‼️JOB ALERT‼️- please retweet We are looking for 1 PhD candidate to join our team Universität München. If you are interested in #sleep and #memory, please do get in touch! Schreiner-lab.com 1/3

Thrilled to announce that our work on the role of ripples in memory reactivation during human NREM sleep has been published in Nature Communications. With the amazing @t_staudigl, @b_j_griffiths, and Merve Kutlu nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/13 Heavily updated preprint! arxiv.org/abs/2209.11737 We show that the contextual information encoded in Large Language Models (LLMs) is beneficial for modelling the complex visual information extracted by the brain from natural scenes. 🧵

Activism in Science works. Super happy to see that this #SupportOurScience movement has helped changed lives of current and future PhDs and Postdocs in Academia. "Canada just hiked PhD and postdoc pay — here’s how to get your country to do it, too" nature.com/articles/d4158…

Hippocampal ripples during offline periods predict human motor sequence learning. Work led by the brilliant @PinChun_Chen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting work by Marcel Kehl showing single-neuron representations of odours in the human brain

I’ll be recruiting 1-2 graduate students for Fall 2025 to work on visual learning generalization in humans and artificial neural networks. If you’re interested, apply! Check out our lab website (snailab.ca) and reach out if you need more info. RT please.

1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of Doris Tsao and Ueli Rutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

From learning to memory-guided action - new work led by the truly outstanding Philipp Büchel authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

"Rethinking category-selectivity in human visual cortex" with Susan Wardle Maryam Vaziri-Pashkam Dwight Kravitz Chris Baker 1/3

"Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results" w Xiaoliang (Ken) Luo and BrainGPT.org. LLMs integrate a noisy yet interrelated scientific literature to forecast outcomes. nature.com/articles/s4156… 1/8

New post! What do brain scores teach us about brains? Does accounting for variance in the brain mean that an ANN is brain-like? 1/

Sleep spindles can be experimentally moved across the brain! In our new study, Jude Thom shows how spindles during sleep track cortical hot spots created during wake with transcranial electrical stimulation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨🚨 New Dataset out! Today we release the THINGS Ventral-stream Spiking Dataset (TVSD) to become part of Martin Hebart's THINGS initiative! In a Neuron paper out today with Feng Wang, Matthew Self and Pieter Roelfsema, we describe the dataset in detail More info 👇

Now out in Trends in Neurosciences: We discuss how the contents of visual perception, imagery, and prediction can be decoded from rhythmic brain activity and argue that such rhythmic representations offer new insights into neural information propagation.

Two new studies from our team we're particularly happy about Study 1: Brain-to-Text Decoding: ai.meta.com/research/publi… Study 2: From Thought to Action: ai.meta.com/research/publi… Blog: ai.meta.com/blog/brain-ai-…

Wanna know about sensory & memory representations in visual cortex? After integrating the wisdom from several reviewers (and clever comments from 2 more reviewers at #elife still to go), this paper is now officially out: elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… (tweeprint below)

I'll be moving, like many more, to Bluesky. You can find me there at @simonfsoubeyrand.bsky.social . Looking forward to connect over there!
