Your weekend read should be our study on New York Rats biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Mining NYC311 reports of rat sightings to pick a time and place to perform the field studies. We settled on 3 recording locations in distinct environments (subway, park, sidewalk): Union Square…
New preprint! tl;dr — We ran around late at night to record wild rats in NYC and figured out how to quantify their behavior and environment. 🧵 w/ Dima Batenkov, @zamakany, @e_mackevicius biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The theoretical physicist Thomas Hertog believes that a sort of cosmological natural selection may have evolved our universe into one that is mysteriously fine-tuned for life. Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @jannalevin: quantamagazine.org/why-did-the-un…
As you know I'm obsessed with power laws in biology, which is a biological consequence of fundamental principles, like energy conservation from the first law of thermodynamics. Geoffrey West showed how highly optimized biological networks—think blood vessels or respiratory…
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…
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…

Fantastic work by our (now former) lab manager Liv Christiano. We assess the test-retest reliability of OPM and compare it to fMRI and iEEG. 🧠📄🧵bsky.app/profile/olivia… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Using aggregated measurements from a global network of Android smartphones, we developed a system that detects earthquakes, delivers early warnings to users, and builds user trust with each successful alert. Learn more from the blog →goo.gle/40WgYoe
A new study led by @timothy_sit shows that different layers of mouse V1 integrate visual and non-visual signals differently. L2/3 activity is dominated by vision (or spontaneous fluctuations) and L5 by movement. This leads to different geometries. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I don't know how to say it any more explicitly; I get that people don't read the lengthy papers where this is all carefully laid out (frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…, or Box 1 from nature.com/articles/s4200…) but it was 1 sentence right there in the tweet... It's almost as if there was…
