My nonfiction article on human enhancement and transhumanism is live on @neurotechx.bsky.social Content Blog today! It's about why "enhancement" and "transhumanism" are bad goals, and how we might reframe neurotechnology toward cool stuff that's worth doing.🧠🧪 medium.com/neurotechx/h...

I'm excited to finalize this webinar, and it needs your input! Send a manuscript/proposal & I'll teach prose techniques help you - not the abstract 'you,' but YOU. Don't worry, I'll only share a paragraph or two. But I only have space for so many examples, send yours soon! #neurorehabilitation

Who is this mysterious writer-scientist with an accessible but thoroughly-referenced overview of the science of handedness, and all the weird ways it arises from the brain, body, world, and evolution? (Pro tip: it's me.) clarkesworldmagazine.com/kinney_03_26/

Handedness seems utterly banal, but the science beneath it is weird and complex, with a throughline tying modern culture to pre-human evolution. (Not to mention the last 5-10 years of my scientific career.) To quote myself: to understand handedness, you need to understand the entire brain. 🧠🧪

Curious about the brain mechanisms of handedness? If you're at #SfN25, we've got a poster this morning (397.01 at V5), and the work is now online as a preprint! Here's the summary: 3 neural mechanisms that distinguish left vs. right hand drawing (in righties)🧪🧠 #neuroskyence #neurorehabilitation

Off to #SfN25! Bittersweet trip for me, but excited to share my mentees' work in #neuroskyence #neurorehabilitation.🧠🧪 Check these out: 1) Cortical organization predicts functional hand use vs. performance (Pstr 077.20, sat AM) 2) Neural mechanisms of non-dominant performance (Pstr 397.01, Wed AM)

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

The two pieces of advice I've given repeatedly at #ASNR2025: 1) When writing a grant (or paper), your biggest goal is to evoke a positive emotional response in your reader 2) To understand that effect you see in patients' brains, you probably need a better understanding of the healthy brain

Next time I go to scientist karaoke, I gotta see if they have Prisencolinensinainciusol

So much going on this first day of #ASNR2025! My posters-to-see list tonight is too ambitious (n=16). For anyone who enjoyed this AM's "art & science of writing" roundable, here's some of the fiction writing that's informed (& been informed by) my science writing: benjaminckinney.com/introduction/

Since I've just outed myself as a science fiction writer at #ASNR25, check out my work here! I've sold over 30 short stories, and been Hugo nominated 6 times for my (past) editorial work. benjaminckinney.com/introduction/

Big thanks to whoever was in the hotel room next to mine, making a 5am Zoom call without headphones.

Five people—three researchers and two test subjects—have just seen a color no human has ever seen before.

This is incredibly upsetting. While the effects of these cancellations are clear to academics, we need to ensure that the wider public is not only aware of what's happening, but also understands how much damage this will cause to health and medical infrastructure, tech innovation, and higher ed.

This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n

We encourage all #ASNR2025 attendees to join us for a Pre-Conference Workshop in partnership with the Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Collaborative Community (iBCI-CC)! This workshop includes dinner, presentations from BCI experts, & insightful discussions. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in...
