Question: How does #aging impact #motor #learning?

Answer: Aging enhances implicit learning, but reduces explicit motor learning.

Amazing work led by Elizabeth Cisneros!

The world's energy problem 👇

Our goal in the next few decades is to get as many countries in the green rectangle as possible. Let's do it.

Excited to launch Ouvrai (#NCMVic23 poster Tues)! Open-source platform for remote behavioral research: VR, PCs & mobiles. Example of 3D visuomotor generalization from 10 remote VR users collected in <2 hrs! Get started/demos @ https://t.co/OM3dCZqg07 Hand tracking too! #Ouvrai

Galactica is basically GPT-3 for science. It can write whitepapers, reviews, wikipedia pages and code. It knows how to cite and how to write equations. It's kind of big deal 1/ 🧵

Many imagine that a move towards more plant-based diets requires *more* cropland.

This is not true.

We would free up land used to grow crops for animal feed.

Just half of the world's cereals go directly to food for humans.

US fossil CO₂ emissions peaked around 2007, & have since declined ~20% whilst GDP has grown >20%.

Why is this?

This paper shows some of our research at Meta Reality Labs in reconstructing a user's pose from only the sensors of the Quest headset using Reinforcement Learning.

More and more countries achieve to decouple economic growth from CO₂ emissions.

Just made this new chart that shows the evidence for 25 countries. Growth is up, emissions down.

This is absolutely wild. The movement of the blue and white stripes never changes.

2021 saw the breakthrough of digital twins--virtual replicas of physical objects or environments--in manufacturing, medicine and more. I covered their rise in my latest newsletter https://t.co/YqGySYRUrC

I had no idea that omicron (o-micron) is the little sibling of Omega (O-mega).
I'm hoping that its damage is also little.

Wonderful to see our COIN model of motor repertoire learning published. Great work by James Heald @HealdJbh40 in collaboration with Máté Lengyel.

Surprising potential application of prediction errors: reduce misinformation

[Jonathan Sanching Tsay @tsay.bsky.social @tsay_jonathan]

Is implicit motor adaptation (i.e., error-based motor learning) affected by Parkinson's disease? No!

In two studies + review of the literature, we did not find a difference in implicit adaptation between PD and their matched controls.

What determines how much the brain learns from error? Is there a way to robustly alter learning rates? Here, we used ideas from machine learning to vary how much the brain was willing to learn from error during a motor task.

I'm not going to say that it is impossible to cut carbon dioxide emissions fast enough to keep to a 1.5 °C limit...

But, in ski terms, those slopes probably deserve a double black diamond rating for difficulty.

Climate out of control? Of course, and don't forget pandemics in the list. Time for action!

Ja. Aber viele große Katastrophen können noch verhindert werden. Sobald der politische Wille da ist. #FightFor1Point5
