Validation of the energetics of a Huxley muscle–tendon complex model using experimental data obtained from mouse soleus muscle: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

New pre-print! We attempt to survey the two different universes of motor learning research: basic (meetings like NCM, MLMC) and applied (e.g. NASPSA), and consider what these fields can learn from each other and what the future might look like if they can be better integrated. More in Eric's 🧵 👇

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.” City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design. I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

A very cool new finding from our lab! During a cooperative sensorimotor task, we show that involuntary visuomotor feedback responses reflect a representation of a partner. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by the extremely talented, Seth Sullivan

I'm seeking PhD students to work with my collaborators (Welber Marinovic, Jarrad Lum, Chris Latella) & I in gorgeous Western Australia. Please email me on [email protected] asap if you are interested (there's a rather short application window). intranet.ecu.edu.au/research/hig...

Neural space has very similar issues to the behavioural models in the 1990s (e.g., dimensionality reduction, dynamical systems theory/attractors), which are more observational than mechanistic.

Just finished a very detailed read. Fantastic paper! If you haven't read it yet, you should!

When we reach for an object, we adapt to unexpected dynamics and respond to disturbances. These two mechanisms work online, and when you perturb them at the right time, you can see interference... Full story ➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Well you seem to like the stats from London, so let's take a little look at what happened in some other cities that introduced 30 km/h speed limits... Brussels 🇧🇪 - road deaths ⬇️ 55% Paris 🇫🇷 - serious and fatal crashes ⬇️ 40% Zurich 🇨🇭 - road deaths ⬇️ 25%

Just finished our 3rd annual BRAIN Day for the grade 5 kids at West Park Place Elementary! Big thanks to Truc Ngo for organizing this year, as well as Fabrizio Sergi, Jennifer Semrau, Darcy Reisman, Jill Higginson, and all their great PhD students for making the day a success! #UDBME #UDPT #UDKAAP

Very happy to share my first preprint on proprioception and aging. Check it out! doi.org/10.1101/2025... A big thanks to @jjodx.bsky.social

Just spent an hour refining the title of our next submitted paper. Productive day so far!

After years of works, more than happy to see the first preprint of Stien Van De Plas on bioRXiv: Age-related changes in proprioception are of limited size, outcome-dependent and task-dependent www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #sensorimotor

7/7) As a final thought for funding, particularly for younger scientists, I am a strong advocate for the NSERC Discover Grant model: - Smaller grants, with high success rate (~50%) - Only one grant per lab - Young researchers do not have to hit the same bar as established researchers to be funded

For teaching, was at a conference and chatting about AI in courses. it is interesting how some faculty have gone all in when using AI (ChatGPT) for assignments, to others taking steps to avoid completely (oral exams). What do you do?

Indecisions are extremely common and can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Here we asked what gives rise to indecisive behaviour: journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1... A really nice set of experiments and modelling by the talented Seth Sullivan.

🧠What do random neural networks have in common with the motor cortex? Turns out, a lot! Both exhibit similar low‑dimensional dynamics across sensorimotor tasks.👇🧵

Excited to see this paper out. Fantastic work by @harikalidindi.bsky.social and @fredcrevecoeur.bsky.social !
