New position in NHP Visuomotor Neurophysiology York University !! Please come join me Kohitij Kar, Liya Ma, @jeff_schall, Doug Crawford, and other amazing folks in a truly supportive environment to work on NHP neuroscience VISTA @ YorkU webapps.yorku.ca/academichiring…

Our paper “The cortical connectome of primate lateral prefrontal cortex” is out Neuron. We examined LPFC organization with dense connectivity mapping. LPFC holds mm-scale maps that mirror major association cortices’ organization, via interconnectivity. #tweeprint 1/n

Ok, I have to say something. I’ve heard the argument many times that DEI efforts force us to “lower the bar” in order to be able to achieve diversity goals. This is always presented as being objectively logical (“it’s just numbers!”). Here’s why it’s wrong:

Congratulations! I add that this a real attempt at good science. Rishi et al published (“pre-registered”) the models long before physiology, unlike the common approach of doing things the other way around.

1/ How do humans and animals form models of their world? We find that Foundation Models for Embodied AI may provide a framework towards understanding our own “mental simulations”. 🧵👇 arxiv.org/abs/2305.11772 with awesome collaborators: Rishi Rajalingham Mehrdad Jazayeri Robert Yang

Thrilled to share this paper will be appearing in #NeurIPS2023 as a Spotlight! Camera ready & models coming shortly. See you at NeurIPS Conference :)

If you are lucky enough to be at #Cosyne24 #Cosyne2024, we'll have a poster on the science of these results tonight. Plus, we'll have a bunch of bands, so you can demo the tech yourself! 🤘🤓🤘 Poster info: 1-039 Scaling neural network training enables neuromotor interface

We are thrilled to present the first results from our new partnership with Meta. Dailyn Despradel is leading the project to use a wearable neuromotor interface for people with tetraplegia to use computers and play games. Please stop by 3-D-38 #NCMDub24 @cmuneurosci @CMU_Mech

CMU and Meta have announced a collaboration to make computer-based tasks more accessible. The project uses wearable technology to enable people with different motor abilities to perform everyday tasks and enjoy gaming in digital environments. cmu.is/Meta-Partnersh…

Very proud of the work of my team at Meta and the fantastic group at CMU! Seeing the first recordings of this project was definitely one of the highlights of my career.
