Gordon Conference on the Neurobiology of Cognition is on for this summer! Please join and spread the word! July 24-29, 2022 at Sunday Rivery in Newry, Maine. Apply now to attend and present your work! Trainees, please attend the GRS immediately prior! grc.org/neurobiology-o…

New big AI models impressive, but still feels like trajectory of AI/ML research is not towards human intelligence. That's not a problem btw: it's awesome to have tools that are better at understanding statistical regularities of the world than we can, to augment our intelligence.

Great Summer School on Primate Cognitive Neuroscience (PCN 2022) will take place Jul 24 - Aug 05, 2022 in Bad Bevensen, Germany. Open for PhD students and early postdocs working in Primate Systems Neurophysiology. Application deadline: May 6, 2022. Check: tinyurl.com/5n6vween

📣Part 1 of our quest to better understand the brain was DeepLabCut 🦄. 🔥🦓Now Part 2: Introducing #CEBRA to jointly model neural dynamics & behavior with self-supervised learning. Hypothesis- or data-driven, highly consistent, decodable neural latents arxiv.org/abs/2204.00673 🧵👇

Miss these discussions Camilo Libedinsky. Need to plan a trip to Sg to catch up on your ideas!

New paper led by the brilliant Georgios Spyropoulos out in Nature Communications. Don’t skip the Supplementary Discussion which displays differing views (by different authors) about the theoretical implications of the study. A🧵👇 rdcu.be/cLDXV

Lovely replies on the upsides. In case it is useful perspective for anyone else, here's part of how I managed the downsides as an ECR so that the upsides dominated my experience in academia.

John Kubie Nicole C Rust, PhD Vineet Tiruvadi, MD PhD Another fallacy: You deactivate X, record in Y. It changes activity in Y and produces a behavioral deficit. People conclude that the causal chain is X -> Y -> behavior. But what if the chain is X -> behavior -> Y. After all, if you change behavior, the brain will change.

Today Delhi hit 49.2° Celsius (120.5° Fahrenheit). When I go out for shopping in the afternoon, I can't walk for even few seconds on the road due to extreme heatwave. Temperature are more high on the ground than the air. It's difficult to breath the air. Very dangerous for kids.

Excited to present our latest work on DBS in OCD IBNS! Team effort of WilluhnLab, Aishu Parthasarathy, & more. For those going to #IBNS2022, stop by Thursday 13:30 BST to hear Lizzie Manning, Eric Burguiere, Prof Amy Milton, Christiane Schreiweis, and I talk about OCD-like mice!

New paper out: The role of population structure in computations through neural dynamics. Congrats to @lowrank_adrian, Alexis Dubreuil, Manuel Beiran and Francesca Mastrogiuseppe for exceptionnal work! Thread -> nature.com/articles/s4159…

💥Preprint!💥 I am excited to show you our work “The therapeutic mechanism of deep-brain stimulation”! WilluhnLab and I have worked on this for over 4 years. Big thanks to our co-authors Alfredo Elhazaz, Enny, Aishu Parthasarathy, Peter, and Damiaan Denys (1/14) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

India just passed China as the most populous country in the world. Why? Because of the biggest accident in history Look at where people live in India. What's that band up north?

🥳 Our latest paper is out today in Nature Neuro 🥳 Introducing the Neuro-stack, a wearable platform that records human single-neuron activity during walking🚶🏻‍♀️ nature.com/articles/s4159…

I hope some of you find this interesting "Comparing representations and computations in single neurons versus neural networks" Trends in Cognitive Sciences sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to summarize this work with talented postdoc Roger Herikstad! When you initiate a movement after a sensory go cue, the time between the sensory signal and the movement onset is variable. This reaction time (RT) variability is observed even for well-practiced movements.(1/8)

Latest from our lab (with Evangelos Sigalas). We developed a method to estimate connectivity features of brain regions using noise correlation and RNN models. We found that LPFC area 9/46 had a lower proportion of bump attractor architecture compared to the FEF (~7.5% vs ~20%).

Look, an AI ⛺️ protein? MPM4 repo: 310.ai/mpm/6682c514-9… MPM4 white paper: bit.ly/310paper

Latent Labs comes out of stealth today with $50M funding. Our goal? To push the frontiers of generative biology, giving partners instant access to tools capable of accelerating drug design. Every biotech or pharma company searching for the best therapeutic molecules understands

New research in Science greatly expands the potential target scope of molecular glues and should stimulate the development of new small molecules that can selectively target therapeutically relevant proteins for degradation. Learn more in this week's issue:
