An argument for embracing the coming wave of neurotechnology: Neural augmentation can enhance and amplify our humanity without threatening our identity. After all, it worked for the Borg. scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

The output Softmax should be interpreted as "the amount of class-N-iness" the input has, not the input's "probability of belonging to class N". scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

#BCI world, we made a new decoder that works *really* well. It picks a velocity off a short menu instead of allowing any possible 2D vel. 93% vs 39% success in our model and 61% vs 37% in NHP iBCI for cursor control. Does it work for your #BCI? Paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

The HELP committee staffers are actually really nice (or at least they claimed they were happy to pass on my concerns to the committee). They are saying their committee did not authorize or approve the NIH move, fwiw.

Concerned about the devastating effect of the cut to NIH indirect costs (from >60% at many to 15% for all) on US biomedical research that takes effect tomorrow? Phone the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), Chaired by Senator Bill Cassidy TOMORROW morning at 202-224-6770.

We are very excited to announce the open release of a new 170 participant dataset: Linked MEG, TMS, multimodal 3T MRI, 7T MRI, Connectom MRI, cognitive /questionnaire data. Immense effort from a fabulous CUBRIC team. Paper by Carolyn McNabb et al: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Many science SM posts are about new grants and papers, which makes it hard to get a realistic sense picture of what its like applying for grants. To help, especially for #newPI, I am sharing a complete record of grant submissions. Full details on the blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

New user question: Is there a way I can see posts/reposts from all my favorite scientists that are about their science, but not see their posts about their politics? Or is it a package deal?

Insightful take on why building good, predictive models of systems-physiology is so tough. I can't help but point out that these same problems exist for baby models, not just monster ones, and that some of the problem comes from dubious modules... scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

Stitching component models into system models has proven difficult in biology. But how much easier has it been in engineering? www.argmin.net/p/monster-mo...

Have you you ever had an incomplete (ODE) model of your favorite system but can't complete it because your system has some lurking states you can't record? We have a method to accurately infer the missing state *and* build a neural ODE for its equation! It's at AAAI 2025: arxiv.org/abs/2412.08681

Learning Physics Informed Neural ODEs With Partial Measurements

Learning dynamics governing physical and spatiotemporal processes is a challenging problem, especially in scenarios where states are partially measured. In this work, we tackle the problem of learning...

arxiv.org

We came up with a way to train a mix of biophysical ODEs and ANNs. The ANNs are full citizens - totally embedded in the system and numerically integrated. This is big for systems phys, where we want to simulate but lack all the eqns. tl;dr on the blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

The lab is looking for 2 postdocs to contribute creative juices to many ongoing collaborative NIH/NSF projects. We've got diverse interests, so motor control, comp neuro, rodent ephys, neurourology, human behavior all welcome. Ads here: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/opp...

Hello world. Joining the crowd here to link up with neuroscience folks in motor learning, BCI, neurourology, and computational neuroscience. Blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/dan...
