I know this sounds old fashioned. But I think I would love to use a recommendation engine (others think it is a bad idea https://brandonrozek.com/blog/finding-cool-people-on-mastodon/) for ordering my mastodon feed. There must be people working on it?

Now that I'm moved to neuromatch.social, a new #introduction.

I’m a professor at UPenn who studies memory. I work at the nexus of brain research and computation. I’m also writing a book: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What’s our plan to get there? What challenges do we face?

Writing has deepened my appreciation for community-based progress. I'm excited to be here to participate in, and benefit from, collective intelligence.

I'm also committed to restraining myself from the power of 10K characters. But I will edit whenever I'm allowed - that is the superpower that we all deserve.

Hello all since I moved to neuromatch.social, an #introduction

I'm a Professor at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. I have a joint appointment in the Dept. Psychology and in the Dept. Physiology & Pharmacology.

My research area is the neuroscience of motor control and motor learning. I work mainly with humans, doing experiments and using computational models to understand how the nervous system produces voluntary movement and the computational basis of how we learn new motor skills.

I teach courses in Statistics, and in Scientific Computing, and sometimes Sensorimotor Neuroscience.

I'm an immigrant, we moved to Canada from South Africa when I was 18 months old. I grew up in Vancouver, BC on the west coast of Canada.

Looking forward to being a part of this wonderful community.

This week's sensorimotor superlab reading list is out #superlabreadinglist @andpru @paulgribble https://superlab.ca/readinglist/list187.html

Why did we name #eeg brain rhythms the way we did? Alpha/beta were detected first, so assigning them the first letters of the alphabet appears sensible. Were gamma and delta detected in this order? Why are there theta/mu but no epsilon, zeta, eta? Does mu stand for M=motor? What does theta stand for then?
Is there maybe a reference that has collected info about the origin of these names?
