We experience our actions and their sensory consequences as synchronous despite small
sensorimotor delays. This is attained by an adaptation process in which the sensorimotor
system recalibrates tempo...

Despite small delays, we feel our actions and their effects happen at the same time due to our brain's ability to adapt and recalibrate.

Preprint alert!
In our latest study, we show that affective context can shape how we feel touch during movement. In a virtual reality environment, participants moved their hands to avoid spiders or approach rabbits by extending or flexing their arms while we measured tactile sensitivity.

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.
Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

The nocebo effect appears to work more strongly and more persistently than the placebo effect when it comes to pain, a new study has found. 🧪

When It Comes To Pain, The Nocebo Effect Beats The Placebo Effect
The nocebo effect is stronger and longer lasting than its more positive counterpart.

OK I had announced this before but forgot to say that Andrew Gelman would be joining Nancy Cartwright and myself as well. Short idea talks, lots of panel discussion and Q&A.
Join us on April 25th to discuss RCTs, replications, and scientific inference.
