Visual cortex stimulation after receiving a visual cortical prosthesis (brain implant for restoring vision): "Those beeps - they're driving me nuts!" https://books.google.nl/books?id=AYyK579ehcMC&pg=PT528&lpg=PT528&dq=%22Those%20beeps%20-%20they%27re%20driving%20me%20nuts!%22 Dennis lost his sight at age 18; #crossmodal #perception #neuroscience #NeuroTech #BCI

Big welcome to @anneurai!

Anne is an Assistant Professor in Leiden (Netherlands). Let's all celebrate her substantial contributions to understanding how we make decisions:
https://anneurai.net/

Anne is also been part of the heart and soul of an exciting team science experiment in brain research, the @InternationalBrainLab

Finally, let's applaud Anne's contributions to Green Neuroscience. She continuously offers us all action items for stopping climate change: https://anneurai.net/green-neuroscience/

I may not be an expert in many things, but brain stimulation I think I qualify as having an expert opinion on.

Fascinating new 🐭 study on the 🧠 from @MIT in @Nature. #Neuroscience #Plasticity

Higher-order sensory #ThalamicNuclei are densely connected with multiple #cortical & #subcortical areas, but what do they do? During active sensing, the POm integrates information from the #cortex & plays a key role in #SensoryPerception #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3XFqbhx

An examination of over 1 million funding proposals to the National Science Foundation from 1996 to 2019 reveals that white principal investigators are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs and relative funding rates for white PIs have been increasing. https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_features

This is an interesting finding: After animals learn a visual task, there are substantial changes in the premotor/prefrontal cortex.

So motor/frontal cortex changes as a result of sensory learning, and those changes are long-lasting. The motor/frontal areas now treat those visual images differently in multiple ways.
One potentially surprising thing is that it's motor/frontal cortex that shows these changes.

Scientists make #AI more intimidating by adding living neurons, while engineers make robot arms cuter and more versatile by mimicking elephant trunks. All that in my latest item for C&EN https://cen.acs.org/physical-chemistry/computational-chemistry/tiny-brain-video-gameselephant-trunk/100/i42

Cephalopods like octopuses, squids and cuttlefish are highly intelligent animals with complex nervous systems. In “Science Advances”, a team led by Nikolaus Rajewsky of the Max Delbrück Center has now shown that their evolution is linked to a dramatic expansion of their microRNA repertoire.

A call for help from my Mastodon friends:

I work at the intersection of #CognitivePsychology, #neuroscience, and #education: a field often called #MindBrainEducation.

So far, I've found folks in each of those disciplines, and am learning a lot.

However, I've found only a few looking at the overlaps and conversations.

If you could help me find my #MBE people here, I'd be grateful.
