Earlier this year we got a new lab logo -- it illustrates the core questions we are interested in.
Measuring behavior, and linking it to the brain and body with a particular interest in muscles as well muscle spindles. We focus on proprioception, motor control & skill learning.

Excited to be presenting my first solo-author *spotlight* at NeurIPS on Thursday -- Flow Equivariant RNNS!
Exhibit Hall C,D,E #2612 @ 4:30pm - 7:30pm

Why do video models handle motion so poorly? It might be lack of motion equivariance.
Very excited to introduce: Flow Equivariant RNNs (FERNNs), the first sequence models to respect symmetries over time.

🚀 We are very excited to continue to build on this work; if you haven’t checked it out, the code keeps getting better and expanding.
We thank the @KavliFoundation for supporting this alongside @DeepLabCut - a core package in AmadeusGPT 💪
Have a package you want to leverage within AmadeusGPT? Post an issue on GitHub!
To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of using natural language for behavioral analysis: under the hood it leverages @OpenAI GPT models, @DeepLabCut @cebraAI & @Meta SegmentAnything, and has a host of innovations
Check out the call for DeepLabCut workshops around the world!
🚀 DLC AI Residents call for 2025! This year, we are doing something a little different to support even more underrepresented individuals 🥰
We are having in-person workshops again 🙌, & we are taking the 2025 AI Residency on the Road! 🛤️
App open now!

Our deepest thanks to the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences for awarding @TrackingPlumes and me (@EPFL_en) the Robert Bing Prize 2024 alongside Susanne Wegener (@UZH_en ). Us for our joint work bridging machine learning and behavioral neurobiological research into sensorimotor control and learning 🦾, and her incredible translational research on the pathophysiology and treatment of stroke:

It’s been amazing to see the impact of machine learning tools in preclinical models as well as seeing @DeepLabCut used in human clinical trials! I’m very proud of the whole team ✨ @mwmathislab @amathislab
Personally, I’m so humbled and happy, as it goes full circle in my quest to ultimately help patients through the lens of foundational research 🥰🚀

I'm super excited to share some results from the Science PRIMA retinal prosthesis clinical trial, including that it's exceeded its main efficacy endpoint with a mean acuity improvement of 4.6 EDTRS lines. Trial participants are almost completely blind due to macular degeneration. There are no good options available to these patients today.

Science's PRIMA retinal prosthesis clinical trial results in STAT!
A recent clinical trial shows promising results for restoring partial vision in patients with advanced macular degeneration using retinal implants and infrared glasses trib.al/PGCwA37

📢 New lab preprint 📢 We provide the first description of string pulling by the common marmoset. I think this will prove a valuable paradigm for studying the neural basis of reaching and grasping as well as bimanual coordination with these creatures. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
In this perspective we discuss task-driven & data-driven models as well as how they pave the way towards causal neuroscience. We focus on the vision, sensorimotor control and language processing.
