Neuronal oscillations, exhaust fumes or causally efficacious??

Neuromatch Academy teaches thousands of students about neuroscience, deep learning, climate. We uniquely have export permit, ~1000 applicants per year from embargoed countries, e.g., Iran. We can not accept money, making us somewhat unsustainable and may force us to eventually

in 2023 we had 143 attendees from 34 countries, 41 inperson

feedback:
'mind-opening experience to listen to the great work of top-notch researchers”
“friendly environment which I felt even in online experience”
“appreciated the lab tour, Northern Ireland's culture and heritage”

In 2022, we published our first study about developing a new monkey model of #COVID19 . The image below is a 3D reconstruction of a microscopy image showing microglia cells (🔴iba1) attacking a neuron (🔵neurofilament) infected with SARS-Cov-2 (not shown). Do you want to see more?

Happy International Women in Mathematics Day!

Maryam Mirzakhani won the Fields Medal in 2014 for her important contributions to geometry and dynamical systems. May 12 was Mirzakhani’s birthday, and now it is a day to celebrate all women in the mathematical sciences.

I just found out that there is such a thing as the tasselled wobbegong shark and I need to share it with you all

for a quick intro / summary of a paper, do you guys prefer threads of tweets, or videos?

New preprint (link ↓): Connectionists think that plasticity in the brain might enable it to learn like an artificial neural network. Machine learning people have some ideas about learning, and neuroscientists have some ideas about plasticity. (1/N)

The peer review process.

PSA: when you hear a study 'implicates' X in Y, you should ask:

1. Is the experimental method robust? (Or is it based on tiny sample, shoddy stats...)
2. Is a causal interpretation warranted? (Usually not demonstrated)
3. Is the effect size important? (Again, often not)
