The Quebec Neuro-AI research center (UNIQUE Center UNIQUE Center Neuro-AI ) is offering conference travel grants for students and postdocs! Check it out and spread the word! 👇

Two exciting funded PhD openings at the intersection of comp-neuro and AI on cortical plasticity & learning at Architectures of Biological Learning Lab in Montreal Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine Université de Montréal Mila - Institut québécois d'IA. Applications can still be accepted until June 1st for fall 2022 for Canadians or those with a valid study permit.

Our lab at Yale Univ. will be hiring up to 2 postdoctoral associates to investigate the neural mechanisms of social interaction in the prefrontal-amygdala circuits. Lab: changlab.yale.edu. Contact: [email protected]. Timeline: the earlier the better. Please RT! Thanks!

Mice stop work both when their actions fail and when they're sated. New paper with Ryan Post, Dave Bulkin, Becket Ebitz, Vladlena Lee, and Kasey Han shows that lateral habenula tonic activity acts as a neutral valence 'brake'. Cornell University Neurobio & Behavior bit.ly/3pWIleX

Come do neuro in Montreal! It's an awesome community in an amazing city.

The noiseLab is looking for postdocs (jobrxiv.org/job/universite…) and research assistants/associates (jobrxiv.org/job/universite…). If you're in Montreal for #cosyne2023 and like it so much that you never want to leave, drop me a line!

How does the brain represent multiple different things at once in a single population of neurons? Justin Fine, @NeuroPolarbear, Becket Ebitz, Seng Bum Michael Yoo and I show that it uses semi-orthogonal subspaces for each item. Preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2309.07766 Tweets below! (1/n)
