What is the neural "software" behind movement?
I am presenting my group's work on this topic at the van Vreeswijk Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar series, which is now online----
"Neural Manifolds in Spinal Networks That Orchestrate Movement"

Comments & Qs are welcome!
Just had an amazing visit to the Institute for Machine-Brain Interfacing Technology (IMBIT) at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in the beautiful city of Freiburg. Great to meet Thomas Stieglitz and the team of Project Move2Treat -
Excited to start teaching the PhD course on theoretical neuroscience next week. Books arrived!
