Last week, we finally submitted my first paper during my PhD (bioRXiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...). The paper is about change-of-mind (COM) behavior.
You know when you're taking a test and switch your answer after second-guessing yourself? We studied what happens in the brain at that moment.
Preprint alert! We've done the first ever brain recording simultaneously from IT & PMv in two monkeys interacting socially in natural setting!
Dynamic tracking of social variables in simultaneous brain recordings of socially interacting monkeys

New preprint! 🧵🧪🧠

Upshot: somatosensory cortex contains both feedback *and* intended movement signals (a.k.a. corollary discharge). These two signals exist orthogonally in neural space, flexibly allowing both fast state estimation and external perturbation detection. 1/
The paper shows that high‑gamma field activity and local spiking are distinct. The “hashy” signal often treated as a proxy for spiking is partly generated by other biophysics like dendritic and network‑level currents, not just summed spikes.

New preprint out 🚨 “Predictive pursuit emerges in high-dimensional recurrent neural networks”! This was an awesome collaboration with co-first author @fatihdinc.bsky.social , @andyalexander.bsky.social, @xiaoxiao-lin.bsky.social, and May Chen biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/
I will be in #London & #Oxford next week and will be giving a seminar at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Oxford. This time, I will share new work from our lab @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social 🤓. June 9 | 12-1 pm!

If you are around or would like to meet while I'm here, DM me!
Liked the thoughtful consideration about what we know/don’t know about ripples & manifolds and how individuals cell types might be key in resolving some puzzles.
@lmprida.bsky.social also discusses differences in thinking/writing/intuiting in one’s own language which is on point ✅
Check it out!
Honored to receive such incredible support as we start the lab. Do check out their video feature that covers the lab and the people who inhabit it 😍🐀!

Especially happy that my ⭐ colleague and fellow neuroscientist @sarthakc.bsky.social is here too!
