Eye movements, vision and memory through the lens of Sherlock - awesome collaborative project led by @matthiasnau.bsky.social

Neural and behavioral reinstatement jointly reflect retrieval of narrative events - Nature Communications When people recall a movie, their eye movements and brain activity resemble those observed during the viewing. These behavioral and neural reactivations are linked through a common process, likely ref...

Excited to share our new paper w/ @cibaker.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com linking active vision & memory!

We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

The brain’s map of the body is surprisingly stable — even after a limb is lost Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.

A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief

What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?

Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

Thanks to @pci-regreports.bsky.social for the thorough reviews and recommendations 6/6

Replication is critical to demonstrate the robustness of non-invasive stimulation techniques both for use in research and clinical application 5/6

Compared to the original study, minor modifications in the stimulation protocol were present: 1) larger electrode over targeted hMT+, 2) within-subject active control, 3) larger sample size, and 4) behavioral thresholding parameters. What does it mean if these modifications impacted replication? 4/6

Our motivation: replication of hf-tRNS facilitatory effects on behavior. The overwhelming evidence that hMT+ is critical for contralateral motion processing made it a strong test case for observing hf-tRNS neuromodulatory influence over behavior 3/6

hf-tRNS showed no effect in comparison to both within-session and within-subject sham and active control (left forehead) 2/6

High-frequency transcranial random noise stimulation (hf-tRNS) targeted at motion processing region hMT+ does not improve visual motion discrimination. Failed #replication in #registeredreport
