Introducing RatInABox: an open-source package for motion and cell modelling in continuous environments. RatInABox makes modelling the neural processes underpinning spatial navigation faster, easier, more reproducible and more realistic. Give it a go here: shorturl.at/mqP47

🧠👁️Our MindEye2 preprint is out! We reconstruct seen images from fMRI brain activity using only 1 hour of training data. This is possible by first pretraining a shared-subject model using other people's data, then fine-tuning on a held-out subject with only 1 hour of data.🧵

I get to present our poster about two-timeframe monosynaptic rabies tracing and visual system plasticity this afternoon (Wednesday) at #FENS2024, PS02-26PM-137. Come by! 😊😊 MPI for Biological Intelligence Tobias Bonhoeffer TheVoodooMaster Pieter Goltstein

Our preprint is out! During my PhD at the NIN, we studied the role of concept cells (found in the human hippocampus) in language comprehension. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 Poster alert 🚨 Happy to share our science on representational drift in mouse V1 at #FENSForum2024 this afternoon. Drop by at board PS04-27PM-144 to chat :) see you there! Joel Bauer Tobias Bonhoeffer

A supplementary page for our recent work on reconstructing images imagined in the mind from brain activity has now been released. It includes demo code on Google Colab and FAQ for those interested in our research. Please take a look if you are interested. sites.google.com/view/mentalima…

Are you at #SfN24? Check out the posters from our researchers Dario Campagner, Yu Lin Tan, and Joel Bauer today.

If your at #SfN24 and interested in image/movie reconstruction from brain activity come check out my poster PSTR024.03 (board E27) between 13:00 and 17:00 today. 👀🧠

Our study on how to overcome off-target optical stimulation-evoked cortical activity in the mouse brain in vivo is now peer-reviewed published, please see: cell.com/iscience/fullt…

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Our new work on reconstructing visual perception is online as a #NeurIPS paper! "MonkeySee: Space-time-resolved reconstructions of natural images from macaque multi-unit activity" 🧠📷: openreview.net/pdf?id=OWwdlxw… Looking forward to connecting in Vancouver at #NeurIPS2024 !

Early days, but it looks like our authors don't think we need an impact factor either! Submissions are strong in numbers and high quality since the Clarivate announcement. We should not let a multibillion dollar company dictate how science is evaluated!

Our new reconstruction paper using Inverse Receptive Field Attention (IRFA) is online! IRFA reconstructs images and visualizes feature and spatial Inverse Receptive Fields. The architecture does not rely on pre-trained models. 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2501.03051

Amazing work! Looking forward to playing with this model 🤓
