My postdoc paper is out ! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… We asked what happens in motor cortex when planning multiple movements in parallel. We asked this question through the lens of the (now not so) recent dynamical systems theory of motor planning. (1/n)

Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking that leads to “random walk science.” Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments towards deeper insights, writes @gershbrain.

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.

What happens in the brain when we plan a complicated action, like tying a shoe ? Does motor cortex plan everything in advance before we move, or does it divide the movement into smaller chunks and replan on the fly? Come by Poster 450 on Wednesday afternoon to find out #FENS2024

Prospective PhD opportunity on Timing and Metacognition in Rats at @NeuroPSI_saclay. Longer description here: adum.fr/as/ed/voirpropositio… Contact me if interested !
PhD opportunity in our lab ! Join us in Marseille (southern France ☀️) to study the neural basis of motor skill learning in the primate brain. Keywords: neural dynamics, motor cortex, machine learning, BCI. Apply here: neuro-marseille.org/en/Calls… and contact me if interested !
Tomorrow at #Cosyne24 I’ll be presenting our recent study on the neural basis of parallel movement planning in the motor cortex, testing new population-level predictions of the dynamical systems theory. Come by Poster [3-120] if you’re interested !

100% this 👇 I follow a similar process when thinking about how the brain solves a task. Define reasonable inputs/outputs and think through how the system may transform those ins into those outs. Several algorithmic solutions often emerge and give hypotheses to test in the data.

Are you a postbac interested in neural engineering / BCIs? 🧠🤖🗣️
Come join our team!! Work directly with our amazing BCI participants.
Great exposure for prospective grad/med school applicants! snel.ai/positions

New from the lab: Cerebellar cortical activity underlying temporal stimuli is heterogeneous, multiplexed and complex not unlike profiles found in the frontal cerebral cortex. Great work by @JovisFilius, Jon Bregman and Marit Runge! Thanks to Chris too!

Amazing scientist, amazing mission, and amazing song. We listen to it often!
What is the Psyche mission all about?
Here’s a rap summary of the PhD thesis of @eapsMIT scientist Dr. Clara Maurel which contributed research to the mission!

2023-2024 JOB ALERT📢: postdoc fellow position available in the Neuro-AI & Geometric Data Analysis group @FlatironInst @NYU_CNS! Join us in the thriving community of computational neuroscientists @FlatironCCN + NYU's amazing brain science & ML community.
Help 🧐 ! I’m looking for recommendations for background reading for a senior undergrad who wants to learn about systems neuroscience: spikes, firing rates, neural code, link to behavior, etc. Looking for intro-level material. Any suggestions would we be ∞ly appreciated ! 🙏
