Cosyne Workshop Alert! On Tuesday March 5th, Chethan Pandarinath and I are proud to bring you: Understanding Neural Computation using Task-trained and Data-trained Networks. youtu.be/bJ0stLORdgQ

Hey #Cosyne2024 - sadly Anjali Agarwal couldn't get a visa to present her awesome work on inferring latent dynamics from large 2P populations. But please come by 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑-𝟏𝟕𝟐 and I'll tell you all about it!

Check out our solution for imaging the 25% of neurons normally obscured by the eyes. Simple to deploy on existing rigs - just add a mirrored micro-prism!

What underlies the spinal cord’s intrinsic ability to adjust locomotor patterns on a step-by-step basis? We investigated this question in our new preprint! Follow along in the thread for the #tweeprint!

Modern neuroscientists routinely record the complex, goal-oriented, and time-varying activity of thousands of neurons. Can we find representations of neural activity that 1) are human-interpretable and 2) enable the generation of neural activity for unrecorded behavioral

How can we build BCIs that operate robustly in the face of nonstationarities? Our NeurIPS Conference Datasets and Benchmarks paper introduces the Few-shot Algorithms for Consistent Neural Decoding (FALCON) Benchmark! Work led by Brianna Karpowicz and Joel Ye
