🪰 How do dozens of tiny fly muscles cooperate to move a leg? We’re excited to share the first 3D, data-driven musculoskeletal model of Drosophila legs based on Hill-type muscles, running in OpenSim and MuJoCo simulation environments. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2509.06426

Big life update: I’m super excited to be joining the Kempner Institute as a Research Fellow! If you’re curious about my research plans or just want to connect, please reach out! 😊

Please RT🙏 Reach out if you want to help understand cognition by modelling, analyzing and/or collect large scale intracortical data from 👩🐒🐁 We're a friendly, diverse group (n>25) w/ this terrace 😎 in the center of Paris! See👇 for + info about the lab We have funding to support your application!

📽️Recordings from our @cosynemeeting.bsky.social #COSYNE2025 workshop on “Agent-Based Models in Neuroscience: Complex Planning, Embodiment, and Beyond" are now online: neuro-agent-models.github.io 🧠🤖

Big showing from the Rajan Lab at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social! We have posters on everything from multi-agent social foraging to neuromodulated neural networks. Catch us in Poster Sessions 2 & 3 🧠🤖 #Cosyne2025 #NeuroAI #CompSci #neuroskyence

Only 4 days to go until our workshop!! 🪰🐁🤖 If you're at COSYNE, don't miss out on incredible talks and inspiring panel discussions at "Agent-Based Models in Neuroscience: Complex Planning, Embodiment, and Beyond" on March 31 :) Check out the latest schedule: neuro-agent-models.github.io

🚨 SUPER excited to announce our Cosyne workshop on Neuro Agents! 🤖🐁🪰🧠 We have an incredible lineup of speakers, check out the program! neuro-agent-models.github.io See you in Canada! 🇨🇦 #Cosyne #Cosyne2025 #NeuroAI

I wrote an introduction to RL for neuroscience last year that was just published in NBDT: tinyurl.com/5f58zdy3 This review aims to provide some intuition for and derivations of RL methods commonly used in systems neuroscience, ranging from TD learning through the SR to deep and distributional RL!

As you unwrap your holiday presents, consider how you coordinate your fingers and limbs. @gzmozd.bsky.social identified fly brain networks for body part coordination through experiments, biomechanical modeling, connectomics, and neural network simulations ! 🤖 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧵 Ever seen a fly perform a full self-care ritual? 🪰 They meticulously rub their head and clean their antennae, ensuring every speck of dirt is gone. But how do they coordinate all those tiny body parts so seamlessly?👇
