Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)

1/ Thrilled to start on Bluesky with our latest publication in Nature Neuroscience (@natneuro.nature.com) – and huge congratulations to RoryBufacchi who led this work (first at @ucl.ac.uk and then @iitalk.bsky.social) with extraordinary insight and fastidiousness.

Egocentric value maps of the near-body environment
Nature Neuroscience - Some neurons act like body-proximity sensors. The authors show that these neurons reflect the value of contacting or avoiding objects. Together, these neurons compose a...

One of my proudest works—especially thinking back to neuroscience classes 10–20 years ago, when we were taught that measuring EEG during naturalistic behavior wasn’t feasible. Hopefully, this helps make it less of a taboo.
EEG of the Dancing Brain - new paper out! 🧠🕺

Thrilled to share our latest work on disentangling the neural basis of real-time social dance!!

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶
While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Development of Auditory and Spontaneous Movement Responses to Music over the First Year of Life
Humans across cultures not only share the ability to recognise music but also respond to it through movement. While the sensory encoding of music is well-studied, when and how infants naturally start ...

How well can video-based methods estimate body kinematics? In my recent paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, we show that accuracy of one such method (OpenPose) varied substantially across subjects & body parts. Interestingly, this accuracy strongly depended on the movement amplitude. t.ly/4Tlnc
