Description: a blog for things I encounter while coding and researching neuroscience, motor control, and learning
Back in September I had an review article in Science Robotics published, discussing new work from Abadia et al, 2021 titled A cerebellar-based solution to the nondeterministic time delay problem in robotic control . In my review I talk about the parallel’s between the brain inspired approach Abadia et al used to create a neural circuit that can effectively control a compliant, highly nonlinear robotic system in the face of variable feedback delay, and the history and application of convolutional neural netw

And it has for a while, actually. ‘Oh great’, you may be thinking, ‘but I can never afford the Mujoco license, I’m not a tenured professor!’ Well fear not, friends! Mujoco recently became free for all to use! You can now download their public license and be on your merry way. The associated downside is there’s also no more official support from Dr. Emo Todorov for paid subscribers on the forum. This, I’m sure, is unrelated to my barrage of questions over the years (really I’ve only posted 6 times so it actu
