A 5-minute video summary of this preprint is now out on YouTube! youtu.be/fkPt9a5OvTs?si… Thanks Ruairidh Battleday and the rest of the #neuromonster crew for putting this together 🙌🏻 Pierre-Yves Oudeyer Anne Collins Cédric
I'm honored to be joining the Pew Biomedical Scholars community! Their support will help us as we develop new technologies to study the most challenging regions of the human genome. Congrats to the other awardees including Rogelio Hernández-López and James Nuñez! pewtrusts.org/en/about/news-…
Please check out our new preprint! We asked the question: Does the corticospinal pathway rely on neural computations commonly observed across sensory systems? Our data suggest yes it does! Maybe to separate figure from ground. w/ Corey Wadsley Chris Horton doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Our study on reward and effort signals in PFC theta and basal ganglia beta is now out in PNASNews! Big thanks to the team (esp Coralie de Hemptinne and Simon Little), reviewers, and patients. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Data: osf.io/jq6z4/ Code: github.com/hoycw/PRJ_OFC_…
I'm so excited to join such a wonderful, talented, and innovative team UC Davis Neurological Surgery. I look forward to all the exciting #Neuromodulation research we'll do together! Stay tuned!
Almost three years in the making, the preprint is out! We take another stab at the question: How do humans learn from reinforcement? (Spoiler alert: the answer is _not_ Reinforcement Learning). Huge thanks to the dream team: summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social Nathaniel Daw Kevin Miller
The most creative, intense, and rewarding project I’ve ever worked on! Now out Nature Medicine. Real-world blinded adaptive DBS halves time with motor symptoms and improves quality of life in Parkinson’s disease. With the amazing @scernera1 Lauren H Hammer Simon Little Philip
Excited to share a preprint of work done together with folks from UCSF (Simon Little), UC Berkeley, and U of Washington, using neural decoding and adaptive DBS to selectively amplify movement when intended and reduce dyskinesia when it isn't medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happy to share this preprint completed with Tanner Dixon and colleagues! Why try and smooth over and ignore movement in adaptive DBS when you can target it directly? All completed remotely in our patients home with a fully automated end-to-end programming pipeline…
🚨Super excited to announce that my first first-author paper with Robb Rutledge is now published in Nature Communications! 🎉 Surprising sounds systematically bias humans to take more risks.

Exploring the potential of neuromodulation for mental health 🔍 Thank you Neuro Central for the opportunity to share my perspective on how #BCI technology is shaping the future of serious mental illness and deepening our understanding of cognitive & behavioral health.
