Congratulations to @emij.bsky.social, winner of Western's Eugenia Canas 2026 Postdoctoral Scholar of the Year Award!!! So richly deserved!!! 🥳🍾🎉

Congratulations to @oliviaipwanshek.bsky.social for presenting two fantastic posters at #VSS2026, one with new data and one pre-data discussion poster!

Had a wonderful time at #VSS2026! So grateful for the opportunity to attend, learn from inspiring talks, and connect with other trainees. Big thanks to the organizers, speakers, and everyone who made it such a great experience!! @vssmtg.bsky.social

Check out a new paper in Nature Communications Biology with @dianadima.com and Yalda Mohzenzadeh using fMRI-EEG fusion to reveal how brain responses to action videos and sentences unfold across the visual system over time www.nature.com/articles/s42...

@evadeligiannis.bsky.social and I have a new paper forthcoming in Annual Review of Vision Science: “Bringing Vision Science Closer to the Real World”. The uncorrected proofs are available online. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Bringing Vision Science Closer to the Real World

Vision science has demonstrated considerable success in characterizing early- and mid-level visual processes through reductionism and tightly controlled experiments. However, an understanding of high-...

Thrilled that @evadeligiannis.bsky.social was able to represent the lab at #SAW2025 by presenting her fMRI study showing responses to 3D distance in face-selective pSTS

A fantastic meeting @ucoimbra.bsky.social for #SAW2025, including lots of opportunity for great extensive discussions. I hope to attend next year too! Big thanks to the organizers, speakers, and other trainees as well as @cogbooster.bsky.social

Congrats to @evadeligiannis.bsky.social for the publication of her first paper, showing that binocular disparity enhances fMRI activation in depth areas but not face areas. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx.... Presenting 3D stims with accurate real-world geometry was a tech feat by the whole team!

Great news release too! medicine.georgetown.edu/news-release...

Excited to share our (Flo Martinez Addiego @yuqiliu1179.bsky.social @culhamari-lab.bsky.social) paper, now published in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (or an easier read on medicine.georgetown.edu/news-release... )

Congratulations to Flo Martinez-Addiego and ‪@striemamit.bsky.social‬ for the publication of a cool new paper in PNAS showing that high-level actions like tool use generalize between hand and foot, even in individuals born without hands. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Action-type mapping principles extend beyond evolutionarily conserved actions, even in people born without hands | PNAS

How are actions represented in the motor system? Although the sensorimotor system is broadly organized somatotopically, higher-level sensorimotor a...

I'm so excited to have @emij.bsky.social join the lab and take us in exciting new directions! 🥳

Emiko J Muraki@emij.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Excited to share that I’ve joined the @culhamari-lab.bsky.social Lab at Western University as a postdoctoral researcher ! I will be exploring 💭 mental imagery in 🫳🏼 visually-guided actions, especially in aphantasia. Can’t wait to dig in!

Very thought provoking perspective!

Psychological richness offers a third path to a good life Review by Shigehiro Oishi & Erin Westgate tinyurl.com/2w65k9vd

Please send recommendations for great papers that bring cognitive neuroscience closer the real world. It’s for an undergrad seminar course on “Cognitive Neuroscience for the Real World” and a review article. Empirical, theoretical, or review; broad or specific to subfields of cogneuro. Thanks!

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab (led by Flo Martinez Addiego and Yuqi Liu, in collab with @culhamari-lab.bsky.social) We tested what drives the (re?)organization of motor tool-use areas in people born without hands, who use tools with their feet instead www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tool-use brain representations are independent of the acting body part and motor experience

The sensorimotor system is broadly organized somatotopically. However, an action-type organization has also been found: a division based on action-type independent of acting body parts has been shown ...

Sofia Varon's new paper shows that participants are better at intercepting moving targets in VR when the shape of the trajectory is consistent with gravity. The results raise interesting questions about how motion perception incorporates trajectory shape. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
