Dear all, we will now entirely stop posting here. Follow the Sensori-motor Integration and plasticity team on Bluesky: @touchmovelab.bsky.social
See you there!
Check out our latest work on embodiment, now out on BioRxiv!
1/4 In our latest BioRxiv, we show that mice can embody an artificial forelimb. Check it out here, and read on to learn more.

The Datasaurus Dozen is a collection of thirteen datasets that, despite having nearly identical summary statistics—such as mean, variance, and correlation—exhibit vastly different distributions when visualized. This underscores the critical importance of graphing data to uncover underlying patterns that summary statistics alone may obscure.

Overlapping fields from multiple implanted electrodes, but not stimulation of a single electrode, allowed for precise use of a bionic hand. (from the late Sliman Bensmaia and his collaborators)

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac.
Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute.
Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond. xitter.cf/NeuroPSI_saclay/status…

Traveling waves form patterns that carry information.
Horizontal cortical connections shape intrinsic traveling waves into feature-selective motifs that regulate perceptual sensitivity

How does sensorimotor (S1/M1) cortex support adaptive motor control?
Come find out in our latest preprint, which spans the development of a full adult forelimb model + physics simulations, neural-modeling for control, complex 🐭behavior 🕹️, large-scale imaging, and of course @DeepLabCut and @CEBRA!
We hypothesized that S1 supports motor learning by computing prediction errors. To tackle this, we needed to understand what is being represented, and no studies have reported what forelimb S1 represents during learning in mice🧠🐭. Moreover, this requires modeling the body🦾: kinematics, torques, force, muscle activations, & proprioception (muscle spindles & GTOs).
After our 7 year journey, we have an answer: S1 & M1 represent muscle-level features. During learning, computational motifs map to functional types (like muscle-encoding), and neural dynamics in S1 change & encode sensorimotor prediction errors!
