What do humans, mice, and flies have in common? According to a recent study by @nidhi_s91 and @YangTanColl Fellow @AntoineComite, we share similar strategies to remain balanced when we walk.

Fun collaboration with @andpru @AntoineComite @hariteja11 on the merits of infinite horizon control model: how does the brain select a movement time?
Infinite horizon control captures modulation of movement duration in reaching movements biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited that this work discovering cross-species signatures of stabilizing foot placement control is now out in PNAS!

How do animals walk stably in the presence of intrinsic noise or external perturbations?
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We currently lack a unified answer to this question across species with diverse embodiment. In this preprint, we provide evidence that legged species use a common strategy for stable locomotion: foot placement control! (1/6)

1/5 Thrilled to share our Perspective in @NatureComms! Collaborating with @SolaimanShokur & @PTVassiliadis on this was such a rewarding experience. If you're into motor control and/or reward processing and/or neurotechnology, please take a look! Link: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Update on our similarity-repository 🚨
More than 200 similarity measures across 32 papers are now registered!
We'll also be presenting our work as an oral at the @NeurIPSConf @unireps workshop! (1/6)

We recently put forth a predictive theoretical model that captures locomotor adaptation phenomena in many different tasks and timescales.
To learn more, follow me on @nidhise.bsky.social. I will be doing a deep dive into the paper in the next two days.

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing

Here’s our latest work at @g_lajoie_ and @mattperich's labs! Excited to see this out.
We used a combination of neural recordings & modelling to show that RL yields neural dynamics closer to biology, with useful continual learning properties.

Do humans, mice and flies control their feet similarly when they walk? 🪰🐁🚶
We explored that question in our recent work with @nidhi_s91 by investigating large scale locomotion datasets.

Circling is observed in many mouse vestibular disorder models but is often left unquantified. Our paper, led by Oliver Stanley @oliwhail, introduces a tool leveraging @DeepLabCut to automatically identify circling and facilitate behavioral quantification. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Our latest paper that we are very excited about is out!
"Online movements reflect ongoing deliberation."
A tour de force effort by the outstanding @Jan_Calalo, with contributions from @carterjmike @NEneeSW.

I am extremely happy to share our latest study: Evidence for interacting but decoupled controls of decisions and movements in non-human primates (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… ) carried out as part of my doctorate under the supervision of @Actarus25 (David Thura).

New paper alert!
"Fast grip force adaptation to friction relies on localized fingerpad strains" just out in @ScienceAdvances (science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…)
Check the #tweetprint 👇 below 👇
Using our newly developed device (see xitter.cf/delhayeben/status/1426…), we then tested how human participants adapt their grip force to an unexpected change of friction.
