🏰 New preprint! 🏰
(w/ the excellent @neuronomist.bsky.social & Prof. Jason Mattingley)
For my PhD I've been using EEG, psychophysics and modelling to explore how the brain uses uncertainty to balance sensory information against expectations about what's out there.
🧵1/n
Using time-resolved EEG/MEG decoding?🧠 Here’s a new approach!
No feature engineering (decode from raw signals), but capturing info that standard decoding often misses (oscillatory/aperiodic activity, connectivity).
Lightweight, INTERPRETABLE, and easy to use. (1/6)

🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social
We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked
What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective
We call it the digital sphinx

Excited to share that our MEG project is now out in Current Biology! We show how visual content codes relate to motor oscillations in telling time.
Huge thanks to Quirin Gehmacher, Peter Kok, Matt Davis and Clare Press (bsky links below).🧵
