Super excited to be giving a talk in Pint of Science UK, even more excited to be doing it alongside my PhD supervisor Juan Álvaro Gallego :) We will talk about how our brains shape reality, and how we interact with the world. If you're interested in listening: pintofscience.co.uk/event/shaping-…

Now out in Nature Human Behaviour

We show that people can learn to control bionic hands just as effectively and in some ways better, using unnatural control strategies compared to strategies that mimic natural limb control.

Our new 📝 in PLOS Comp Biol With Julio Esparza & Enrique Rodriguez we describe the #StructureIndex , a graph-based metric to quantify how feature values are distributed over a point cloud in any dim-space (genes, neural manifolds, signals, pixels..) journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… #DeepCode

Explore the science presented at the last NCM. Excited to be part of this highlight article with super amazing. Here, you can find the link to the paper: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Nice Northwestern press release on the work that Lee and his collaborators (including us!) have been doing to extend Brain-Computer Interface use

Glad to see it opens up with our recent paper led by Mostafa Safaie & Joanna Chang along w Matt Perich Dud{man,Lab}🇺🇦 & Junchol Park

The latest MotorNet release (v0.2.0) is live!

This includes big changes, first and foremost, a COMPLETE SWAP from TensorFlow to PyTorch.

As usual, you can install it via a pip command.

Thrilled that our paper is now out in Nature!
We discovered minute-scale periodic sequences of activity in the MEC.
Big thanks to all team members who made this paper possible, especially to Edvard Ingjald Moser and May-Britt Moser for their guidance and support.

How do neural networks estimate the uncertainty of sensory inputs and predictions thereof? In our new work, we propose a central role for prediction-error circuits. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with Loreen Hertäg and Katharina Wilmes

Time to revisit a 40-yr-old theory on brain reorganization

We longitudinally scanned patients with planned hand amputations and see highly stable hand and face cortical representations before and after arm amputation

Our new NeurIPS paper presents a novel model - the 'Helmholtz Hippocampus' - rethinking how oscillations and local learning support navigation, offline planning, transfer learning and more.

tl;dr HPC might just be a big Helmholtz machine.

🔔Our new 📝 with Enrique Rodriguez is out in Nature Neuroscience Using topological analysis we show that ripple waveforms can be represented in a low-dimensional space, which conveys information about layer-specific synaptic inputs nature.com/articles/s4159… Follow 👉🏼🧵 to discover the Minotaur!

So stoked to have been a part of this workshop 🤩 Massive thanks to Arianna Di Bernardo and Simone Azeglio for organizing, and all participants for the thoughtful discussions 🧠📐
