Congrats to @Rhys for passing his PhD viva without corrections, with Paul Downing and Angelika Lingnau @CogNeuroUR as examiners and @gnomicbrain as chair!! A very proud supervisor moment. Well done, Dr Yewbrey! @PsychBangor @BIG_fMRI @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP

New preprint from the lab with @yewbrey @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP👇

[KatjaKornysheva @KatjaKornysheva]

In this week's lab meeting @DrEmWilliams presented her innovative project on typing acquisition in adults and kids and the role of planning: Excited to see this work develop over the next years at the interface between basic and applied motor control! @HelenaPWright @yewbrey

Thoughtful commentary on our recent paper by @Doyle_HaDoyle from @DesrochersLab in @SfNJournals highlighting the potential relevance of findings beyond motor sequences: https://t.co/WXtlsMp1Zp. @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP @yewbrey

Our experts have discovered that the brain ‘zips and unzips’ information to perform skilled tasks like playing the piano or dancing https://t.co/LB5OW5qIch

What do you get when you cross professional baseball ⚾️with Bayes ? Bayesball! I am super excited to announce a new paper out with @KordingLab, titled "Bayesball: Bayesian Integration in Professional Baseball Batters" https://t.co/w6JmjlP7d7

I am recruiting participants for my PhD project investigating facial expressions in Parkinson's. Participants need to:
🙂 Be aged 45+
☹️ NOT have a diagnosis of Parkinson's, co-occurring motor disorders, psychological and psychiatric clinical conditions or a learning disability.

As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.

@yewbrey V2 preprint updated with a framework/hypothesis Figure + additional behavioural data: https://t.co/O16YeELchG Thanks to all who came along to our poster at #NCMDub22 and gave feedback!

[KatjaKornysheva @KatjaKornysheva]

@yewbrey in action! 2-b-17 #NCMDub22

[Rhys Yewbrey @yewbrey]

Another day another poster! Today I'm presenting the integration of order and timing during sequence planning and execution at @ncm_soc #NCMDub22 - poster 2-B-17. Data collected with @MyrtoMantziara, supervised by @KatjaKornysheva, at @BIG_fMRI and now visiting @TheCHBH

[Rhys Yewbrey @yewbrey]

@GiacomoAriani @biorxiv @MyrtoMantziara @KatjaKornysheva @BIG_fMRI @TheCHBH Thank you, and likewise! Very much looking forward to it.

[Rhys Yewbrey @yewbrey]

1/8 🧵 (My first ever!) Preprint is now up on @bioRxiv: https://t.co/HYsNqmnplD We investigated how cortical regions evolved their informational tuning for motor sequences from planning to execution. @myrtomantziara @katjakornysheva @BIG_fMRI @TheCHBH https://t.co/XXDQ75TijT

[Rhys Yewbrey @yewbrey]

8/8 Please check out the pre-print for details and visit our poster at the @ncm_soc Dublin #NCM2022 end of this month.

[Rhys Yewbrey @yewbrey]

7/8 We think that these findings have implications for understanding the hierarchical control of skilled discrete movement sequences and informational dynamics across planning and execution.
