Annika is an excellent researcher! Read all about her summer undergrad research experience at UW in the Sam Burden (he/him) lab! ece.uw.edu/spotlight/cnt-…

Interested in pursuing a PhD in motor learning starting Fall '23? Please get in touch! See our lab website for details about current projects: sites.google.com/site/motrelab/ The deadline for our doctoral visitation program, which brings prospective students to campus, is Oct 7. Pls RT

Looking forward to sharing some work from my thesis at #SfN2022 San Diego next week. I'm presenting a poster at the Interlimb and Bimanual Control session on Wednesday. Stop by for a chat if you are attending!

Neural Control of Movement conference, get ready for a minor aolabs occupation - 7 abstracts submitted & accepted😂💪 Congrats, team! 🎉

Excited to share this emerging work at #cosyne2023. We (Pavithra Rajeswaran, A. Payeur, & Guillaume Lajoie) explore how decoding algorithms in BCI influence neural representations learned by the brain 👇 If you're there in person, be sure to check out poster 3-094 on Saturday.

The sensorimotor neural engineering lab at UC Berkeley (neuralengatberkeley.github.io) is getting ready for its opening in July! To help get going I’m looking to hire a research engineer to help build new behavioral setups, contribute to lab codebases, and data management.

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one. Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce. I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting. But this time, alone.

Seeking talented postdocs for our comp neuro lab University of WashingtonCSE. ML and dynamical systems for understanding and manipulating neural populations. BCIs, learning, multi-area communication, dendritic computation, and more. Close collabs with experimentalists across @UW and Allen Institute.

This talk by Katherine Perks aoLab starts explaining the problem of task performance link to internal models. And it has all the components I love: internal models of motor control + motor remapping + task performance + r/StardewValley = perfect

Predictions and models by Linxing Preston Jiang from Rajesh P. N. Rao lab. Interesting that his models also account for postdictions.

Excited to share a new perspective piece from the lab in Current Opinions in BME! If you're interested in co-adaptation of machine learning and user learning in motor neural interfaces, strongly suggest checking it out. doi.org/10.1016/j.cobm… Here's a quick run-down 🧵1/5

Extra! Extra! Read all about co-adaptation of user learning and adaptive algorithms in neural interfaces in our new review!

In case you missed it over the weekend: consider adding our new perspective piece on coadaptation in motor neural interfaces to your reading list!

Exciting new work from my colleagues Sam Burden (he/him) & L Ratliff arxiv.org/abs/2305.01124 They apply game theory to humans interacting w/ adaptive machines. Turns out machines can steer the game to influence people's behavior. And this doesn't require the machine to model the human🤯

Huge congrats to our rockstar undergrad team member Sasha for both his upcoming graduation and for landing a research associate gig at the Allen Institute! 🎉🍾

Day 3 of the UW Postdoc and RSE strike ✊ science.org/content/articl…

New preprint; time for a #tweeprint! When we learn a new skill like riding a bike, we often use training wheels to help us. Does that influence what we learn? Pavithra Rajeswaran, Alex Payeur, Guillaume Lajoie and I used BCIs & RNN models to find out. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/too many😅

New preprint where we explore using eye data as a training signal for adaptive myoelectric interfaces. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The gist: gaze data could let algorithms adapt in less structured tasks by giving a proxy for what users are trying to do. More of a breakdown soon!

New preprint, so #tweeprint time: Humans and machines dynamically interact in neural interfaces. Can we analyze & predict these interactions? We solve this w/ an interdisciplinary approach led by Maneeshika Madduri as part of a close collab with Sam Burden (he/him) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So thrilled to watch Maneeshika's PhD defense, today. Congratulations on this amazing achievement, Dr. Madduri! Maneeshika Madduri 🎉
