We are collecting expressions of interest for two European Research Council (ERC)-funded #PhD scholarships in my lab in 2025 ➡️Research themes range from neural bases of large-scale brain connectivity to in silico modeling of brain networks 🧠 ➡️ More info fens.org/careers/job-ma…

It fills me with joy and pride that my home country has decided to recognise the value of my research with the "Italy Made Me" Award for Life Sciences 🏆🇮🇹🇬🇧 It is wonderful to be included in Italy’s celebration of Italian talent abroad.

1/3 It is very hard to put in words all the intense feelings that came when I opened the box in which my book arrived. This book is a culmination of six years of collective work of my team on the ERC grant "InStance" (instanceproject.eu).

The data science revolution is getting closer. TabPFN v2 is published in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… On tabular classification with up to 10k data points & 500 features, in 2.8s TabPFN on average outperforms all other methods, even when tuning them for up to 4 hours🧵1/19

Hey everyone, Giacomo Novembre and I are advertising to hire a research assistant (RA) based in my lab in Rovereto IIT LAND for a project focused on autism and joint music making. Project will incorporate dual EEG and eye tracking during interactions. iit.taleo.net/careersection/…

#TabPFN v2 also excels on time series! Just before our Nature paper came out, we had this paper at the #NeurIPS time series workshop: openreview.net/forum?id=ho8Yx… We simply cast time series as tabular regression and use exactly the model from Nature. It’s crazy that this works! 🧵1/10

UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING AUTISM: ETHOLOGY, EVOLUTION AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT November 13 -17 in beautiful Ettore Majorana Center in Sicily, Italy. It is possible to submit abstract to apply for short communication presentations or posters. Info👇🏻 centromajorana.it/autism2025/

Can we use brain scans to identify biologically distinct "autisms"? And If so, how? In our latest cross-species study 🐭👨we dive into these questions! Find out more here 👇👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below 🧵 1/n

Our lab IIT LAND is hiring. We're looking for a post-doc with EEG data analysis expertise to facilitate our work on autism. Get in touch if interested! iit.taleo.net/careersection/…

Our latest work is online today Science Advances ➡️Brain connectivity in carriers of high risk mutations for #autism and #schizophrenia U-turns across adolescence (hyper -> hypo) ➡️This switch is driven by synaptic remodeling science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Full explainer below 👇

New preprint! 'We' (in a truly international sense of 'we'; Marie Schaer & many others not on X) got together and looked autism early behavioral intervention datasets to see what might predict trajectories and outcomes. European Research Council (ERC) IIT LAND medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our first study using cerebral MRI in autistic preschoolers (MRI acquired during natural sleep thanks to the fantastic Nada Kojovic!). The same neural circuits might be involved in social difficulties between species. Amazing collaboration with camilla in Synapsy Centre UNIGE

An analysis of 20 autism mouse models point to two subtypes: One displaying out-of-sync brain activity and impaired synaptic pathways, the other with too much synchrony and dysregulated immune pathways. By Calli McMurray thetransmitter.org/spectrum/too-m…

Nice to see our preprint featured! Thanks Calli McMurray and The Transmitter for the excellent coverage!🐭🧠 👇 #neuroscience #autism

Two assistant professor positions available in cognitive neuroscience at the Univ of Trento! cimec.unitn.it/en/work-with-u…

More opportunities to join our lab IIT LAND. We have an opening for a research assistant, to help run the day-to-day activities regarding the various EEG, eye tracking, and MRI experiments we have ongoing with autistic children and adults. app.ncoreplat.com/jobposition/69…

For those interested in moving to Italy and join our lab IIT LAND doing autism research - Marie Curie Fellowships are one of the best routes. Get in touch with me if you were interested in having us host you for the fellowship. …sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/postdo…
