In his #sfn25 session @dacolon.bsky.social draws lessons from his winding path in science: 1) follow your curiosity, 2) there is not 1 blueprint for being a scientist: learn from the diversity of experiences of others, and (3) to find your path, pay attention to what sparks your interest

Excited to be at #SfN25! Come catch my poster “Neural dimensionality expands over the course of brain-computer interface learning” wed PM (W15) if you’re interested in non-invasive BCIs, neural manifolds, human learning, etc. Building upon our recent work (doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.29.646109)
Accelerated learning of a noninvasive human brain-computer interface via manifold geometry
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise to restore and enhance a wide range of human capabilities. However, a barrier to the adoption of BCIs is how long it can take users to learn to control them. W...

Will be presenting a poster on @apeyrache.bsky.social row, Tues AM, with an update our sequential predictive learning preprint:

-CA3-like (sparse lognormal) connectivity gives a hippocampus-like (orthogonalized) map

-non-spatial representation! splitters, lap/time cells, action plan…we got it all🤑
