The greatest books are never about their self-stated subject. “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” is about genius and hubris. Robert Caro’s LBJ biography is about power and politics. So is Daniel Yergin’s “The Prize”. Great books are always about the human condition.

Had an amazing time reconnecting with two lab alumni recently - Somesh Shingane (Somesh Shingane) and the twitterless Nishant Rao. It was a true joy hearing about their research journeys. So grateful for these lasting connections!

One of the reasons I love December is that it brings so many of our overseas alumni back to campus IIT Gandhinagar. The one and only Goldy Yadav visited us a few days ago. Was so much fun hanging out, reliving her PhD days in the lab and sharing laughs.

A determined immigrant left his country for India to start a new life created a brand that gave Indians a place to eat and meet during the British Raj, when many places didn't allow Indians to enter. This is the story of Dorabjee & Sons, one of Pune’s most loved restaurants. 1/12

Happy to share that our study “Interference underlies attenuation upon relearning in sensorimotor adaptation” is now out in SfN Journals #eNeuro! eneuro.org/content/12/6/E… Rich Ivry, Ivry Laboratories

The incredible, irresistible #BraiNDy is back. This time in picturesque city of love #udaipur. Register for some romance with generative models, Neurophysics and off course Brain Dynamics.. দীপাঞ্জন Dipanjan dipanjanr

Delighted to share our new work…

🚨It's published! 🚨Our results support highly-simplified-model "B", if you're wondering. The Somatosensory Cortex and Body Representation: Updating the Motor System during a Visuoproprioceptive Cue Conflict jneurosci.org/content/45/32/…

August 23rd is World Vada Pav day. I didn't get it (few yrs ago), but now, I absolutely LOVE it! It's more than a snack. It's a lifeline. Vada pavs are different & each stall is a story of grit, entrepreneurship, and so on. Please indulge me as I share my humble collection :D

Visarjan in Versova ❤️ Shooting in Madh yesterday. Took the jetty back to Versova and walked through the streets for about a kilometre. Ran into five Ganesh processions going through their neighbourhood. Men in coordinated T shirts. Ladies looking beautiful in coordinated Saaris.

The cerebellum isn’t just about coordinating movement. It’s implicated in nearly every domain of cognition—from language to social behavior. But how exactly does the cerebellum contribute to action and cognition? 🧵 Check out our new paper w/ Ivry Laboratories: arxiv.org/abs/2509.09818

Excite that our new review, "Motor Working Memory", is now in press at Trends in Cognitive Sciences! Cell Press. By me + Hanna Hillman We argue that a dedicated research program on a 'working memory for movements' is long overdue. *Gift Link*: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lmMX4sIRvW-…
