Sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits Nature - Experiments with human volunteers and macaques show that expectations produced by probabilistic cueing of future sensory inputs shape motor circuit dynamics in order to increase the...

Congrats! Fascinating results!

Human hippocampal ripples align new experiences with a grid-like schema Xiao et al. show that brief bursts of hippocampal activity (ripples) help the brain link new experiences into an internal “mental map.” During rest, ripples engage a medial frontal brain region that o...

How does the human brain process the continuous world around us and transform it into distinct memories? Our latest research, recently published in Science Advances @science.org, uncovers how brain waves called high frequency oscillations (HFOs) may support this amazing feat! (1/n)

Grateful and honored to receive the BWF Career Award at the Scientific Interface (CASI)! Also great to see two of my JCC fellows, @juliarurogers.bsky.social and @shiyuxia.bsky.social, on the list. Congrats to all the new awardees!

What's so special about the human brain? Torrents of data from cell atlases, brain organoids and other methods are finally delivering answers to an age-old question.

Tracking single neurons in the human brain reveals new insight into language and other human-specific functions Better technologies to stably monitor cell populations over long periods of time make it possible to study neural coding and dynamics in the human brain.

In the newest essay in our Frontiers in Human Neurotechnologies series, Edward Chang and Jason Chung describe how new recording technology offers new insight into the neural coding of speech.
