New preprint! We show that people with tetraplegic spinal cord injury can use their residual motor unit activity to achieve up to three dimensional control using non-invasive high-density surface EMG With my co-first authors Xingchen Yang and Ciara Gibbs www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/13

This underestimates the problem because of the cost to science as a whole by distorting research priorities and encouraging fraud. We're well past this point. Also this is published in Nature so let's note in passing their role in sustaining this system to generate profit.

Congrats @juangallego.bsky.social! Amazing news! Looking forward to the science coming from the new lab!

concise and informative review article on corticostriatal pathways in sensory process by @giladsilberberg.bsky.social et al . I find myself looking into it frequently and learn/cross check a new thing every time : www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great threads on why and how using LLMs to review papers will make peer review worse.

🚨Job alert🚨 The lab has up to *3 postdoc openings* for comp systems neuroscientists interested in describing and manipulating neural population dynamics mediating behaviour This is part of a collaborative ARIA grant "4D precision control of cortical dynamics" euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/383909

www.bbc.com/news/article... science ftw! Amazing work described here.

Excited to be at the Congress of the Italian society for neuroscience #SINS2025 in this magnificent theatre! Pisa, Teatro Verdi

🚨 I’m excited to say that my CIHR Project Grant was funded! My NHP lab is now full-speed-ahead, and I’m hiring experimentalists (postdoc, PhD student, and/or a tech/manager). We’ll do multi-region ephys during reaching/grasping in macaques, with behavioral and spinal perturbations.

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience! Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia. Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

Wow... I'd never seen an AI summary this bad

This never gets old, exciting every old...

Having a hard time processing this. HHMI is pausing all competitions. Very demoralizing for early career scientists like me @hhmi.org

Job Alert (please repost)! We are looking to hire a Research Assistant to join us in an exciting project looking into Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and how brains learn to control them.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

I was planning on going to SfN this year, for the first time, and I was really looking forward to it too. But over the past few weeks I decided not to go. I'm sad and happy about this at the same time 🤷

I'm looking for a public dataset of young+older people doing a simple perceptual decision-making task, with sufficient trial + subject numbers. Ideally, multiple stimulus difficulty levels but no manipulations (conditions, task switching etc). This must exist - tips for where to look? 🧒👨‍🦳🧠

A great read from @neuralreckoning.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/policy/scien...

A very timely read: academic.oup.com/brain/articl... I'm sure many have similar stories, here's mine: Imperial has a contractor for travel bookings. It is often more $$ than booking online, takes much longer to go through the process and is much less flexible (location, sharing w/ colleagues).

🎉Amazing news🎉 Thrilled that I got a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award @wellcometrust.bsky.social It's going to be amazing! Over the next 5 years, I will look into how brains learn to control Brain-Computer Interfaces and how we can use this knowledge to further improve BCI performance 1/2

A very good list of you're a neuroscientist migrating from Twitter

This is my "Hello World!" post and I can't think of a better thing to say than sharing this thread. Hello World!
