Reposted by Raeed ChowdhuryJonathan A. Michaels @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Many of the scientific questions we're interested in tackling require studying learning over long periods of time across the brain. This is challenging – which is why we're excited to say we've been developing a system for chronic wireless recording using long Neuropixels probes in macaque monkeys. 78622
Raeed Chowdhury @raeedcho.com · 15/04/2026New preprint! 🧵🧪🧠 doi.org/10.64898/202... 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/ 34619

We dig into the evolutionary origins of neural computations for behavioral control across mice, monkeys, and humans: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... As our lab's first foray into comparative analysis of neural dynamics, I’m super excited about this work! 1/18 614148

We can now provide an explanation: Exceptionally high stakes interfere with the neural signals of motor preparation. I'd love to hear - what do you think causes it? sciencedirect.com/science/arti...sciencedirect.comA neural basis of choking under pressureIncentives tend to drive improvements in performance. But when incentives get too high, we can “choke under pressure” and underperform right when it m… 1319
