The complete explanation of the Rubber Hand Illussion is coming up soon!
Do you really think that mapping solely depends on the brain. An internal organ which never saw anything externally?!

Grasping is already completely explained. Three autonomous foci are present within one complex dynamics system.

We store massive amounts of cognitive knowledge about the latent ball trajectory shapes which need to sprout out of the already manifest part of the trajectory.

F.e. badminton feather shuttles show a remarkable velocity profile.

Car driving is already completely explained. 3 foci. One focus is always on the movement within the environment. Two foci are always occupied with the egocentric driving.

Please stop researching phenomena who are already completely explained.

egocentric movement (2 foci). All within one delicate complex dynamic system meticulously mediated by the cortical streams.

Imo this can never be replicated in robots. Or we finally must be capable to clone brains and insert them in robots.

I have no clue why this so called sequence-struggle hypothesis is an issue?

The whole phenomenon of sequential learning is explained. Humans create templates in lots of activities - taxi drivers, sailers, piano players,

Why are you all so obsessed with publishing and promoting yourselves in The Lancet? Do you think Darwin, Aristotle, Newton, Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Leibniz, Curie, or Einstein ever cared about impact factors or journal rankings? They weren’t chasing prestige — they were chasing truth.

Is this the state of science nowadays?

Ego's, ego's, ego's?????

(Btw all of them, not only the one reviewer.)
I got a request in a recent review to insert a large number of wholly irrelevant citations.

I complained to the editor immediately, and that review was simply removed.

Blocking this kind of nonsense is an editor's responsibility, make them do it. (And I'm saying that as an editor myself!)
Except that the net result is that the paper is retracted and has to be re-reviewed. At least the publisher notes this is not the fault of authors, but it sucks for them all the same.

Dear Dominika,

The skill of giving feedback might probably not be the problem. Please, get lots of professors in your conference and learn them to put their ego's aside.
Feedback is a skill we can learn and practice, just like science itself. Join us for an interactive workshop on giving/receiving feedback in academic life.

No, they are already completely explained for 10 years now. But the fact that you don't want to communicate with me (living 300 m. from your work
Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Concurrent selection of internal goals and external sensations during visual search
Internal and external selection processes can codevelop in time to yield efficient search behavior.
