🚨Job alert🚨

The lab has up to *3 postdoc openings* for comp systems neuroscientists interested in describing and manipulating neural population dynamics mediating behaviour

This is part of a collaborative ARIA grant "4D precision control of cortical dynamics"

euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/383909

🚨Big news!🚨
The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research.

I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

🚨 New preprint + thread 🧵
We've gone back to studying motoneuron control principles and their applications & here's paper #1:

A proof-of-concept study showing that people with tetraplegic spinal cord injury can control up to 2DoF from a single intramuscular implant

🚨 Upcoming postdoc openings 🚨

We will soon be hiring postdocs to work on neural data analysis & modelling in the context of a recently awarded ARIA grant aimed at "precision control" of neural population dynamics (w. collabs. across the UK)

Reach out if interested!

🚨New paper🚨

Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently.

Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

Job Alert (please repost)!

We are looking to hire a Research Assistant to join us in an exciting project looking into Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and how brains learn to control them.

(1/11) Today I preprinted a lot of work from my postdoc with @dudman.bsky.social, which started with a question of how the nervous system balances flexibility with efficiency of learning. The thread below gives some background....

🎉Amazing news🎉
Thrilled that I got a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award @wellcometrust.bsky.social
It's going to be amazing!
Over the next 5 years, I will look into how brains learn to control Brain-Computer Interfaces and how we can use this knowledge to further improve BCI performance 1/2

One more week, one more superlist.
Really happy to see @jgmaz.bsky.social's paper with Jason Keller, @dudman.bsky.social et moi in there. It came out while the other place was going downhill, so we didn't share it

(as always thanks to the Western sensorimotor superlab for this great service)

BCIs list! Still finding folks on here so please message me if you'd like to be added.

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons!

Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭

The brain as a *heterarchy*!
Wonderful and stimulating paper by Gmaz et al.

Since this is getting busier, here's the #sensorimotor starter pack again go.bsky.app/U4oyFgw

There's still room to add more people, so ask to be added if not on the list

Here are some folks on the translational side of neurotech!

Founders, engineers, translational labs, and investors.

Please message me for folks I should add!
