If you're interested in our findings or the topic of online planning more generally, there is also a great insight piece by Raeed Chowdhury accompanying the publication! Thanks Raeed for taking the time! elifesciences.org/articles/101739

I was initially skeptical of this effort, but this work is genuinely creative and interesting! Excited to see where this work goes as they take this beyond Minecraft.

I have been asked way too many times: how do I work at Apple, how do I get a job in tech, on and on. I never answer that because people who ask that kind of question are not being honest about their goals. 🧵1/

🚨 I am looking for a postdoc! We'll get into multi-site neuropixel recordings and closed-loop stimulation in NHPs performing tasks related to attention, self-control, and decision-making. DMs/emails with questions are welcome. Please share and RT! utaustin.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UTstaff/job/AU…

In the 50s and 60s MPTP was tested in humans as a TREATMENT for Parkinson's disease, when in fact it causes almost immediate Parkinson's. Why? Because the drug was only ever tested in rats before going to humans. Primate testing is essential for safe and effective drugs.

Excited to share with you our new pre-print on whole-body motor tuning! We revisited the motor homunculus using 20 microelectrode arrays placed in 8 people, to create the first comprehensive map of human motor cortex at single neuron resolution. 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I highly recommend this important program! Now open to all new faculty (for provincial) and tri-agency supported postdocs (federal or provincial).
