Bringing Vision Science Closer to the Real World
Vision science has demonstrated considerable success in characterizing early- and mid-level visual processes through reductionism and tightly controlled experiments. However, an understanding of high-...

Check out a new paper in Nature Communications Biology with @dianadima.com and Yalda Mohzenzadeh using fMRI-EEG fusion to reveal how brain responses to action videos and sentences unfold across the visual system over time www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Thrilled that @evadeligiannis.bsky.social was able to represent the lab at #SAW2025 by presenting her fMRI study showing responses to 3D distance in face-selective pSTS

Congrats to @evadeligiannis.bsky.social for the publication of her first paper, showing that binocular disparity enhances fMRI activation in depth areas but not face areas. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx.... Presenting 3D stims with accurate real-world geometry was a tech feat by the whole team!

Congratulations to Flo Martinez-Addiego and ‪@striemamit.bsky.social‬ for the publication of a cool new paper in PNAS showing that high-level actions like tool use generalize between hand and foot, even in individuals born without hands. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm so excited to have @emij.bsky.social join the lab and take us in exciting new directions! 🥳

Please send recommendations for great papers that bring cognitive neuroscience closer the real world. It’s for an undergrad seminar course on “Cognitive Neuroscience for the Real World” and a review article. Empirical, theoretical, or review; broad or specific to subfields of cogneuro. Thanks!

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab (led by Flo Martinez Addiego and Yuqi Liu, in collab with @culhamari-lab.bsky.social) We tested what drives the (re?)organization of motor tool-use areas in people born without hands, who use tools with their feet instead www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tool-use brain representations are independent of the acting body part and motor experience
The sensorimotor system is broadly organized somatotopically. However, an action-type organization has also been found: a division based on action-type independent of acting body parts has been shown ...

Sofia Varon's new paper shows that participants are better at intercepting moving targets in VR when the shape of the trajectory is consistent with gravity. The results raise interesting questions about how motion perception incorporates trajectory shape. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
