1. Very happy to share our work with Fred Crevecoeur focusing on how the motor nervous system produces sequential reaching. (1/11) We started with an age-old question about whether swift sequence execution is a cognitive or a motor skill biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And a second one ! 😊🥳 ➡️ Dissociable effects of urgency and evidence accumulation during reaching revealed by dynamic multisensory integration biorxiv.org/content/10.110… By Anne Hoffmann SensMoTion Lab

Are you a postdoc doing neuroscience? Have you not yet had an occasion to be invited to an external seminar? Do you want an opportunity to come to MIT to present your research and explain why it is exciting? Please apply!

New paper alert! "Fast grip force adaptation to friction relies on localized fingerpad strains" just out in Science Advances (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…) Check the #tweetprint 👇 below 👇

I am extremely happy to share our latest study: Evidence for interacting but decoupled controls of decisions and movements in non-human primates (biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ) carried out as part of my doctorate under the supervision of Actarus25 (David Thura). Here is its story ⬇️

Our latest paper that we are very excited about is out! "Online movements reflect ongoing deliberation." A tour de force effort by the outstanding Jan Calalo, with contributions from Mike Carter Isaac Kurtzer. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Circling is observed in many mouse vestibular disorder models but is often left unquantified. Our paper, led by Oliver Stanley @oliwhail, introduces a tool leveraging DeepLabCut 🦄 to automatically identify circling and facilitate behavioral quantification. nature.com/articles/s4159…

How do animals walk stably in the presence of intrinsic noise or external perturbations? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We currently lack a unified answer to this question across species with diverse embodiment. In this preprint, we provide evidence that legged species use a common

Do humans, mice and flies control their feet similarly when they walk? 🪰🐁🚶 We explored that question in our recent work with Nidhi Seethapathi by investigating large scale locomotion datasets.

Here’s our latest work at Guillaume Lajoie and Matt Perich's labs! Excited to see this out. We used a combination of neural recordings & modelling to show that RL yields neural dynamics closer to biology, with useful continual learning properties. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in working with me at the intersection of AI and sensorimotor rehabilitation? Reach out to me and apply for this postdoctoral fellowship: computing.mit.edu/tayebati-postd… Your work could build on this paper we just wrote (tweetstorm forthcoming): nature.com/articles/s4146…

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ The Welch Lab Royal Society Publishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Update on our similarity-repository 🚨 More than 200 similarity measures across 32 papers are now registered! We'll also be presenting our work as an oral at the NeurIPS Conference UniReps workshop!  (1/6)

We recently put forth a predictive theoretical model that captures locomotor adaptation phenomena in many different tasks and timescales. To learn more, follow me on @nidhise.bsky.social. I will be doing a deep dive into the paper in the next two days. nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/5 Thrilled to share our Perspective in Nature Communications! Collaborating with solaiman.shokur & Pierre Vassiliadis on this was such a rewarding experience. If you're into motor control and/or reward processing and/or neurotechnology, please take a look! Link: nature.com/articles/s4146…
