Brain, Learning, Animation, & Movement Lab: studying motor control, motor recovery, aesthetics of action, the cognitive-motor interface, & philosophy of science
🚨New preprint!
Using spinal cord stimulation, we demonstrate that non-monosynaptic corticospinal tract (CST) projections can be leveraged to enable dexterous recovery post-stroke, regardless of MEP status (a traditional measure of CST integrity).

SFI President David Krakauer joins The Generalist Podcast to talk about intelligence, the influence of AI on human thinking, and how to preserve creativity and understanding in a rapidly changing information landscape.

"Moderate-high intensity aerobic or low-intensity flexibility exercise for 12 months in participants with aMCI may provide protection against decline relative to usual care" https://t.co/oOiRMrDG1h
In the cerebellum, neurons are placed in competition with one another, nulling the downstream effects of each other's spikes, in a well-organized subtractive process that produces a fast changing, precise output from a collection of slow, noisy neurons.
The internet has been progressively diluted with AI-generated slop. Are medical records headed for the same fate?
🧵 I just published a perspective in @NEJM with @AdamRodmanMD and Arjun Manrai on why rushing AI into medical documentation could be a mistake.
So many people confuse LLMs (or genAI, in general) for models of human cognition, language, learning, etc., so I thought it may be useful to share once more my brief comment, titled "Psychological models and their distractors". (open access link: https://t.co/U2T6Vsgl8H) 🧵
“The knowledge from this project could lead to new treatment approaches down the road for improving stroke recovery.”
Neuroscience research led by @UNC_SOM faculty @AdamHantman and @ShihYYI, along with @blamlab John W. Krakauer at @HopkinsMedicine, has the potential to improve outcomes for people with brain damage thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation: https://t.co/JM0ulQxECn

A recent study examining the kinematics of 3D arm movements in individuals in the sub-acute phase after #stroke found that both weakness and synergy intrusion contribute to motor deficits during the sub-acute period. https://t.co/UWVfaSi4aQ

We just released @fchollet keynote talk from #AGI24. He challenges LLM hype, discusses ARC-AGI benchmark, and proposes merging deep learning with program synthesis for true AGI progress.
