Our experiments in using real-time fMRI neurofeedback to alter the interpretation of an ambiguous, naturalistic narrative—a colossal amount of work by Anne Mennen with Norman Lab—now published in NeuroImage: Reports doi.org/10.1016/j.ynir…

🐁💜#deeplabcut+🦓🖤#cebra = 🔥 M- Lab of Adaptive Intelligence @EPFL show you can use @CEBRAai with only neural data, only behavior data (#CEBRA supports loading your DeepLabCut 🦄 data 👀), and powerfully combine data for rich metrics & insights into neural population dynamics nature.com/articles/s4158…

Lab's latest: "Neural representation dynamics reveal computational principles of cognitive task learning", wherein we tracked dynamic changes in cortical-subcortical cognitive representations over practice, revealing computational principles underlying task learning: 1/n

At NeurIPS this week, @RichardAntone13 is presenting his work on scaling fMRI encoding models. We've also shared code, extracted features, and estimated model weights for some of our best models: github.com/HuthLab/encodi… Tweeprint: x.com/alex_ander/sta…

Standard neural coding approaches (think GLM) model how firing rates depend on stimuli. But how do we capture the widely observed phenomenon that the variability of spike trains is also stimulus-dependent? Our new #NeurIPS2023 paper has the solution: tiny.cc/npnr 1/10

Just submitted by psychophysics/neuroscience powerhouse Chunyue Teng : model-based analysis of a WM+visual-discrimination dual task, applying RL model of cognitive control from Jiefeng Jiang. Don't be that person who hasn't yet read it biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What makes #neuroscience models explanatory? Today we premiered Dr. Mazviita Chirimuuta’s four mini-lectures about explanations, mechanisms, models, and simplifications. This is a fantastic closer to our 26-video Beginner’s Guide To Neural Mechanisms Online-anisms: philosophyofbrains.com/2023/12/15/fou…

I've frozen registration for Statistical Rethinking 2024. There are 342 ppl on the wait list. As attendance falls, I will invite from the list. But all of the lectures and homework and my boundless love for data rebellion remain open to all. BE EMBRACED: github.com/rmcelreath/sta…

Congratulations to Tim Zolnik who made a superhuman effort for this paper (cell.com/neuron/fulltex…)! Thanks to the rest of the team including Britta Eickholt and our Visiting Einstein Fellow Zoltan Molnar.

Have you wondered whether fast spatiotemporal brain dynamics like traveling waves are local, confined to just one region, or whether they are shared across many regions simultaneously? The latest work from Zhiwen Ye in my lab has the answer! Thread- biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
