if you are interested in computational models of spinal circuits, neurostimulation, spinal anatomy and high-definition imaging contact me or Elvira Pirondini in DM, we're looking for Post-Docs and Research Assistants at University of Pittsburgh RNEL #PostDocs #neuroscience

Rolling out some new work. We think these results will be foundational for understanding the functional roles specific to each hemisphere of the motor cortex. See my tweet-storm below to see why we’re excited about it! (and check out the paper for details)

Can lab-grown brains become conscious? nature.com/articles/d4158…

Pre-registered, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (n=62) by Jonker et al finds no effect of anodal #tDCS on motor cortical excitability and no evidence for responders brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Trust in science is important for vaccine confidence. A study in Nature Human Behaviour finds that confidence in vaccination is higher in countries where people agree that scientists are trustworthy. go.nature.com/2RlORys

Altra ottima evidenza 💪💪💪

All the specs we know so far about Elon Musk's Tesla Bot, which remains to be seen ahead of a prototype planned for next year. cnet.co/3k81l6T

Hear ye hear ye. BEHEMOTH review on cortically controlled Brain Machine Interfaces, written with Chethan Pandarinath, out today in Physiological Reviews. (Hopefully) good primer for newbies to the field or useful reference for aficionados. Check it! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Check out the conversation between Boz and Reardon about EMG-based neural interfaces. Then come help us research and build it! (Electromyography - EMG - measures a muscle's response through its electrical activity)

1/3 In 2020, I took an exciting leap to join NextSense, as a founding member. We were in stealth mode until last December; I am happy to finally be able to share what we’ve been working on. 🧠🦻

Brain-computer interface (BCI) 2021 year in review 🧵 2021 was a big year! We saw an intracortical BCI decode handwriting, the 1st country to pass a bill on neuro-rights, & much more Below we cover the most exciting BCI updates across academia, industry, & public policy

I am happy to advertise one of the many job openings at NextSense. Twitter family, help me find a talented Research Scientist / Neuroscientist who wants to join our mission to establish new ways of diagnosing and optimizing therapy for diverse neurological conditions.

Our EMG neuromotor interface team from Reality Labs at Meta is thrilled to sponsor CosyneMeeting . All attendees pls join us for a professional development panel discussion + reception to meet our scientists attending. We are hiring! #cosyne22

Did you have fun with the NeurIPS2019: Learn to Move competition? Do you miss controlling a musculoskeletal system in a simulation? Introducing the @Myochallenge2022, an official challenge at #NeurIPS2022!

Great overview on some of the exciting tech we are working on at Reality Labs!

1/7 For the past decade, our team at Meta Reality Labs (previously CTRL-labs) has been dedicated to developing a neuromotor interface. Our goal is to address the Human Computer Interaction challenge of providing effortless, intuitive, and efficient input to computers.

We're hiring! Join Meta Reality Lab's EMG Wristband foundational research team! ⚡️ We're seeking research scientists with systems neuro/ML/AI/BCI/EE backgrounds, with skills on a spectrum from modeling to experimental expertise, as well as generalists who excel in both areas.
