What better way to kick off the academic year than with a lab barbecue evening—filled with riveting conversations, amazing food, and an incredible group of people to share it with! 🔥🍖🎊

[Gerard Derosiere @GDerosiere]

More on reward, motor cortex, and motor learning!

Here is our latest article on BioRxiv, exploring how extrinsic rewards impact motor plasticity during skill learning: https://t.co/9DcJFNqJ1u

A collaboration with @GoldyYadv, @PTVassiliadis, @UPHUMMEL_EPFL and @DuqueLab!

It was a great pleasure to host @tsay_jonathan at the Coactions Lab. His presentation was titled with "Behavioral, Neuropsychological, and Computational Perspectives on Sensorimotor Learning", exploring the behavioral, neuropsychological, and computational dimensions

[Ronan Denyer @Ronan_Denyer]

Excited to announce I'm taking my talents to Brussels 🇧🇪! I'll be starting a post doc with @DuqueLab next month investigating how the brain selects and prepares movement, thanks to a @UCLouvain_be Fonds Spécial de Recherche Mobility award!

[Prof. Matthew Apps @brain_apps]

A little sad to draw a close to Control Processes 2024. But thank you all for the fantastic science, discussions and company. Safe travels back home and look forward to the next one in the Bay area!

[David Badre @BadreLab]

@brain_apps @CoolsControl @OleJensenCHBH @smfleming @unibirmingham @EgnerLab @TheCHBH @KatjaKornysheva @UoB_SoP Thank you for organizing a great meeting, Matt!

[DuqueLab @DuqueLab]

Congratulations to Fanny Fievez, who successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “How urgency shapes motor behavior”. Her achievement is a testament to years of hard work, determination, and dedication. We wish all the best to Dr. Fievez for all her future endeavors. 👏

[DuqueLab @DuqueLab]

Our journal club had the pleasure of hosting @manisha_biswas_ from @socialintel_lab for an enlightening talk! Her captivating work sparked engaging discussions and insights. A big thank you to Manisha for sharing her expertise and time with us!

[Gerard Derosiere @GDerosiere]

Great PhD opportunity here!

[Pierre Vassiliadis @PTVassiliadis]

🍻Some personal news!

I have been awarded the 2024 Biaggi de Blasys award from @LndsNeuro for my joint @EPFL @Neuro_X_EPFL and @UCLouvain_be PhD on reinforcement motor learning with @UPHUMMEL_EPFL,@DuqueLab and @GDerosiere

Thank you so much!🤩

Master's student Manon Chauvaux successfully defended her thesis this month 🥳🎉
Her research involved studying the role of contralateral primary motor cortex in interlimb generalisation of newly learned motor skills.
We wish her success for future endeavours!

[DuqueLab @DuqueLab]

Prof. Pratik Mutha @pratik_mutha from @iitgn gave a very interesting talk in our lab meeting last week.
He presented some recent studies from his lab exploring the role of sensory prediction error and task prediction error in visuomotor learning in young healthy individuals.
