What about saccades and flashes?

New implication for sensorimotor adaptability 👀 A new study from our laboratory shows that during visual exploration, saccadic inhibition remains stable, while oculomotor rebound weakens with repetition, demonstrating motor habituation.

Sustained dynamics of saccadic inhibition and adaptive oculomotor responses during continuous exploration
In natural environments, stimuli often recur across time and space, requiring the visual system to remain sensitive to novelty while managing predictability. A central question in systems neuroscience...

🛠️🧠 How do we reshape the material world? Not by general intelligence alone, but through a specialized neural system: the left area PF fuels our capacity to reason about physical causality—core to tool use, invention, and cumulative culture.

Left Area PF as a Neural Marker of Technical Reasoning
Humans possess a unique capacity for technical reasoning - the ability to infer and manipulate the causal structure of the physical world. Although this faculty is central to technological innovation,...

In Parkinson’s disease, fatigue may reflect impaired motor preparation. 🔍

This TMS study shows absent pre-movement facilitation (PMF) in the most affected hemisphere of fatigued patients — a potential neurophysiological marker ⚡🧠

Lack of pre-movement facilitation as neurophysiological hallmark of fatigue in patients with Parkinson's disease: A single pulse TMS study
Fatigue is a debilitating symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly affecting quality of life. Despite its prevalence, the underlying neuroph…

👀🛠️ How do we look at tools? Familiarity reshapes visual attention: we search for meaning first, action later—unless prior knowledge shortcuts the process.

🥼 A new preprint from @luigivalio.bsky.social & @neurogiovanni.bsky.social

Check it out! 👇
The visual encoding of familiar and unfamiliar tools
How do we extract meaning and understand the action potential of everyday objects? In this eye-tracking study, we show that familiarity with tools modulates the temporal dynamics of their visual explo...

Sunday May 18, I’ll present remotely at #VSS2025 @vssmtg.bsky.social a study with @celestecafaro.bsky.social and Alessio Fracasso on how repeated visual transients reliably trigger saccadic inhibition, while motor recovery adapts over time
