New paper out from the #HAKi Lab Sound and touch shape movement differently depending on the phase: modality affects how long it takes to plan the reach and how precise it is once underway, but not the initial launch of the movement. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very interesting point of view on the use of #AI to explain biological processes of behaviour. If it’s computationally plausible, it doesn’t mean that it is biologically meaningful www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... taken from superlab.ca/posts/2026-0...

It is well known that movement accuracy decline if there’s a delay between target vision and movement onset. Is the same true for haptically sensed targets? With @volcic.bsky.social we found that it depends on the posture of the reaching and sensing hands. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Bimanual Postural Similarity Facilitates Haptic Memory-Guided Reaching

In the visual domain, the precision of memory-guided reaching movements gradually decays as the delay between vision withdrawal and movement onset increases. Such a decrease is often linked to the imp...

Learning statistics with R A tutorial for psychology students and other beginners by Danielle Navarro #RStats https://bigbookofr.com/chapters/psychology.html#learning-statistics-with-r-a-tutorial-for-psychology-students-and-other-beginners

Wrapped up an amazing two months at Justus Liebig University Giessen hosted by the brilliant Katja Fiehler ! So grateful for the opportunity to work on a preregistered research project on #tactile suppression and to meet many wonderful scientists! #preregistration #collaboration #neuroscience

#IMRF2025 just started! If you are interested in #auditory and #proprioceptive target reaching, motor planning and online control, pass by my poster (n 17). Here the #preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Temporal Dynamics of Sensorimotor Integration for Non-Visual Target Information During Movement Preparation and Online Control

Online movement variability in non-visual (auditory and proprioceptive) target reaching is modality-dependent. This study investigated whether such modality-specific effects emerge during movement pre...

New preprint out. Do we plan actions differently when we reach an auditory or proprioceptive target? Or we use a similar plan, but differently modulate the action execution? #preprint #motorcontrol #multisensory #audition #propriocetion #sensorimotor www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are actions toward auditory targets different from those toward proprioceptive targets? You can check it out in this preprint from the newly enstablished HAKi Lab, leveraging @deeplabcut.bsky.social for pose estimation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Research #Auditory #Proprioception #movement

The Contribution of Audition and Proprioception in Unisensory and Multisensory Target Reaching

Everyday actions often involve reaching for targets sensed by auditory and proprioceptive senses (reaching a ringing smartphone in the dark or tapping on it while holding it with the other hand). Howe...
