Goal-directed Cognition - Embodied Cognition
I just stumbled across a great article on Boston.com about "Embodied Cognition". It describes how we often perform complex cognitive tasks better if we are allowed to move around. This reminded me a lot of an article cal...[more]

The frontpage of PLoS One is currently featuring links to our study on spontaneous behavior:

As you can see, this was sparked by a post on boingboing, initiated by one of my students from last term's neuroinformatics cour...[more]

New on brembs.net: spontaneity

I gave the entire 'spontaneity' section a revamp. It's now just a short text providing some general background linking together the three publications concerning the ability of all animals to generate spontaneous behavio...[more]

We got slashdotted!
It appears the media coverage our study on spontaneous fruit fly behavior (updated press release) made it to the cover not only of LiveScience, but also on /.


I've replied to the story and there's already a link from one...[more]

Let the onslaught begin
It is done! Our paper on spontaneous activity in Drosophila fruit flies is finally out in PLoS One. Almost 4 years of hard work in the can! Phew!

And the media reports are already starting to pour in:

Free will is a popular topic
What surprising effects a press-release can have. Our paper on spontaneous behavior in the fruit fly Drosophila due to appear in PLoS One next week is accompanied by a press-release PLoS sent out just a day or two ago. T...[more]
