Are standing and walking overrated? Ableism in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Disabil Rehabil

August 2025

John Walsh Centre for Rehabilitation Research, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.

Purpose: This article examines how ableist assumptions may influence spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation and hinder the adjustment to life with a disability.

Materials And Methods: Recognising the growing importance of lived experience insight, we integrate experiential learning, critical reflection, and engagement with academic literature to provide a reflexive account drawing on our expertise as quadriplegics and researchers.

Results: Ableism may influence rehabilitation, especially as internalised by people with SCI.

The myth of the Bayesian brain.

Eur J Appl Physiol

June 2025

Division of Biomechanics and Research Development, Department of Biomechanics, Center for Research in Human Movement Variability, Omaha, NE, 68182, USA.

The Bayesian brain hypothesis-the idea that neural systems implement or approximate Bayesian inference-has become a dominant framework in cognitive neuroscience over the past two decades. While mathematically elegant and conceptually unifying, this paper argues that the hypothesis occupies an ambiguous territory between useful metaphor and testable, biologically plausible mechanistic explanation. We critically examine the key claims of the Bayesian brain hypothesis, highlighting issues of unfalsifiability, biological implausibility, and inconsistent empirical support.
