@carobellum kicking off #GRCCerebellum - 2025!

Heading to #cosyne2025 ? We're presenting new data exploring the geometry of neural dynamics in M1, PMd, PFC, SMA, and GPi during reaching movements with varying start locations, directions, and extents. Find me at Poster Session 3-091 — or anytime before or after!

Now published in The Journal of Neuroscience! @SfNJournals jneurosci.org/content/45/3/e… With @_mshahbazi and @DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab

Excited to share my latest work with @DiedrichsenJorn and @andpru. In this work, we ask whether motor sequence learning is motoric at all! Check out the 🧵version of the abstract: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Join us for the 2025 Cerebellum GRS! We will start accepting applications for GRS Cerebellum from Dec 19 until all 70 spots fill up - so don't wait too long. Remember you can change your abstract until March. Apply here: grc.org/cerebellum-grs… @linda_h_kim #Cerebellum

#JNeurosci | @GiacomoAriani, @_mshahbazi, and @diedrichsenlab discovered that cortical brain regions engaged during the planning and initiation of movements remained engaged throughout movement sequence performance. This suggests that planning and execution of movement are intricately connected in the brain. @WesternU doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

The Diedrichsen Lab is now accepting applications for MSc/PhD positions starting Fall 2025. If you’re interested in the human motor system and/or cerebellum with a focus on motor control, learning, and cognition, apply by Dec 15! Application instructions: diedrichsenlab.org

Clarivate's rationale does not hold water, as any paper that would be rejected from a traditional journal would receive and “inadequate” rating at eLife. Clarivate could easily filter those papers.

This is the system that we have tried to move towards to for the last 2 years at @eLife: diedrichsenlab.org/BrainDataScien…

Clarivate, the company behind Web Of Science (and publisher of journal Impact Factors) is trying to use their market power to protect the traditional publishing model. science.org/content/articl…

Two faculty positions in CS department @WesternU. Please apply for this opportunity by Oct 31:

Our atlas is now out in @NatureComms! Thank you to our reviewers whose insightful comments helped sharpen our argument. I might have had too much fun with the 33-page response - glad it lives alongside the paper. rdcu.be/dViIJ

When you watch someone else learn a behavior, how well do you learn it yourself? How well do you retain what you've learned from your observations? New work from @paulgribble provides the answers. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

There's still time to apply to join Prof Tamar Makin's team at MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge! We are seeking a new Research Assistant. Ideal candidates have research experience & relevant degrees. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47969/

When you perform a sequence of actions, you are always dual-tasking: You produce a movement and at the same time plan future ones. Check out @mehrdadkashefi's new paper (with @andpru). Thanks to @raeedcho for an excellent insight! elifesciences.org/articles/101739

Huge congrats to @carobellum, who was awarded a Wellcome Early Career award and who will return to Oxford next summer! win.uwo.ca/news/2024/dr_c… @VPRWesternU
