We are looking for a PhD student
We are looking for a PhD student interested in the functional, molecular and structural profile of neuronal circuits underlying learning, memory and behavior. In a 30-year research effort (lay summ…bjoern.brembs.blog
"If you take it for granted that nobody can listen in on your innermost thoughts, I regret to inform you that your brain may not be private much longer. Luckily, the brain is lawyering up." Colorado passed legislation to prevent companies from selling your brainwaves. But is it enough to stop the likes of Meta and Apple?

Colorado brain data bill: How a new law will protect the privacy of our thoughts
What are neurorights? Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are building tech to read our minds. Lawyers are trying to protect our mental privacy from Silicon Valley through neurorights.Sigal Samuel (Vox)
I'm happy to present the last paper from my thesis!
Lisa Li and I set out to build a model of fly walking which is based on 3D kinematics data, handles perturbations, and includes sensorimotor delays. (This was supervised by Bing Brunton and @tuthill )
We set up a new modeling framework, generated fly walking with kinematics matched to real data, a simple metric for quantifying similarity of trajectories, and found constraints on delays for robust walking!

Sensorimotor delays constrain robust locomotion in a 3D kinematic model of fly walking
Walking animals must maintain stability in the presence of external perturbations, despite significant temporal delays in neural signaling and muscle actuation.bioRxiv
An open platform for visual stimulation of insects
To study how the nervous system processes visual information, experimenters must record neural activity while delivering visual stimuli in a controlled fashion.doi.org
