How does the spinal cord react to #pain? Falk Eippert, @birgit_nierula & Vadim Nikulin write in @PLOSBiology that a new non-invasive method can be used to measure the finest reactions of the #spinal cord: cbs.mpg.de/2303930/20241101

Spinal recording is routinely used in experimental animals, but what about human #SpinalCord? @birgit_nierula &co @MPI_CBS describe a non-invasive #electrospinography approach that can directly record spinal cord activity with high precision #PLOSBiology plos.io/3YwSsYY

Can we experience agency and responsibility over virtual movements controlled by #BCI? Proud to present my PhD work with @mavi_sanchez and @melslater at #ISMAR2020 today

I have been working on an R library for regression modelling for fMRI. It's a work in progress. One thing that may be immediately useful (e.g. for teaching, tinkering) are the functions it has for generating hemodynamic regressors. See: bbuchsbaum.github.io/fmrireg…

We will be recruiting 2 PhD. and 2 Post-doc positions . Background in fMRI (esp. 7T), EEG/MEG, or computational modelling is a plus. If you are interested in understanding what is Reality using a combination of VR and Cognitive Neuroscience techniques get in touch me. pls RT!

When somebody explained to me how publishing in science works, this is what it felt like not saying it's all bad but it should be better

My team and I are looking for top PhD students who want to join us for an internship. I have projects on mesh rigging, blend shapes, CV reconstruction of avatars. Also building new devices. Strong unity programming a plus. And of course, with a big focus on the human+tech.

Really @ResidenceInn, paper cups & plates and plastic cuttlery for breakfast while asking your guests to “make a green joice”??

Thank you for forwarding my concerns to the appropriate department. I think it’s a very good idea to “make green choices” - by the guest AND by the hotel
