Turning corners in built environments shifts spatial attention costs Human attention is typically studied under static laboratory conditions, yet everyday cognition unfolds during active interactions with the built envi…

🚀 New paper! We just took a major step in understanding how architecture shapes cognition.

Our paper shows that something as simple as corners in rooms or corridors can shift canonical spatial attention cueing costs.

Key method? Mobile Brain/Body Imaging combined with VR!

Fantastic work - congrats @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social

These findings demonstrate a dual role of theta oscillations in the RSC, flexibly integrating multimodal signals, 1) supporting both the recalibration of spatial representations to external cues and 2) the encoding of self-motion information during naturalistic human navigation.

Increased theta power in the RSC accompanied corrections in pointing to landmarks. Diminished sync was observed for extensive spatial updating.

We identified motor-related theta responses that scaled with rotational acceleration, replicating our previous results (Gramann et al., 2021 SciRep).

In a path integration task with repeated presentations of a landmark to calibrate the path integrator, we found variations in theta power and phase resetting with each landmark presentation, dependent on the accuracy of location representation of said landmark.

Clement spent quite some time at the Berlin Mobile Brain/Body Imaging labs (#BeMoBIL) here at #TUBerlin, programming the setup and recording the data. He did an amazing job throughout the analysis of the data - and the results are quite impressive.

🧠 New Mobile Brain/Body Imaging study on spatial navigation out!

This was a very inspiring and productive collaboration with @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social and @stephen-ramanoel.bsky.social.

Science Under Threat in the United States: How scientists and institutions should respond Individual researchers and university leaders need to make the case for science to their elected representatives and to the public at large.

Science is under threat in the US. @elife.bsky.social have commissioned a series of articles discussing the implications and what we can do. The first three articles are now live. More to follow:

Interesting experiment by @zakdjebbara.bsky.social amd team demonstrating that navigational decisions are associated with the distance to, but not necessarily the visibility of, the destination.

Human neural dynamics of real-world and imagined navigation - Nature Human Behaviour Seeber et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. Neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly, demonstrating parallels between navigational, im...

🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

And so it begins — NIH is planning to terminate active grants that no longer meet the agency's "priorities".

Grants that were already approved for funding through peer review.

The pursuit of knowledge should be apolitical, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
