🚀 We’re excited to announce the opening of idpIN, an innovative PhD program designed to train the next generation of neuroscientists to address cutting-edge questions in neuroscience.

The University of California is advising scientists applying for residency not to publish in eLife - the journal because it doesn’t have an impact factor, despite zero evidence this matters, and proving once again that the biggest problems in science and academia are entirely of our own making.

Pressure from universities to not submit to elife because of Clarivate not assigning an impact factor is nuts. For some time now, I've been looking at papers' individual impact factors on Google Scholar - very revealing

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

The ClopathLab has a fully funded PhD position open for Oct in Computational Neuroscience at Imperial College London. If you are interested, just send us an informal e-mail!

🚀 Fellowship applications are OPEN for Encode: AI for Science. What if you could use AI to - Design shape-shifting robots - See through solid materials - Decode language of the brain - Create advanced materials

Looking for an exciting fellowship in neuroAI, with competitive salary (~£100k)? Our group is hiring for a project on AI for Systems-Behavioral Neuroscience, more info here: encode.pillar.vc/projects/behav… #compneuro #neuroai #neuroscience #ai

Science is under threat in the US. @elife have commissioned a series of articles discussing the implications and what we can do. The first three articles are now live. More to follow: elifesciences.org/articles/106702 elifesciences.org/articles/106704 elifesciences.org/articles/106710

Are you training self-supervised/foundation models, and worried if they are learning good representations? We got you covered! 💪 🦖Introducing Reptrix, a #Python library to evaluate representation quality metrics for neural nets: github.com/BARL-SSL/reptr… 🧵👇[1/6] #DeepLearning

Encode: AI for Science projects range neural decoding, AI scientists, materials design, plant engineering, human cognition... Lots of people have been reaching out to learn more. Come hear from our academic advisors directly! We'll be hosting live Q&A every day next week.

How does our brain predict the future? Our review of predictive processing + research program is now on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2504.09614 50+ neuroscientists distributed across the world worked together to create this unique community project.

Registration is open for UK Neural Computation 2025 Imperial, London! neuralcomputation.uk/registration.h… ECR day: 9 July, ~30 free places Main meeting: 10-11 July Pls share! Sponsors ARIA (Jacques Carolan) The Francis Crick Institute Organisers: Danyal Dan Goodman & me

Lots of people are interested in leveraging the Encode: AI for Science fellowship to start a startup. Next week we’ll have a virtual info session on how we’ll help fellows start leading companies. Join us!

Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Reminder that deadline for applying for our Encode: AI for (neuro)Science fellowship is coming up (30th!) encode.pillar.vc/apply

I'm looking for 2 Research Assistants for 1-year positions to investigate biophysical mechanisms of learning (finally the formal procedures are open for applications)

We will be hosting a public kick-off for the data collection phase of the OpenScope Predictive processing community project. All are welcome to join! Tuesday, May 6, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM (PST) 🧵

Hello World: My team at FAIR / AI at Meta (AI Research Agent) is looking to hire contractors across software engineering and ML. If you are interested and based in the UK, please fill in the following short EoI form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on developing sensory cortex is now live Nature Communications We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT & neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction.

Our preprint is finally out! How can we understand the role of Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity in credit assignment? Does it fit into existing supervised and unsupervised learning frameworks? What theoretical gaps are still left unexplained? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
