This summer I spent time in Alaska doing field work with bears. It was a wonderful experience to learn more about bears and meet our collaborators!!

Check out our closed-loop model for primate reaching trained with imitation learning. I'm particularly excited about the last figure where we show how M1 can *drive* this controller! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Amazing work led by @a_marinvargas.

🐻 reID of unmarked Grizzly's in Alaskan wilderness from single images is a daunting task, but in our new work out in @CurrentBiology that is exactly what Beth Rosenberg & Mu Zhou & @TrackingPlumes! 🔥 Check out the work - many years in the making...

I'm humbled to receive this award with @SuseWegener and @TrackingActions - thanks to all my students, collaborators and former supervisors that made this possible!
Let's keep pushing to better quantify behavior for health and beyond!

Earlier this year we got a new lab logo -- it illustrates the core questions we are interested in.
Measuring behavior, and linking it to the brain and body with a particular interest in muscles as well muscle spindles. We focus on proprioception, motor control & skill learning.

But is it physics? Hopfield tackled three profound questions about emergence: condensed matter from interactions between elementary particles, the magic of life from interactions between dead molecules, and intelligence/consciousness from interactions between dumb neurons.

A historic milestone for neuroscience! It's been a fantastic journey for the #FlyWire Consortium. This special edition of Nature showcases the power of open science, with nine papers that not only describe the fly connectome, but also make discoveries using it.
2 Oct 2024
Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!
