    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! Amazing work led by @a_marinvargas.

    RT @amathislab: 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.

    RT @SebastianSeung: 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.

    RT @SebastianSeung: 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.
    FlyWire @FlyWireNews
    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! Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today
