Heartbreaking. I think I’ve had a glimpse into this with health issues I’ve suffered through for the last 18 months with little help from any one doctor. The despondency can be terrifying. Thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for raising this issue up.

Learned to code BASIC on one like this…and play Lemonade Stand

The best part of being a university professor to me is getting to work with amazing students and postdocs, watching them learn and grow as collaborators and beyond. Happy to receive this mentoring award on their behalf. bme.ufl.edu/2026/08/24/f...

In 2009, I made a public prediction that people would be walking down the street in robotic exoskeletons by 2024. It has not exactly come to pass yet (can I blame covid?). I get called out on it all the time. See the latest discussion in Nature. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Interested in rehab, motor control, neurophysiology, and neuroengineering? Our group is recruiting a new PhD student for fall 2027. Funding is available via a research or teaching assistantship. See attached for info, and please share!

Interesting preprint showing increased coeticomuscular connectivity in older adults with balance training. Cortico-muscular control of postural balance in older adults – effects of training on functional connectivity doi.org/10.64898/202...

Underappreciated benefit of attending scientific conferences: explaining your research findings and answering questions from knowledgeable people unfamiliar with your research can lead to epiphanies in your own understanding

So thrilled to be joining the Psychology Department at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social as an assistant prof next summer! I'll be recruiting for PhD/postdoc to start in Autumn 2027, so if you're interested in using computational approaches to studying human cognition please get in touch!

Please share! We are hiring for a tenure track faculty position! Our Institute, part of Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation and Thomas Jefferson University, is seeking applicants with experience conducting research in human translational neuroscience & neurorehabilitation. https://ow.ly/nxlf50ZtVPF

We're hiring! Postdoc position to study the neural control of reaching using high-density multi-area electrophysiology. 5 years of funding, great collaborative environment. Please share with anyone who may be interested. For details, see: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So proud of J. Raven Morris’ dissertation defense today!!! She did a fabulous job! One cool study published and two more on the way.

I am getting invited to Chinese talent programs for scientists. Does that mean I have reached a new level of scientific achievement or are they lowering their standards? Inquiring minds want to know.

Oregon State University's Department of Integrative Biology is currently hiring up to three tenure-track faculty members, with an emphasis on organismal biology. Note: Previous links are no longer active due to a change in our hiring system. oregonstate.wd501.myworkdayjobs.com/OSU_Careers_...

Having met the next generation of engineers and scientists attending Dynamic Walking 2026, I can see that the future looks very bright

Walking through the city feels automatic, but our latest work in Scientific Reports shows that urban terrain shapes where we look and how we move. Eye-tracking + foot IMUs + GPS reveal terrain-dependent gaze–gait adaptations during real-world walking. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

At #MoBI2026 you won't just hear about mobile brain/body imaging — you'll get to try it. 🧠 6 international groups + our BeMoBIL team demo their newest EEG hardware & software live in Berlin, Aug 24 Smartphones, wearables, labs on wheels, even a Hearing Car. 🔗 blogs.tu-berlin.de/bpn_mobi2026

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Yan Deng, Christiane M. Thiel, et al: Motor- and cognitive-dominant functional network adaptations supporting dual-task performance in older adults doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

There are some faculty that do high quality science and some faculty that give high quality presentations. Why are they so uncorrelated? Would love to see data to determine they are almost orthogonal axes.

I am attending a scientific conference outside my area and do not attend regularly. When did walk up songs, flashing spotlights, and such infiltrate science conferences? I never see them in biomedical engineering conferences. Truly curious.

Living in space can change where the brain sits in the skull. @ufastraeus.bsky.social's Director Rachael Seidler explains in @us.theconversation.com.

Gill Pratt, Chief Scientist at Toyota, ran the DARPA Robot Challenge in 2015. First time walking humanoids were on the world stage. Earlier he ran the "Leg Lab" within the then MIT AI Lab. Read where he thinks we are now in our robot future (spoiler: its nuanced). spectrum.ieee.org/humanoid-rob...

Is it ok if we retire the title “Thought Leader” at this point? Asking for a friend.

Should you go to academia or industry for research in AI or cognitive science? It's the most common question I get asked by PhD students, and I've written up some of my thoughts on the answer, as an epilogue to my research-focused series on these fields: infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/on-researc...

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap. dbrang.github.io/EEG-Dipole-D... Github page: github.com/dbrang/EEG-D...

✨ What better way to wrap up a conference day than sharing this view with colleagues and friends, after inspiring science and insights into mobile brain imaging? Join the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging Conference #MoBI2026 August 25–28, 2026 and enjoy this view during our social! 👉 lnkd.in/d-5SKVtU

main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂 looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible. science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv
