Wow. Published in May in The Lancet. Look at those numbers of fabricated references per 10,000 articles in PubMed. The urge to publish is overcoming the urge to, I dunno, discover and learn things? #AI #medsky 🧪 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Fabricated citations: an audit across 2·5 million biomedical papers

Scientific literature depends on the integrity of its references. Each reference implicitly asserts that a verifiable source exists and supports the claims being made. When references point to non-exi...

Does a history of falls impair how older adults adapt their balance when carrying a shopping bag? doi.org/10.1016/j.hu...

In our new short report @rmoraes-usp.bsky.social and colleagues test whether rapid corrective responses are affected by pursuing a moving target (compared to fixation) Rapid responses to reach errors are equally strong during fixation and visual pursuit journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Very happy to see our paper "Microsaccadic modulation in goal-directed reaching" published in JoV's special issue honoring the contributions of Eileen Kowler. Thanks to @rmoraes-usp.bsky.social for co-steering the ship jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... As is tradition, a Dr. Seuss style summary

In this new clinical trial, we investigated the effects of different perturbation-based balance training (PBT) session distributions (massed vs. distributed) on postural stability in older adults with a history of falls. doi.org/10.1016/j.hu...

At #ISPGR2025 we just piloted something new. Guided poster tours. Really enjoyed guiding my poster tourists along pitoresque perturbation posters. Thanks all involved for the deep discussion. Is this the productive power of many-to-many interactions we hope to promote? #poorselfies

I really like this one! The benefits of physical activity are similar whether you’ve started late in life or you’ve been active your whole life. doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2019.0355

I'm happy to share our most recent paper about perturbartion-based balance training in older adults with a history of falls. doi.org/10.1123/mc.2...

Effect of a Perturbation-Based Balance Training Session on Adaptive Locomotor Response in Older Adults With a History of Falls

Aim: To assess the adaptive response of older adults with a history of falls in a single Perturbation-Based Balance Training (PBT) session by examining the margin of stability (MoS) and the number of ...
