Got a chance to present our poster with James Coughlan & @echodislocation.bsky.social from @skeriresearch.bsky.social on modeling human echolocation using a Kalman filter approach at this year's #CCN26 in New York. The preprint is available here: doi.org/10.64898/202...

In June I took part in the 10-day ERP Bootcamp at UC Davis. Feeling honoured and grateful for this truly wonderful learning and networking experience!

🚨 New preprint: How does an echolocator orient toward an object in a realistic active-sensing scenario, where #echolocation is interleaved with motor actions? We took a shot at finding out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Sensorimotor dynamics of target acquisition and homing in human echolocation

Blindness imposes constraints on the acquisition of environmental sensory information. To mitigate those constraints, some blind people employ active echolocation, a technique in which self-generated ...

June 6th I will participate in the VisionWalk as part of the @skeriresearch.bsky.social team. Help me fight blinding retinal degenerative diseases: put on your comfy shoes and walk with me, or make a contribution. Any bit helps! Check out the link below to donate or find more info. Thanks!

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Thank you #imrf2025 for providing the space to share ideas and to all the people who were interested in our Kalman Filter-based echolocators and provided valuable comments. The poster session was a blast! And thanks @echodislocation.bsky.social for capturing only the best facial expressions!

Thanks for stopping by and supporting my first poster talk within a new subfield at the really early poster session on the last day of #CNS2025

Come chat comp.models of perception and echolocation with me at poster F77 tomorrow morning at #CNS2025 !

If you're attending #CNS2025, check out our lab's posters in Tuesday morning's Session F! We're proud to represent @skeriresearch.bsky.social in Boston this year.

Was really looking forward to finally attending after so many years of not being able to due to visa and political issues, and now that I'm inside so many people worth seeing in person are not coming due to a different set of political issues 🙃

Hey @vssmtg.bsky.social, do you no longer support diversity and inclusion? Looks like your policies were quietly removed from your website? #VSS2025 #VSS

B.t.w. I get that the society is being put in an exceptionally bad situation. I don't envy them at all. And I am sure they did not want to change this, but felt like their hand was forced. That said -- we should resist. Is there any other choice?

“Curry’s letter describes “an assault on scientific research…huge cuts in funding & regime of censorship (particularly with regard to equity, diversity & inclusion & climate) that is a direct threat to freedom of expression & academic freedom. These actions contravene the society’s code of conduct”

Been caught up in life, but glad to finally announce that I've started my postdoc journey into EEG & perception in the absence of vision with @echodislocation.bsky.social at @skeriresearch.bsky.social. Here's to lots of new exciting things to learn & understand, that'd hopefully help those in need!
