can vouch that this is an incredible post-bacc opportunity for anyone interested in language and the brain (specifically post-stroke aphasia or alexia)!!! amazing community & perfect for people interested in pursuing neuropsychology, speech, or neurology! https://www.cognitiverecoverylab.com/join-our-team

Our lab is looking for Seattle-area folks who have a vision condition called amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) for a research study. We're also looking for a few age-matched controls (18 or 19 years old). Get in touch if you're interested!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay, I guess...

Female mice are studied less than males in part because of a belief held by some that the estrous cycle makes all female mouse behavior more variable. But is this true? Check out our latest, led by @DanaRubiLevy in collab with @ShanskyLab! http://bit.ly/3ZQEIHD

Out now in Current Biology: @jdyeatman, @cvnlab and I found huge task effects on activity in the “visual word form area." The patterns of response modulation and functional connectivity seem to be uniquely related to engagement in a linguistic task.

Thrilled & grateful to @NatEyeInstitute for the lab’s first #R01 to study the variability of brain reorganization in blindness!
Thanks to my collaborators and many mentors (many off twitter/Mast), and reach out to me if you want to work together on this project – I’m recruiting!

I'm thrilled that THINGS-data is now online! We provide 3 massive datasets of fMRI, MEG, & behavior in response to up to 1854 objects and >22k images. We hope this will allow studying objects in vision, memory & language with unique semantic breadth! Link: https://doi.org/10.25452/figshare.plus.c.6161151

Yay for team science: THINGS-data is finally out thanks to @martin_hebart @OliverContier @Chris_I_Baker & everyone else involved! I really enjoyed working on THINGS-MEG and am still trying to make sense of this incredibly rich dataset.

I am hiring a post-doc! Come work with me at CIMeC @cimec_unitrento in Italy to figure out the neural mechanisms of predictions for action execution. I am looking for expertise in brain imaging, ideally MEG or EEG. Please RT!

Our lab is looking for a postdoc! We study the neural basis of social vision using a combination of (naturalistic) neuroimaging, behavior, and computational modeling. More details on the lab and position are at our website: http://isiklab.org

🎉🎉 Our big consortium paper, led by Sam Sober at Emory, showing high channel count EMG electrodes that can isolate action potentials from many motor units across a range of behaviors and species is now out in preprint form.
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.21.529200v1
It's been a huge team effort on many fronts! A special thanks to those in my lab who did the work getting these going in NHPs (and humans): Jonathan Michaels, Tomomichi Oya, Mehrdad Kashefi and Rhonda Kersten.
If kick-ass EMG interests you check out the paper but also more practical details (maybe even in how to get some) on the consortium website here: https://internationalmotorcontrol.org
Grateful to my many family members, friends, and colleagues who take to the streets to protest against the threat to Israel’s democracy.
I’m with you at heart, even if I can’t be there in person.

Our new study shows that optogenetic stimulation of high-level visual cortex results in distortions of the concurrent contents of vision.
