Neural reverse engineer. Research scientist at Meta Reality Labs. Adjunct prof at Stanford. Prev: Google Brain, Stanford postdoc. Milton Hershey Alum.
We're hiring! Join Meta Reality Lab's EMG Wristband foundational research team! ⚡️ We're seeking research scientists with systems neuro/ML/AI/BCI/EE backgrounds, with skills on a spectrum from modeling to experimental expertise, as well as generalists who excel in both areas.…
How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask @evadyer and Blake Richards @tyrell_turing in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series. thetransmitter.org/neuroai/accept…
1/ We just open-sourced two large wrist electromyography (EMG) datasets - one towards typing without a keyboard and the other for predicting hand poses - with baselines. We believe these will help advance research into making high bandwidth non-invasive neuromotor interfaces a…
Data and code to make contact with our offline decoding results (at 100 users in x-axis of scaling curves)! github.com/facebookresear…
We’re thrilled to see our advanced ML models and EMG hardware — that transform neural signals controlling muscles at the wrist into commands that seamlessly drive computer interactions — appearing in the latest edition of @Nature. Read the story: nature.com/articles/s4158… Find…

Imagine controlling your devices with a subtle hand or finger gesture. Our cutting-edge research turns intent and muscle signals into seamless computer control. This breakthrough wrist technology is redefining how we interact with computers—intuitive, precise, and ready for the…
I'm deeply touched to read @marinopagan's reflection on our 2013 contextual decision-making study in The Transmitter. Knowing that our work has influenced others' scientific journeys is both humbling and inspiring. 🙏
In our latest edition of “This paper changed my life,” @marinopagan reflects on a seminal paper that revealed the complexity of neural population dynamics and the power of recurrent neural networks. thetransmitter.org/this-paper-cha…
This is such a mistake - these alternative ways of testing aren't good enough "models" to evaluate new drugs. People will suffer and die because of this. I never thought that I wouldn't be able rely on the US FDA for safety and effectiveness. What a sad era ...
Today, the FDA is taking a groundbreaking step to advance public health by replacing animal testing in the development of monoclonal antibody therapies and other drugs with more effective, human-relevant methods. fda.gov/news-events/pr…
Feeling pressure to work more than 5 days per week? Don’t. I’ve been super productive all my life and I never worked on the weekend unless I was excited about something. I don’t regret a single day of vacation. Quite the opposite. Life is too short. Don’t let CEO talk and…

Did you know that you can parallelize *nonlinear* RNNs over their sequence length!? Our @NeurIPSConf paper "Towards Scalable and Stable Parallelization of nonlinear RNNs," which introduces quasi-DEER and ELK to parallelize ever larger and richer dynamical systems! 🧵 [1/11]
If you want to do a postdoc w me (or generally do theory at Allen/UW) apply for this! It’s a pretty independent postdoc position for people with a quantitative background, and pays well (104K)! Due date is Dec 16th. Here’s the link to apply. tinyurl.com/coolgoodjob
