Lucky it is only February !! 😆

Feedback control of random networks as a model of flexible motor cortical dynamics across tasks Kalidindi and Crevecoeur develop a computational framework linking feedback-controlled networks to limb dynamics. They demonstrate that optimal control of fixed network reproduces key motor cortical d...

The computational approach developed here could be a powerful mean to assess goal-directed changes in gait control in clinical populations... (stay tuned ! 😉 )

Here we show how these changes in control strategy are modulated by auditory inputs and how they can be simulated in theory: the model suggests that the change is really fast (1 stride?) but the consequence is only visible after long stride series...

When we walk spontaneously or follow a metronome, we modulate the gait control strategy in a way that is not directly visible from pace and variability, instead it is the autocorrelation function that changes over long timescales

Measured and modelled transitions between self-paced walking and synchronization with rhythmic auditory cues Constraining gait rhythm with a metronome has been shown to influence gait pattern in many different ways. While rhythmic cues can improve several parameters in some clinical populations, they do alte...

You must come for a sabbatical in Europe 😜

In Munich for the 2nd European Motor Control Conference, many thanks to the organisers !

Interference between flexible and adaptive reaching control Humans rapidly update the control of an ongoing movement following changes in contextual parameters. This involves adjusting the controller to exploit redundancy in the movement goal, such as when rea...

When we reach for an object, we adapt to unexpected dynamics and respond to disturbances. These two mechanisms work online, and when you perturb them at the right time, you can see interference...

In Maastricht for @ispgr.bsky.social, come check our work this afternoon ! P02-M-100 by Clémence Vandamme

Lab outing, science food and drinks :) Group pic credit @delhayeben.bsky.social & Bouillon castle

This simple model (1) explains a lot of data, (2) makes direct prediction about population activity and low dimensional factors for any task and (3) provides a conceptual framework linking neural population activity and sensorimotor control...

Cosyne 2025 - Opening Remarks and Keynote - Max Bennett YouTube video by Cosyne Talks

Here is the effect (or suppression of effect) of the double blind review process on reputation biases: www.youtube.com/live/wIf087q...

Opening remarks @cosyne@confmaster.net

Amazing #cosyne25 @cosynemeeting.bsky.social Lots of feedback, tons of idea, wonderful exchanges !! @harikalidindi.bsky.social

In Delaware for lab visit and talk with Josh Cashaback. Wonderful time, lots if science going on here ! Random pick 👇

The program for the next COSYNE meeting looks beyond awesome, very much looking forward to it !
➡️ www.cosyne.org/main-meeting @cosynemeeting.bsky.social

Announcing a new week-long program for young computational neuroscience/ behavior professors to talk about rigorous science, mentoring, lab management, and networking in a stunning retreat setting. Do great science as a community and have fun doing so.

How young is young? 😆

Congrats to @ncmsociety.bsky.social for implementing the double-blind review of panels, I think the benefit is visible !! #NCMPan25

Amazing program and lineup !! 👇
