We tested the intentional hypothesis in PFC using population ephys and a flexible decision making task. Out today in Nature Neuro! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/…

Grid cells have a geometry in time! Left-right-alternating theta sweeps in the entorhinal-hippocampal spatial map. 🧹 European Research Council (ERC) #KiloNeurons. Creds to Abraham Zelalem Vollan & Rich Gardner at Kavli Neuroscience. May-Britt Moser 🧵1/8 👉 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

At FENS this year? Poster #PS01-26AM-004 (WED) Presenting my work on remapping of neural populations across the HPC-EC circuit using data from 3 simultaneously-recorded Neuropixels 2.0 probes (CA1-MEC/PaS-Sub) in freely moving rats exploring 5 different rooms over 12 hours!

Looking forward to a STELLAR #OptoGRC2024 session on interpreting neural manipulations 🧠 🌟 Featuring speakers Daniel O'Shea, Jim Heys, Bing Wen Brunton, Amit Vinograd & Gabriel Loewinger and led by Dmitry Rinberg We can't wait to hear from this incredible line-up!

I’m excited to share my first preprint, with John widloski and David Foster! We find that self-avoidance dominates the selection of hippocampal replay. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #tweeprint below!

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9

We knew that memories are consolidated during sleep, supported by the synchronous reactivation of waking neural patterns. But how is this process counterbalanced to preserve network stability? We discovered a novel circuit mechanism that could play this role.

Wanna intern at CTRL (Meta Reality Labs) and learn about neuromotor interfaces? Applications are now being accepted for summer of 2025. Come work with us! 😊 Research Scientist Intern, Neuromotor Interfaces: Computational Modeling (PhD) metacareers.com/jobs/841465694… Research

Come this afternoon to our posters to see how pupil dynamics organize memory replay, how the hipp balances reactivation and homeostasis, how hipp-cortical interactions evolve during learning, and the neural mechanisms of foraging and territory formation in natural enviroments

How can we train a BCI to produce precise hand movements? Our paper published today in Neuron provides one possibility! We show that the abundant hand posture-related information in the grasping circuit can be used for precise grasp control. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Happy to share the lab’s latest research tagging psychedelic-activated neurons in mice. See the post below from first author Jessie Muir for a tweeprint on the work. Thanks to wonderful collaborators Olson Lab Lin Tian, PhD and to our reviewers/editor! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are accepting applications for speakers from Native American trainees - if you know of someone who would be a good fit, encourage them to apply here: forms.gle/dMUtGWvigrNAnJ… PS: We have travel funds available! Plz share! More info in the thread.

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with Andrew Pruszynski – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

Looking to start off the new year with a bang? How about a postdoc position in intracortical BCIs to restore speech, as part of the BrainGate Team clinical trial? Come join us!! snel.ai/positions/spee…

Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C

1/N How do neural dynamics in motor cortex interact with those in subcortical networks to flexibly control movement? I’m beyond thrilled to share our work on this problem, led by Eric Kirk Eric Kirk with help from Kangjia Cai! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Out today in nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️ My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?
