@seeingwithsound @hkl unless it has a functional role?... Personally, I'm not sure what that would be, simply because of the mismatch in representation.

@hkl @seeingwithsound but it isn't actually weak even in sighted people. Just weaker than in blindness, of course

@hkl @seeingwithsound
It was mentioned in a few papers actually (we cited them and discuss this) but never noticed as much beyond "maybe visual imagery". I guess because it's so unexpected, if you don't study blindness and see where it could lead?

We’ve identified the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN), a newly recognized network within human primary motor cortex that disrupts the famous—but incorrect—motor homunculus, and has strong connections to high-level control networks. Now out in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-023

Do and share neurocognitive substrates? This study with former post-doc (now at U. Wisconsin- Madison) @HaleyDresang and @WongAaronL capitalizes on dual-route models in both the language and action domains to clarify overlap (and lack thereof). @MossResearch twitter.com/HaleyDresang/statu

Strongest possible advice to early grad students: you need outside hobbies or projects that are meaningful to you. It is dangerous for your only source of value, identity, and friendship to be academia. You absolutely have to find something else to invest in, it’s just not safe

🚨 New paper! 🚨

We often fail to foresee how our science can indirectly harm individuals and groups, e.g., by shaping social perceptions.

In a new @PLOSCompBiol paper, we outline ten simple rules to facilitate thinking on our social impacts
