I had a great time at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience Advanced Neurotechniques Course this week, teaching a mini2P module w/ Lin Tian, PhD, Jacob Roshgadol & J Kerr! It’s been a while since I’ve stayed up that late analyzing data šŸ˜… So impressed with our amazing students & the beautiful MPFI campus 🤩

Congratulations to MPFI scientist Dr. Yuji Nishiiki on receiving a JSPS fellowship to study how the brain refines movement. This funding supports his research into how learning shapes neural circuits across brain regions for precise movement timing and strength.
