👩‍🎓In academic year 2024/2025, many Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience teams will be looking for Master interns. ➡️Check out some of our offers here: neuropsi.cnrs.fr/en/internships/

🧠🖥️Are you a neuroscientist/engineer? Dreaming of brain-machine interface (BMI)? ▶️We have a PhD position open! emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Doctora… ▶️Take advantage of our unique imaging and engineering methods to discover optimal BMI feedback strategies!

▶️We have developed a miniature mouse forelimb neuroprosthesis. ▶️This PhD project will be key to design the structure of the cortical feedback pattern that will be used to provide the subject with touch and proprioceptive information from the prosthesis. ▶️Apply!

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

The 2024 Joint NeuroPSI-TCCI Mtg explored diff facets of neuroengineering at the interface btwn electronics, robotics, & cell. biology, and showed their potential to repair sensorimotor & mental health deficits. Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience Watch the recordings: bit.ly/3WQqNkZ

Yesterday, Dr. Zineb Hayatou carried an amazing defense of her work on limb embodiment in the mouse model! Congratulations, and many thanks to jury: F. de Vignemont (philosophy), A. François (physiology of touch), N. George (physiology of perception), N. Jarrassé (robotics).

How does sensorimotor (S1/M1) cortex support adaptive motor control?  Come find out in our latest preprint, which spans the development of a full adult forelimb model + physics simulations, neural-modeling for control, complex 🐭behavior 🕹️, large-scale imaging, and of course

IT Neuro is at #SfN24! Don't forget to visit us at the booth 1832 if you'd like to find out more about #neuroscience in France!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac. Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute. Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond.
