🚨 PREPRINT ALERT 🚨
Everyday we walk on different surfaces, but how do our feet perceive these textures? Do our feet perceive textures the same as our hands? What about under high forces during walking? Check out our latest #preprint osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/47…

Interactions between the #foot & ground during #balance & #gait are more complex than you may think, especially when there are environment changes. This means that input to the #tactile system is also complex and must be decoded! Read to find out more!
New from #JRSocInterface: Complexity of #spatiotemporal plantar pressure patterns during everyday behaviours. Read the full paper: ow.ly/Tg8E50P3lSY @cleland_luke @SuperHannes @claudiamazza5

🚨IT’S OUT🚨
@mcasal and I explored population coding strategies of human tactile afferents, and the paper is now published in @PLOSCompBiol
Take a look! Comments and thoughts are overly welcome✌️

Have you grown up with textbook animal work from the 80s, stating an amputated finger's 'cortical territory' gets invaded by its neighbours? Confused by human amputee research mainly showing stability, and want a direct face-off? Our new paper's out: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…. 1/🧵

#NeuromatchAcademy2020 journey completed! Python & lots of models! It's more than enjoyable learning and working with these talented gropumates in our pod-eggplantcobra! @ChrisJungerius @EzgiBelkis @lauraredmondson @dottoredottore & Matteo, Fede, Mai,Verena!
Proud of my pod's #NeuromatchAcademy project comparing representational dissimilarity in the human visual stream and a CNN model, which I've succinctly summarised in this picture:

Horace Barlow developed one of the most successful theoretical models of the sensory system (the Efficient Coding Hypothesis)...

Sad news. Horace Barlow, one of the great thinkers about the brain, has passed away. Born 8 Dec 1921, he saw almost a full century, and taught us about vision, perceptual inference, neural coding, learning, and more. #neuroscience #vision #NeuralNetworks

Over the last three weeks, our @CodeFirstGirls Python course has been busy remotely working on their projects. 23 students successfully finished the course this week, with some fantastic work for a beginners course!
Big congratulations to all our students! 🎊

Our project winner this term was Vanessa Kam, who made a cool widget, where you can change the country to visualise the data in a plot.
Congratulations Vanessa! 🥳
