Which reference frames are involved in hand selection during #reaching? Findings from a recent study "suggest that a mixture of head- and gaze-centered reference frames is involved in the spatially guided decisions of hand choice." Link: https://t.co/MPY4DtdeTy
