My lab at the University of Haifa is looking for new team members to join our research on the links between sensory perception (focus on #smell and human #olfaction) and human memory.
Please help me spread the word

Very interesting read! The role of interception in biological functioning is only starting to be revealed
?!?!?
This work suggests that differences in eye activity of children with autism may reflect a broader challenge with aligning internal processes to external events.
When the children with ASD engaged with predictable events, modulation of their pupils and microsaccades were reduced. We also found correlations with manual motor behavior.
👀 Eye movements aren’t just random. They naturally align with the timing of events around us, to support flexible interaction with the environment.
In autism, we find this basic coupling to be disrupted, highlighting reduced temporal flexibility.
🥳 Excited to share our new preprint!
We show that children with autism have impaired oculomotor adjustment to external events.

Top: Experimental paradigm includes 4 rhythmic conditions with decreased periodicity. Bottom: Reduced modulation of inter-trial phase coherence (ITPC) by periodicity is found for ASD group. A. ITPC topography plots show the gradated pattern across cortical channels for NT and ASD. B. ITPC values in each condition presented for different cortical regions. Dots represent the individuals C. Group average slopes. D. Rain-cloud plots for individual slopes in each cortical region. All cortical areas but frontal show significantly reduced (shallower) slopes for ASD than NT. (**p<0.01; *p<0.05).

New preprint! 🎉
We show that individuals with autism exhibit reduced neural and behavioral entrainment to rhythmic sensory input - especially when rhythms are imperfect.
This may help explain why uncertain or chaotic environments feel overwhelming to these individuals.

Unbelievable
A friend made this. Please share :)
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

This enlightening paper offers a model for atypical behaviors and neural activity in #autism, framing it as the system’s dynamic range: high dynamic range in ASD can explain poor input discrimination for most input intensities, with high discrimination at lowest and highest intensities.
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) launched the joint Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine (CEPM). Applications are now open for our inaugural PhD in Health Science Engineering. Apply by January 1, 2025! cepmresearch.org/academic-pro...
I think there is a way to do exploratory research very rigorously. Just use full transparency. Publish the entire github history for the analysis chain, nits, zits, and all. And of course, focus more on the strength of evidence than posthoc narrative building.
