This paper shows how measures and constructs in psychology get introduced but rarely reused. Would love to see a similar analysis done on methods of analyzing neural data. A Fragmented Field: Construct and Measure Proliferation in Psychology" Anvari et al., 2025 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
New preprint! 🎉 How can we measure how the nervous system knows, moment to moment, where the body is as it moves? We introduce a continuous tracking paradigm to measure the hidden dynamics of proprioception—revealing it is faster and more precise than vision during movement. tinyurl.com/yf297k53
Tracking the hidden dynamics of proprioception
Every movement unfolds with a simple question: Where is my body? The nervous system answers through proprioception - the sense of limb position (static position sense) and movement (dynamic propriocep...

This graph took me 3 years to make. It's perhaps the largest-ever #metaanalysis of #TMS #BrainStim data. It includes my first real scientific discovery 🧵: When you stimulate the hand with a brief electric pulse, your brain and spinal cord are momentarily less excitable: muscle output decreases 1/n

Occipital tACS does not modulate manual performance but fixation variability under visuo-proprioceptive conflict - Neurophysiology
The modulation of oscillations at alpha and beta frequency ranges recorded over sensory cortices has been linked to the top-down weighting of sensory information relative to (competing) information from other modalities. Here, using a virtual reality-based hand-target matching task under visuo-proprioceptive conflict, we tested whether alpha-/beta-tACS over the occipital cortex would improve action performance when conflicting visual movement feedback needed to be ignored in favor of proprioception. Participants had to match a target rhythm with either their unseen real hand (RH) grasping movements, or with the movements of a virtual hand (VH) that displayed their actual movements after a constant time delay. Visual movement feedback was, consequently, either task-relevant (VH task) or a distractor (RH task). In a cross-over, double-blind, within-subject design, we applied either low-intensity (2 mA peak-to-peak) transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) at 10 Hz (“alpha”) or 20 Hz (“beta”), or sham, over the occipital cortex during this task. Neither alpha- nor beta-tACS significantly affected hand-target matching performance, but fixation variability in the RH condition significantly decreased during beta-tACS relative to sham stimulation. Thus, despite not directly modulating manual performance, occipital beta-tACS could have facilitated ignoring the mismatching (distracting) visual movement feedback when needed.

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3
