Imagine a world where blindness or low vision is no longer a barrier. 🌍👁️ With support from NLM & NIH, UCSB researchers are developing a "Smart #BionicEye" that uses #AI to create practical artificial vision. Learn more about this tech in #NLMMusings: loom.ly/SHyQhLw.

The Diesel2p: The do-anything 2p for neuroscientists. Huge field-of-view, dual scan engines, fast, easy-to-use, and already proven in neuro labs around the world. pacificoptica.com/diesel2p/

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac. Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute. Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond. pic.x.com/BGE4QGcg8g

Called it.

I'm excited about this. If your experiments benefit from having a large field-of-view scanned fast at high resolution, this is beyond anything else out there. It's ready to go. If you want in early, email me and we'll let you know the details. No pressure. It's just very cool.

The Ventana SL and Ventana TL are now available. pacificoptica.com/ventana/ This is a new standard in scan engine optics. Nothing else comes close. These optics enable diffraction-limited imaging over a huge field-of-view. They're easy to integrate into your systems.

I gave some $ to aclu.org

I wrote to my representatives again. Maybe at this point I should just let them subscribe to my newsletter.

FYI -- I mostly post here: neuromatch.social/@sls

This is actually fun. Try it! Your preprint -> AI-generated fake podcast -> video with actual human commentary -- It's remarkably effective! Awesome optics work to unlock big-and-fast in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, by Che-Hang Yu. youtube.com/watch?v=qO1nen…

Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer Smith's lab Spencer LaVere Smith. Neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from Pacific Optica . I'd love to build this for a client at some point! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
