I’m looking for a postdoc to join my lab University of Sydney for a project investigating how perception changes during walking (VR, psychophysics, EEG, AI). Full time, 3 years fixed-term position; full details here: usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_… Please repost 🥹

🚀 It’s finally out! A must-read on transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS), led by top experts, including Keith Murphy, Til Ole Bergmann and many others! The best guide (with great graphics)! 📷#TUS #BrainStimulation doi.org/10.1016/j.clin…

📰Today the BNA has released an open letter to research #funders highlighting the urgent need for action to protect #preclinical neuroscience research in the UK. Read the report & open letter to funders here: tinyurl.com/464zezam #researchpolicy #sciencepolicy

New (short) paper investigating how the in-context inductive biases of vision-language models — the way that they generalize concepts learned in context — depend on the modality and phrasing! 1/4

We're looking for an exceptional computational neuroscientist to join my team at Opto in Cambridge, UK. If you're passionate about combining computational modelling with lots of amazing data to develop cutting-edge neurotechnology then apply now! tinyurl.com/4kj5yzt8

🚨Published today, British Neuroscience Association report and open letter to #funders in defence of preclinical / fundamental neuroscience. 🧠 Pleased to sign the open letter along with Prof Tara Spires-Jones Walton Lab Cathy Abbott.

Yay! See you at this year's VSS Meeting! Excited to bring together my undergrad advisors (Yan Bao, Ernst Pöppel) and Zane Icon-lab in one project. With a fun set of abstract paintings by contemporary artist LaoZhu, we found that lower activation in DNNs predict higher beauty.

Very happy that this work is now published in eLife! We find that humans are unique in the way they encode pairs of stimuli, in the context of symbol-object relations. If you've learned that A->B, you spontaneously generalize it to B->A! The full story : elifesciences.org/articles/87380

"Coordinating multiple mental faculties during learning" There's lots of good work in object recognition and learning, but how do we integrate the two? Here's a proposal and model that is more interactive than perception provides the inputs to cognition. nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨Fully funded PhD opportunity at QMUL, London!🚨 Join us to explore optogenetic control of visual perception. Open to UK nationals & UK-ILR residents. Please share! 👇 🔗 shorturl.at/77f6U

We have a postdoc-position at the institute de la Vision to develop high density recordings throughout the monkey brain. For information about the position and the application procedure, see institut-vision.org/en/job-offers/…..

20+ years ago, an idea about cortical lateralization of audition was advanced: asymmetric sampling in time AST. This extensive review/reevaluation by chantaloderbolz, me, and Martin Meyer assesses how the idea has fared. #notallwrong sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The call is out! Up to three years of a generously funded postdoc fellowship in Israel. DM me if you'd like to work on an application together. azrielifoundation.org/azrieli-fellow…

New preprint (#neuroscience #deeplearning doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…)! We trained 20 DCNNs on 941235 images with varying scene segmentation (original. object-only, silhouette, background-only). Despite object recognition varying (27-53%), all networks showed similar EEG prediction.

A nice first day. Excited to start at the great CiNet CiNet (Center for Information and Neural Networks)! Looking forward to meeting everybody and to start building the lab!

NSD has profoundly shaped vision science. Inspired by it, we combined fMRI and Neuropixels to build a macaque dataset with 1,000 natural images. We’re excited to share Triple-N and welcome feedback from the community!

Our new discovery reveals how anesthesia causes unconsciousness. This advances our understanding of consciousness and can help make anesthesia safer.

Dear MAGA friends, I have been worrying about STEM in the US a lot, because right now the Senate is writing new laws that cut 75% of the STEM budget in the US. Sorry for the long post, but the issue is really important, and I want to share what I know about it. The entire
