Today I'll be co-chairing a zoom panel discussion with Fiona Zisch today (6-8pm UK time) on 'Architecture and Mind'. A first launch event between UCL and the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (USA).
We will be discussing research in neuroscience on spatial coding and the challenges in architecture of designing successful buildings and cities.
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/events/2022/nov/uclxanfa-architecture-and-mind
All welcome to attend (free) and listen / ask questions.
Want to know what congenital blindness or handlessness can tell us about brain development and plasticity? Or how individual differences in plasticity affect rehabilitation?
To join a #phd in our lab apply by Dec 1st https://neuroscience.georgetown.edu

While spoken language probably makes us uniquely human, maybe body language doesn't: macaques seem to read it (not only from conspecifics but also across species). See below 👇

This year, I’ve been putting together reference letters for students. After years involved in residency and medical school selection, I’ve noticed biases in how women are talked about. Since none of us (including myself) are immune, this guide is helpful:

Would there be demand for a cogsci-hosted #Mastodon 🐘 server for the psychology/ neuroscience community? If yes, what would be important for you in terms of content moderation, privacy, sign-up, etc.? And would you be interested in helping out? #psychtwitter 🌟Please RT!🌟 (1/2)

Do you wonder how the #brain derives meaningful information from sensory input, how people use that information to interact with the world, and how we can better understand these phenomena in the absence of #vision? Inquire about a @SKERIResearch #postdoc fellowship in my lab! https://twitter.com/SKERIResearch/status/1594756787622019072
Case studies are important - a timely reminder.

Slowly figuring out how predictive coding happens in the brain ...
A beautiful piece by @ViolaPriesemann and her team.

the concept of the motor homunculus is dying. After Grazaino ha been desconstructing it, there was a preprint recently
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.26.513940v1 that suggested a totally different organization than our traditional concept,
and now today

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

There's been far less response to my inquiry about tactile researchers here - but I'll try via
rearchers in the field of #touch, tactile-motor, tactile-#multisensory, #tactile #neuroscience, sign up and paste the group name under your touch-related posts. All subscribers will see your post in their timeline.
Please spread via RT.

I’m feeling concerned that many of us have recently joined #Mastodon and that the long term visually impaired community are now inundated with beautiful photos with no #alttext to describe the photo. Only about 1 in 5 Toots describe photos on my timeline. We all need to curb our enthusiasm to share undescribed photos and embrace our descriptive writing. I’m not on my high horse just concerned that we’ve arrived en masse and need to do our very best to embrace #MastodonCulture.
