Interested in finding consistent patterns in place cell ensemble firing during sharp wave-ripples without the need for comparisons to place cell sequences from active behaviors? Check out this cool new paper from Caleb Kemere (with Kamran Diba کامران دیبا, David Foster, and Brad Pfeiffer). x.com/ckemere/status…

New NIH K99/R00 BRAIN Initiative program for DIVERSITY. Eligible groups include: persons underrepresented by race/ethnicity, persons with a disability, and/or women. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/p… Webinar on June 12 at 1:00 pm EDT: bit.ly/BRAINK99Webinar

Wrote a #Limerick to summarize my decision-making lecture today: Allen Institute Those who care how brains make a decision And how signals are integrated for vision Should be quite enthusiastic About stimuli that are stochastic And estimating latent variables with precision

Our preprint reporting a paradoxical relationship between motivational shifts and hippocampal replay content is now available! We found that when rats were hungry, replay was biased toward the water arm of a T-maze; when thirsty, toward the food arm (biorxiv.org/content/early/…).

Presenting neurotechnology at #SFN in San Siego? Excellent pre-meeting on advanced neurotechnology sponsored by ⁦IEEE Brain⁩ - one week left to submit a 1pg paper for the poster session! brain.ieee.org/news/author-in…

Need some help tweeps! I was asked to help make a timeline for “significant events” in neuroengineering. What would you include?

Exciting time to join the Neuroengineering team at Rice. Opportunities for students and postdocs as well as multiple tenure track positions this cycle! engineering.rice.edu/neuroengineeri…

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on sequence replay, sleep, and memory in collaboration with Ted Abel. Please share this post with potential candidates. Thanks! neurojobs.sfn.org/jobs/11514596/…

Come explore ethical & scientific issues in biotech on Dec. 4-5 at "Our Bioelectronic Future: Smaller, Smarter, Connected" with John Doerr & more Rice University De Lange Conferences Rice University delange.rice.edu

Our new paper on real-time detection of hippocampal memory replay patterns has been published in eLife - the journal. Check it out: elifesciences.org/articles/36275

I am running this really cool NSF-funded IPAN program. Students attend a bootcamp in Michigan, then travel to international partner sites for a "Summer Undergraduate Research Experience" (costs covered!) Please encourage undergrads (& grads too) to apply. eecs.umich.edu/ipan/bootcamp.…

Congratulations to ECE professor Lin Zhong who was named an IEEE Fellow for his “contributions to the development of energy-efficient driver circuits for organic light-emitting diodes.” Read more at ow.ly/xW5m50jPjQZ.

Exciting opportunity to work on Open Ephys + Neuropixels at the Allen Institute. Positions available for 2 software engineers based in Seattle: indeed.com/viewjob?jk=656…

We've been having good success with these tools. Thanks Suhasa and lab for developing and sharing robust designs!

Very cool new results from @fknerf and team showing the importance of hippocampal ripples in ongoing behavioral tasks.

Looking for a postdoc interested in working at the interface between Neuroengineering and computational imaging. Joint project to create tiny lensless devices for whole-cortex imaging in freely moving mice. It will be fun! Please RT! jobs.rice.edu/postings/20951

Exciting opportunity in a great lab!

I've recievced many calls and emails from colleagues asking for advice on what to do. Twitter isn't optimal, but I have grants and papers to get done, so this will have to do. In anticipation of this planning meeting... some concrete agenda items. 1/n shutdownstem.com

This Wednesday, June 10th, in conjunction with #ParticlesForJustice, I am taking part in #ShutDownSTEM, a one day event for African Americans in STEM to rest, and for others to educate themselves and reflect. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackandSTEM 1/20 particlesforjustice.org

In today’s #MondayMinute, Shay Dutta from Caleb Kemere’s lab steps away from research to discuss BrainSTEM, which brings hands-on neuroscience to underrepresented middle & high school students in Houston. Watch this video to hear how you can help! Connect at tmcbrainstem.org.
