🚨Two weeks away!🚨 Reminder that our first workshop of the year will happen in two weeks featuring @russpoldrack.org. 🧠 Better Code, Better Science 📅22 April 2026 🔗Register: forms.gle/WRUdGQEpd5is... #OHBM #OpenScience

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Lorenz Assländer (Uni Konstanz) to our #DHPRlab meeting. He spoke about the cybernetics of human balance -how the nervous system integrates sensory cues to maintain stability- and about Augmented Visual Orientation Cues technology. Thank you, @cybal.bsky.social🙏

Wir gratulieren! Lorenz Assländer @cybal.bsky.social und Matthias Albrecht von der #UniKonstanz erhalten den Dr. K. H. Eberle Preis 2025 für eine innovative Augmented-Reality-Brille, die das Gleichgewicht älterer Menschen und neurologischer PatientInnen verbessern soll. Details: t1p.de/jcafk

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

📺 In the German primetime TV show JENKE Experiment, participants endured three hours of boredom - with a few theory-driven curveballs 😁 A vivid reminder that doing “nothing” can be tough & that boredom really matters. Very excited to have contributed to this project. www.joyn.de/bts/serien/j...

Please repost! We have an open rank, tenure-line faculty position in biomechanics in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. At U-M we have great colleagues, exceptional resources, and biomechanics can be found all across the campus. #BiomechSky

Is it me, or the train moving? We use vision to maintain balance. Just close your eyes while standing on one leg and you typically feel less stable. But if we use vision, how come we do not fall when looking at a moving visual reference, e.g. a train? 📈🧠🧪 #sensorimotor #balance #BiomechSky

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Which Kind of Science Reform

What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

📢 New Publication 📢 Effort differentially shapes behavior before, during & after an action. w/ @bcheval.bsky.social, Silvio & Florent, we explore stage-specific effects of physical effort & how these dynamically modulate each other. Now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences 🤩🤩 Curious? ⬇️

Online Now: Unpacking the dynamic role of physical effort in shaping behavior

I wrote an article earlier in the week arguing that we need to give junior researchers more independence earlier, and this should be our focus, not moonshot mega projects led by senior researchers. I was surprised how much agreement I'm seeing. So next question: how do we do this?

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · last yr.

Large-scale projects run the risk of stifling scientific independence. Instead, let’s explore alternative mechanisms of collaboration, writes @neuralreckoning.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/neur...

Science question: we believe we have identified a mechanism for sensory integration in balance. We predicted distortions, tested and confirmed them. Reviewer: "..it is difficult to accept that these distortions provide additional support to the proposed model given there may be other sources." 🧪🧠📈

1/5) 🫤 I'm 100% not with you on this. Sorry, @ecologistgreen.bsky.social, but IMO this editorial is totally off the mark. What does peer review accomplish? Does it make science more trustworthy and credible? Nope. Let's get real for a moment... 🧪

David Green, PhD@ecologistgreen.bsky.social · last yr.

Who’s with me? #PeerReview ensures the integrity of scientific knowledge. Science isn’t social media, and it’s dangerous to treat it as such. For this reason, I believe preprints serve an anti-science agenda & threaten our fields. Check out my editorial in @ScholarlyKitchen.bsky.social. 🧪 #SciPub

Interested in motor control or cerebellar function? We have two openings for graduate students for Fall 25. Join the sensorimotor superlab - our interdisciplinary research group Paul Gribble and Andrew Pruszynski. Application instructions at diedrichsenlab.org. Please repost 🙏

I don't think the article is as noteworthy as the extraordinary open peer review and editorial summaries - imagine it was all done this way metaror.org/kotahi/artic...

When the internal review process is the most rigorous, you mostly get helpful reviewer comments - and sometimes this. Thank you reviewer #2 😎

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
