Interested in helping run a lab to understand visual perception in primates? Tsao lab UC Berkeley is looking for a new lab manager. Perfect for highly motivated candidates who want to gain deep research experience before grad school. Experience with NHPs is a plus. Please RT🙏

Grateful to have been a part of this collaboration. The NHP Neuropixels 1.0 probes described in this preprint might well present a little revolution for primate neuroscience, as they allow recordings from over a thousand neurons deep in the primate brain.

Happy this is now published in elife: elifesciences.org/articles/74394

Alex and Allyson Grey (Alex Grey and Allyson Grey) are responsible for the most influential and visionary pieces of psychedelic artwork. This week, PsySci had the wonderful opportunity to host them as our speakers.

Some slides from Doris Tsao of one of the most fascinating talks ever at #ASSC26 (Ned Block's words). In my very meager 1 sentence MA-educated twitter summary (I think) she's saying consciousness is a process occurring intermittently between physical visual processing.

Thank you, Sarah, that's a perfect one-sentence summary of our current work.

Nice commentary by Steve Fleming

Thrilled to share the discovery that face cells rapidly code-switch, within 20 ms, from a tuning optimized for face detection to a completely different tuning optimized for face discrimination. This switch is gated by successful detection of a face and doesn’t happen for objects.

This (Tuesday) afternoon at #sfn2024 ! Come check out Janis Hesse talk about his work on conscious perception in MCP Room S106!4:00 PM - 4:15 PM. NANO32.13 - Dynamics of representations of conscious perception and physical stimulus across inferotemporal, parietal and prefrontal

1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of Doris Tsao and Ueli Rutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our paper on developing Neuropixels 1.0 NHP for deep recordings in the primate brain is now out in Nature Neuroscience.
