In late January, I said we were "still exploring" a cool thing we found in RN.

Well, we're back, and we've got movement kinematics (thanks to β€ͺ@deeplabcut.bsky.social‬)!

(You can find all the details in our updated bioRxiv paper, linked below)

Cerebellar output shapes cortical preparatory activity during motor adaptation - Nature Communications Functional role of the cerebellum in motor adaptation is not fully understood. The authors show that cerebellar signals act as low-dimensional feedback which constrains the structure of the preparator...

I think 50 engineers have to be asked to leave, leaving 49, and 1 designer which is 2% of the total attendees.
