Double act with @actlab.bsky.social at Cinet in Osaka. Cerebellum and Cognition. Doing paired talks is certainly good for a lively discussion…
Would love to get some colleagues at the intersection of NLP and CogSci. Reach out if you have any questions! Deadline: 31-Jul-2026
We're hiring a postdoc in the Cognitive-Motor Learning Lab, directed by Dr. Aaron L Wong! If you want to study how people monitor their performance during skilled tool-use actions, & how this error awareness is disrupted after stroke, then this position may be a good fit.
