I don’t know about others, but writing a personal statement is such a demanding and emotional process for me.
Revisiting my path and the challenges while also putting my dreams into words overwhelms me and makes me cry every single time. 🥹✨
🍰 Feeling incredibly grateful for my advisor who celebrated this preprint with a cake she baked herself! 🥳 It's the sweetest gesture of appreciation and encouragement. Thank you @neuroamyo for making this milestone even more special! #Grateful #PhDLife #BestAdvisor
So thankful for this inspiring collaboration, made possible in part by generous support from the Simons Foundation.
A epic congrats to @NeuroPavi for leading the way!
And here's the lab's first pre-print celebration cake - hopefully the first of many to come.
🎓Thrilled to share my first PhD preprint!
Our research reveals that adaptive decoders in BCIs can reshape the brain's learning process, creating compact neural representations that don't decrease in dimensionality. 🧠✨ Dive in for more!

New preprint; time for a #tweeprint!
When we learn a new skill like riding a bike, we often use training wheels to help us. Does that influence what we learn? @NeuroPavi, Alex Payeur, @g_lajoie_ and I used BCIs & RNN models to find out.

An excellent post bac opportunity to consider!!
🚨opportunity alert! 🚨
The Accelerating AI Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3) institute is recruiting postbaccs! The program lets folks dive into cutting edge research using ML in physics, astronomy, & neuroscience. Reach out if you have ?s a3d3.ai/careers/

Interested in the HHMI Gilliam fellowship? This super informative video from my friend and Gilliam fellow Lillian Horin is a must-watch. It talks about how to win the fellowship, even with the application changes this year!

Just another dull weekend...
Oh wait, India's only playing in the Cricket World Cup 🏏 and OpenAI mass exit -> Microsoft 🤖💻.
What a weekend!! #openai #tech #ai #ResponsibleAI #SamAltmanExit #WorldCup2023india

with biomedical PhD apps due soon, I get a lot of requests for help/advice this time of year. From my own experiences and including others' resources, I made this guide that I use to lead workshops, but also stands alone as a resource. Please share!

Depressing, yes. Surprising? Not so much.
This is precisely why the @network_alba #ALBADeclaration focused so heavily on workplace culture:
Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs

Had a great time at the @AllenInstitute #AllenLake conference in Seattle. Exceptional speakers, enlightening sessions and oh my, the boat cruise 🚢!!
I presented a poster on our work that shows how adaptive decoders change the way the brain learns. Curious!? Reach out to me.
Led by myself and Alexandre Payeur sparked by the collaboration between @neuroamyo and @g_lajoie_ .

Back in August, scientists revealed they had used AI to read the mind of 29 patients.
They reproduced a Pink Floyd 🤘🏽 song just from brain waves.
Crazy.
Every month, I pick the Top-10 crazy things happening in the brain AI-chips space. Here are they for Sept: 🧵👇🏼

So proud to have been a part of the (insanely talented) @aestudio team that made this happen.
Go check out the GitHub. Build on it. Beat our method! Share. Repeat :)
From imagined writing to reality! In 2021, Willet et al. revolutionized #BCI, enabling individuals with paralysis to write just by thinking it.
We built on this amazing result to improve efficiency & performance. We’re thrilled to share our code github.com/agencyenterprise/…

My first time attending CoSyNe!! physically tired and mentally fired up🔥 at the same time!!
Learned a ton, zoomed out to a bird’s eye view of neurospace, got inspired, met some great minds, gained acquaintances and danced to 🧠DJ!! Thank you #cosyne2023!! You rocked!!
