I greatly value feedback and would love to hear your comments about my words and actions. For example: If we've discussed science together or you've seen me give a presentation, was everything clear? Which topics should I try to explain better next time? Did I say or do something that came across negatively? Did I say or do something you particularly appreciated? Thank you taking a moment to leave me an anonymous comment – your input will help me improve!

The sense of self relies on proprioceptors, sensory neurons that detect mechanical forces within the body. Mamiya and colleagues investigate how proprioceptors detect specific mechanical features, such as joint position and movement. They show how feature selectivity arises from the biomechanics of the proprioceptive organ and discover topographic neural maps of leg joint angle and vibration frequency.
