What are the neural correlates of the multiple processes occurring during #sensorimotor #learning? This study reveals 3 distinct connectivity patterns in #MotorCortex associated with implicit learning, explicit learning & performance-tracking #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4inwSPz

Thinking of #music... @dariquima &co show that mental manipulation of a melody systematically changes its neural representation in #auditory, association, #sensorimotor & #subcortical areas, reflecting volitional control of auditory images #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3NBg7lV

Hi everyone! I'm very happy to post our new paper we just got published in the Journal of Physiology:

"Scale-invariant Changes in Corticospinal Excitability Reflect Multiplexed Oscillations in the Motor Output"

(Open access here: tinyurl.com/yka2w7hb )

Authors are @marco_emanuele , me, Giacomo Koch, Luciano Fadiga and Alice Tomassini

It took quite some time and effort to get it nice and polished, and now I'm so proud of it!
Marco and Alice did an amazing job!

New preprint by our PhD students Hantao Wang and Yusuf Ali who asked whether pre-speech auditory modulation (PSAM) as previously demonstrated with EEG/EP actually has detectable perceptual correlates. #speech #auditory #neuroscience #sensorimotor

new paper:
Dynamic spatial coding in parietal cortex mediates tactile-motor transformation

Participants pointed to tactile stimuli on their uncrossed and crossed feet. We dissociated sensory and motor coding with an anti-task.
Parietal regions carried both anatomical (which foot) and spatial (where in space) info about the stimulus. Later in the trial same regions coded task and motor goal info.

For everyone at the Neural Control of Movement meeting #NCMVic23, PhD student Hantao Wang will have a poster on Friday describing how he is leveraging DBS implants with sensing technology to record from human subcortical nuclei during #sensorimotor #adaptation tasks. Check it out and meet Hantao at Poster 4-F-53.

@sensorimotor

Interested in #sensorimotor #learning and looking for a postdoc position? Our lab works on #motorcontrol in both speech and limb movements! Work can involve typical participants, #DBS patients, and/or #stuttering.

Please share - THANKS!

We will have another new #postdoc position available in 2023. The work will focus on #sensorimotor #adaptation and the #neuroscience of #speech #MotorControl. Participants will include typical adults as well as patients with neurological conditions. Our lab is part of UW in Seattle. Feel free to contact this account or lab PI LudoMax at uw.edu for more information! #BoostPlease

An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Freiburg has found important clues about the functioning of the #sensorimotor #cortex. The new findings on #neuronal activities in this #brain area could be helpful for the further development and use of so-called #neuroprostheses.

new preprint from our lab:

Dynamic spatial coding in parietal cortex mediates hand movement planning towards touch

by former PhD student Janina Klautke (Brandes)
and postdoc Celia Foster

participants pointed to/away from tactile stimuli on (un)crossed feet (=pro/anti task). We find anatomical and spatial stimulus coding, pro/anti rule, and motor goal location in posterior parietal cortex. Spatial coding changes over the trial.

#Introduction to "1-paper-a-day 2022"
After countless conversations that I read too little, I decided to read 1 paper on every workday of 2022 and point to them on SocMedia.

Papers are in the general area of #cognitive + #sensorimotor #neuroscience, including meta-stuff such as #OpenScience.

List of papers so far with links to tweets - toots from now on…

I'm at #133 – doesn’t mean I had lots of vacation but rather that sticking to the plan hasn't been easy ;)
