Motor automaticity in natural keyboard typing

Certain features of everyday motor skills become automatic while others remain controlled. Here we use a novel keyboard typing task to investigate whether motor automaticity depends on the frequency o...

I have so many issues with this podcast with @earlkmiller.bsky.social . I think that this podcast nicely shows why I have trouble with such approaches. Lets go through some of the claims.

Two neuroscience faculty positions @uoknightcampus.bsky.social careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/53...

Happy to announce that my lab @ Yale Psychology (actcompthink.org) will be accepting PhD applications this year (for start in Fall '26)! Come for the fun experiments on human learning, memory, & skilled behavior, stay for the best 🍕 in the US. Please reach out if you have any questions!

You should come and be our colleague! The senior level search is open area FYI

Psychology at the University of Iowa@psychiowa.bsky.social · last yr.

Heads up! We are doing two searches this year—for an assistant prof in Clinical Science, and an associate/full prof in any domain of psychology. Want to learn more? Contact the dept chair, Mark Blumberg, at mark-blumberg@uiowa.edu. Ads will be posted soon on our homepage: psychology.uiowa.edu

Happy to share our paper showing repetition challenges flexible control of prehensile actions under conditions of heightened visual uncertainty. Proud of & lucky to have superstar PhD student Catherine Sager. Also loved working with @iangreenhouse.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy Pride Month from Salt Creek Falls!

"Universities" are faceless. Individuals - scientists, doctors, staff, students, etc. - worked hard to compete for these awards and had their proposals vetted by panels of experts. These people earned their grants with effort!

Maya Sen@mayasen.bsky.social · last yr.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Scientists now believe that there may be life on planet K2-18b. Here's why that's bad news for Democrats.

there are so many amazing middle-grade magical novels for young readers that have come out in the last decade-ish written by people who are not hateful assholes btw, a quick sampling off the top of my head:

This was on TikTok

Dr. Barres was an amazing person and neuroscientist. His story is worth sharing.

John Prensner@johnprensner.bsky.social · last yr.

This is an amazing book. Anyone who has not read it, I encourage you to do so. There is no more urgent time than now.

Sharing this brave piece that echos a lot of what I have been feeling. The silence around DEI from institutions means the damage is already done. Leadership asking us to keep our heads down to prevent actual damage ignore that it’s already here for people like me. stanforddaily.com/2025/03/03/f...

How do I apply for one of these "block" grants I keep reading about?

Wow. I just had a discussion about this very issue last week. One of the underappreciated goals of all the recent anti-DEI propaganda is to make you feel as if those who support DEI efforts are on the fringe. Don't believe the hype.

New research reveals that Americans dramatically underestimate the support for diversity among their fellow Americans, a misperception that may be fueling silence and inaction.

An outstanding undergraduate in the lab discovered that tonic muscle activity is transiently suppressed while failing to stop an action - as if stopping is still attempted and the inhibition spills over to other muscles 150-203 ms after the signal to stop. www.eneuro.org/content/earl...
