We show that neural representations of action goals vary depending on the sensory modality of the initiation cues, even when the movement stays the same.🧠

Sensory modality of initiation cues modulates action goal-relevant neural representations
Abstract. The ability to produce goal-directed movement relies on the integration of diverse sensory cues which contribute to goal subtasks, such as trajectory planning and initiation. To achieve thes...

#IMRF2025 just started! If you are interested in #auditory and #proprioceptive target reaching, motor planning and online control, pass by my poster (n 17). Here the #preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Temporal Dynamics of Sensorimotor Integration for Non-Visual Target Information During Movement Preparation and Online Control
Online movement variability in non-visual (auditory and proprioceptive) target reaching is modality-dependent. This study investigated whether such modality-specific effects emerge during movement pre...

This year, I spent March–June at the University of Oregon, working with @mmarneweck.bsky.social on an fMRI analysis of the representational pattern similarity of lip and hand movements after upper-limb amputation.
Excited to share this at #BACN25 ✨ Find me at the datablitz/poster sessions on Friday!

What happens to motor adaptation—the way we correct errors with feedback—when feedback is indirect, like a number on a screen?

In our new paper in @royalsociety.org‬, we found that indirect feedback hinders learning compared to sensory feedback.
