This isn’t a class. It’s a controlled descent into the madness of the nervous system. Bring caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines—whatever gets you through. Strap in. Keep your wits. And remember: in neuroscience as in Vegas, you can’t stop the wave—you can only learn to ride it.

Hot of the press!
We studied how the nervous system simplifies control of complex limb dynamics. Turns out, muscle activity during reaching is shaped by the gravitational & dynamic forces—and joint moments tell us a lot.

All jokes aside, I totally buy this. I often take even just a short break to get coffee and during that time reflect on the problem I'm stuck on. More often than not that totally changes my approach to solving it with success
This will be henceforth justifying my rampant procrastination
Meta-analysis (n=52 studies, 195 effect sizes) confirms the incubation effect: taking breaks away from a problem leads to more creative solutions (d=0.39)

We just open-sourced two large wrist electromyography (EMG) datasets - one towards typing without a keyboard and the other for predicting hand poses - with baselines.
We believe these will help advance research into making high bandwidth non-invasive neuromotor interfaces a reality!

In this study, we show that muscle activation appears to be managed by accounting for limb dynamics, not by simplifying control with muscle synergies.
