Thrilled about our latest paper published in eLife where we found something cool: A representation of your partner's goals and actions modulates your own "intelligent reflexes", prior to voluntary movement. Led by the phenomenal, Seth Sullivan. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

@timgill924 you just stole that jacket from my 2004 closet

Nice paper: Infinite horizon control captures modulation of movement duration in reaching movements: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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/10.110… Led by the extremely talented, @SethSullivan_

We are excited to share our new paper that dives into how ongoing decision deliberation reflects ongoing movements: (jneurosci.org/content/45/31/…)/ A tour-de-force by the incredible @Jan_Calalo

This project was a lot of fun to work on with a great team, including @Jan_Calalo, Truc Ngo, @SethSullivan_ @BuggelnJohn, @RakLokesh, Adam Roth, Mike Carter, @NEneeSW, @JCashaback

Finally, we were also able to provide an alternative interpretation of previous reaching behaviour in the literature by using our decision-making and movement model.

bioRxiv has a dedicated section for negative results. Use it. Share negative results. Your colleagues will appreciate it.

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.

Nice paper, by Jeremy Wong. Energy and time trade-offs explain everyday human reaching movements: biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…

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