We have developed a new tactile sensor, called e-Flesh, with a simple working principle: measure deformations in 3D printable microstructures. Now all you need to make tactile sensors is a 3D printer, magnets, and magnetometers! 🧵
RIP @BeierLab @SchulichMedDent. You helped me over the years in so many ways!
Deeply sad our department chair @BeierLab @SchulichMedDent passed away. Frank was a great scientist and colleague. His leadership, actions and vision were exemplary. Talking to Frank always gave me motivation and made me want to be a better person.
Still the best movement neurophys book -- from my former department chair. @SchulichMedDent should really do more to honor his enormous legacy.
An excellent introduction. Written 40 years ago, but feels fresh and relevant to today’s big questions and debates.
Congratulations to the Neuralink team. Incredible progress.
Watch the latest update from the Neuralink team.
Love CMB already.
Collin Murray-Boyles' reaction to getting drafted is priceless 😆
game changer approach -- now out in journal
I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Never do this on first submission. Few journals (at least in Neuro) really require it -- none should.
How much collective time is wasted formatting initial journal submissions that will ultimately be rejected?
Our perspective on whether you use only 10 bits/s of you brain.
Is it true you use only 10 bits / s of your brain? @andpru and I provide a motor systems perspective on a proposed speed limit for human information processing. Out today in @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159…
🔍 New research shows common marmosets excel in string-pulling tasks, revealing natural hand coordination & age variability. A breakthrough for studying bimanual skills and neural networks! Read more: ow.ly/B9nc50VS69a @andpru #BimanualCoordination

THE MEMORIAL CUP IS COMING BACK TO LONDON!!!!!!!!
Beautiful to see! @LondonKnights win the Memorial Cup. Juggernaut.
If you are a scientist looking or needing to leave the US and have some experience/interest with NHP electrophysiology, get in touch.
I literally went to bed at this moment... crazy.
Teams up 14+ in the final 2:50 of a playoff fourth quarter or overtime (play-by-play era): 977-1* *Knicks vs. Pacers tonight
Go see Vaishu's work and learn all about the primate tactile periphery.
If you’re at CAN-ACN 2025, come check out my poster today D-138! Let’s talk about the link between anatomy, physiology and function - touch and touch processing! And there will be some pictures too!
