- A remarkable journey of resilience and transformation, from the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford, EMERGENCE is a coming-of-age tale where heartbreak and humor meet the scientific wonder of modern artificial intelligence. 🔗 Preorder: tinyurl.com/fzcxb5ea
- 2026 Internships at CTRL Labs at Meta Reality Labs It's intern application season for summer 2026 with the CTRL Labs (Electromyogram (EMG)) team at Meta Reality Labs! 🚀 You can see our latest work covered in this Nature article. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- We have two exciting Research Scientist Intern positions open: 1️⃣ Neuromotor Interfaces: Computational Modeling (PhD) - This for AI-centric folks 2️⃣ Neuromotor Interfaces (PhD) - Research scientist catch-all, including signal processing, physics, experimental skills, etc.

- Reposted by David Sussillo(7/26) The most surprising phenomenology happens after input cessation at t≥0: neurons continue oscillating long after stimulation ends, with lifetimes exceeding any intrinsic system timescale, including the plasticity forgetting timescale, by an order of magnitude (panel iii).
- Coming March 17, 2026! Just got my advance copy of Emergence — a memoir about growing up in group homes and somehow ending up in neuroscience and AI. It’s personal, it’s scientific, and it’s been a wild thing to write. Grateful and excited to share it soon.
- Finally, a book that combines early childhood trauma with neural networks and AI. Just what the field was missing.
- Reposted by David SussilloFUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Motor Learning and Neuromotor Ethics Our Reality Labs EMG Foundational Research team is pleased to announce an RFP! The topic is on motor learning for EMG-based HCI and the related neuromotor ethics. Submissions are due September 1! www.meta.com/blog/reality...
- Open-sourced EMG data plus training/testing scripts to make contact with our results at 100 users for each three tasks (discrete gestures, 1D wrist navigation, and handwriting). github.com/facebookrese...
- New paper from our group out today! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Explainer threads 🧵 are generous. They help science be a community, not a contest. Keep 'em coming!

- Reposted by David SussilloCalling all science advocates!! Carlos Brody+ are creating a searchable database of tangible science benefits, and they need you. publicusaresearchbenefits.com They are asking for suggestions - from brief to lengthy. The database is state-searchable, so all 50 states. Please spread the word!
- Come see Nishal’s poster today at #cosyne2025 (Session 2, 2-051)! We’ve added a per-trial inferred bias to LFADS, boosting interpretability by turning multistable dynamics into contextual ones. Less murky, more meaningful with many practical applications such as denoising data.

- Reposted by David SussilloHow can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask Eva Dyer and @tyrellturing.bsky.social in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series. www.thetransmitter.org/neuroai/acce...
- Reposted by David Sussillo1/7 Our paper on individual variability in decision-making is finally out in @nature.com! Inspired by the classic work by Mante and Sussillo, we trained many rats to solve context-dependent decision-making, and we found that different brains use different neural mechanisms to solve the same task!
- We're hiring! Join Meta Reality Lab's EMG Wristband foundational research team! ⚡️ We're seeking research scientists with systems neuro/ML/AI/BCI/EE backgrounds, with skills on a spectrum from modeling to experimental expertise, as well as generalists who excel in both areas.
- Grace's critique is spot on. Perhaps one function of dynamics is to switch from representation to representation?

- Imagine all the amazing science one could do if these EMG recordings were paired up with multi electrode recordings in motor cortex. (Speaking as an academic neuroscientist, not a Meta scientist).
