When we touch a surface, we do not just passively receive information, we actively shape the interaction. In our new preprint, we investigated how forces, vibrations, and movements during active exploration of a texture relate to its perceived hardness, slipperiness, and roughness.

Extremely excited to share our preprint describing the framework for quantifying the mechanics of dexterous grasp. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our new preprint about the neural signals underlying finger and wrist movements. Alexandriya Emonds did a great job, check it out! doi.org/10.64898/202... Liza Okorokova, @garyhwbl.bsky.social, @jenpitt.bsky.social, Sliman Bensmaia, @leeemiller.bsky.social, @johndowney.bsky.social

Check out our new paper led by @oliviercodol.bsky.social ! We use RNNs to explore possible learning rules that lead to the dynamics we see in brains during behavior. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence #compneurosky #neuroai

Brain-like neural dynamics for behavioral control develop through reinforcement learning

During development, neural circuits are shaped continuously as we learn to control our bodies. The ultimate goal of this process is to produce neural dynamics that enable the rich repertoire of behavi...

Here’s our latest work at @glajoie.bsky.social and @mattperich.bsky.social ‘s labs! Excited to see this out. We used a combination of neural recordings & modelling to show that RL yields neural dynamics closer to biology, with useful continual learning properties. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This wouldn’t have happened without the massive efforts by co-first authors @oliviercodol.bsky.social & (the bluesky-less) Margaux Asclipe, and our amazing collaborators (especially @juangallego.bsky.social @dudman.bsky.social @ansobinov.bsky.social @glajoie.bsky.social). 2/18

New paper out in Nature Communications about how object identity information evolves across sensorimotor cortex through grasp — and I am really happy with how it turned out. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
