- New study out today in Nature Comms: www.nature.com/articles/s41..., in which we set out to test whether ultrasound could influence the reward-related learning computations of the nucleus accumbens, building on decades of work on dopaminergic prediction error and reinforcement learning. And it did.

- Thalamus for vision BCIs Scientists have recorded single neurons in the human LGN for the first time, revealing how it links the retina to visual cortex. When one eye is closed, neurons tuned to that eye reduce their activity, while neurons tuned to the open eye increase in spikerate #neuroskyence

- Reposted by Brain Research and Imaging Centre, PlymouthInsular neural interfaces Cognitive error signals in the anterior insula propagate toward prefrontal cortex when a BCI fails to follow the user’s intention. Real-time integration enables a self-correcting neural interface that compensates for its own decoder misclassifications #neuroskyence
