(please repost) If you're looking for a #neuroscience PhD program - and interested in human brain plasticity and reorganization (neuroimaging in people born with blindness, deafness or without hands), my lab is accepting students this cycle. Email me!

Excited to talk about #Echolocation and how the brain transforms echoes into spatial representations — with the scientific community and students from @UNAM @FESIztacala 🧠🔊

🧠👶😸

#Echolocation is trainable, but can learning it be optimized? In work presented to CSUN2025 and now published in @csuncod.bsky.social's JTPD vol 13, @haydeegl.bsky.social illustrates the benefits of adjusting synthetic but realistic echolocation sounds to be more perceptible by novice listeners.

Neural and behavioral correlates of evidence accumulation in human click-based echolocation Echolocation enables blind individuals to perceive and navigate their environment by emitting clicks and interpreting their returning echoes. While expert blind echolocators demonstrate remarkable spa...

New study in Nature: major farming areas in wealthy nations at risk of losing 40% of their maize & wheat production this century. Do papers like this ever land on the desks of the Wall St titans financing fossil fuel expansion? What story do they tell themselves about their life's work?

Lovely message and a wonderful showcase of your lab’s work!🎉🎉🎉

Congrats Heida!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥂

With Santani Teng @echodislocation.bsky.social at SKERI, and heartfelt thanks to the participants who made this research possible.
Huge appreciation to our amazing lab team for their support. 🧠

By testing carefully designed sound stimuli, we explored how they could support beginners in learning echolocation, with the long-term goal of improving training and expanding access for blind and low-vision individuals.
🎧 A small step toward making this powerful skill more accessible.

🦇✨ New paper out!

Novel Stimuli to Benchmark and Train Echolocation Skills
Curious about how echolocation can be made easier to learn?
We evaluated how specific auditory temporal cues might improve spatial perception.
