Please feel free to share these opportunities with anyone who might be interested. I don’t have any formal relationship with FAPESP (just some funding from them), but I’d be happy to talk with anyone who is curious or thinking about applying and help however I can.

2. FAPESP Grant for International Researchers (for Early-Career or Junior Researchers)

For early-career researchers seeking to establish themselves in Brazil. It offers grant funding for research activities and scholarships for students and other team members. fapesp.br/17470/call-f...

1. International Thematic Grant
Aimed at senior researchers and offers funding for a five-year collaborative research project. It includes a competitive salary (comparable to a Full Professor in Brazil), research funds, and scholarships for team members.

Thanks!

I am pretty sure @alexandrenobre.bsky.social looked at it, but I don't think we did formal testing on it. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

I was positive it was something about action improving learning, but, in general, sequential effects did not change much with/without action.

Why does this happen? We are not sure yet, but it seems that action somehow modulates how we estimate the probability of occurrence of events. (7/7)

Interestingly, this effect only showed up when FPs varied within a block. When FPs stayed constant, the difference vanished! This suggests that voluntary actions interact with uncertainty in temporal preparation. (6/7)

We found that: (1) When people triggered an event themselves, their RTs were slower than when the same event was externally triggered; (2) This was especially true for shorter delays (FPs), but the difference disappeared for longer FPs. (5/7)

Here, we explore how voluntary actions shape temporal preparation. In 4 experiments, participants responded to visual stimuli that appeared after a delay, sometimes triggered by their actions and sometimes externally. (4/7)

However, it is also well known that action can modulate time perception (like nicely reviewed by @martinwiener.bsky.social ) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... (3/7)

It is well known that the probability of an event occurring at a given time can modulate behavior. Although the exact mechanisms behind this effect are still unclear, this is one of the most replicated effects in temporal expectations. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... (2/7)

My heart is still with Fernanda Torres. Although I think Demi Moore will win.
