Congratulations to Christiaan Levelt @LeveltLab for taking over directorship of the NIN in Jan 2024. I have had the privilege to lead the institute, together with Chris de Zeeuw. We look forward to the NIN discoveries the coming years! x.com/nin_knaw/statu…

Congratulations Stan, and well deserved!

Here’s the result of a massive collaboration within the Human Brain Project to pinpoint what we know about the neural mechanisms of consciousness across scales🧐 led by J.Storm, with Chris Klink Pieter Roelfsema Matthew Larkum and others not on X accepted in Neuron osf.io/preprints/psya…

A fake paper… in Frontiers… why am I not surprised? This predatory publisher once again reveals its true nature.

In this paper Maureen van der Grinten, Jaap Ruyter van Steveninck and the other team members create a realistic simulation of what a future visual prosthesis user might perceive. It is a very useful resource for researchers in visual prosthetics. elifesciences.org/articles/85812

Here, Corin Orlemann our and collaborators at IMTEK (Freiburg) tested polymer electrodes in the visual cortex of mice for artificial perception. They lasted longer than the lifespan of the mice, withstood 10B pulses and did not cause much tissue damage. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

The final version of the paper is now openly available Neuron via cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Many congratulations to Rainer Goebel for winning the ERC advanced grant! maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/how-do-we…

We have an exciting position for a PhD student or postdoc working on the processes that transform visual inputs into image understanding. the candidate will study neuronal activity at various levels of the visual cortex. herseninstituut.nl/vacatures/phd-…

So sad to read this. Dan was a giant and a gentleman, a ceaseless source of deep and joyful ideas

GPT-4o as tested by Be My Eyes:

Neuroprostheses to electrically stimulate the brain of e.g. blind individuals benefit from monitoring of neurons, to test if the activation suffices. Feng Wang et al. compared methods to remove electrical artefacts that would otherwise obscure the signal. doi.org/10.1016/j.jneu…

Fantastic work, Koen! Great that you can finally share this last paper of your PhD work. This was a super inspiring HBP-funded Human Brain Project project with the labs of Lars Muckli , Matthew Larkum Pieter Roelfsema with so much help from all coauthors!

Pleased to announce our Generative Adversarial Collaboration at CogCompNeuro #CCN2024 “Is V1 a Cognitive Map?” And we need YOUR help! Please Download + Comment on the Proposal by Clicking the Following Link: sites.google.com/ccneuro.org/ga… Outline of GAC in 🧵 below!

Our lab at the Institut de la Vision (IDV) in Paris is seeking a PhD student or postdoc. The project explores the function and organisation of the macaque visual brain using high channel count neural interfaces for neuroscience and prosthetics. institut-vision.org/en/job-offers/…
