I don’t mean to be all political, but I’m opposed to fascism

The same people who freaked out about having to wear masks are totally fine with curfews and martial law.

Monkeys can overcome aversion to animated monkey faces in the "uncanny valley" through a more realistic avatar, according to new #eNeuro research from Universität Tübingen. How new research into the uncanny valley effect can help improve studies of social behavior: eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Blake Porter 🐀 Neuralink Totally. I still think they are mostly integrators, putting research grade ideas into industry grade packages.

2 postdoc positions available in NHP electrophysiol., together with Profs. Tirin Moore (Stanford) & Joni Wallis (Berkeley) in neurophysiology. Using specially modified Neuropixels for primates (Primatepixels) as part of a new NIH BRAIN RO1. shenoy.people.stanford.edu/group

OK, I finally did twitter. If you're interested in a postdoc position as part of a UT/UCSD team involving ephys in freely-moving marmosets, natural image stats, and the sorts of continuous-time behavioral analysis and GLM-based analysis of neural data we do, buzz me.

Before mice open their eyes, their retinas are filled with "synthetic data", spontaneous neural activity that simulates the optic flow pattern generated by forward self-motion. This "pretraining" has causal benefits for motion detection behavior. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to have another piece of my graduate work with David Freedman posted on bioRxiv! How does the lateral intraparietal area’s (LIP) involvement in stimulus selection change across two different cognitive contexts? doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… 🧵 1/8

Incredible work by my PhD lab, especially by @j_liska ! Marmosets open a lot of experimental doors to bring rodent techniques to a primate brain.

I am awed and excited by all the incredible marmoset research I got to see at INT Marmobrain ! We at Ripple Neuro are committed to supporting marmoset electrophysiology!

Ultraflexible large electrode arrays allow dense volumetric recordings of thousands of neurons over months (1000 neural units/mm3). Movie shows 1024-channel array implanted in a mouse visual cortex. Zhao et al. Lan Luan Chong Xie Rice Neuroengineering Initiative rdcu.be/cWPoC

Come visit the Ripple Neuro/Neuromed booths at #SfN2022 ! We've got a wide variety of electrophysiology solutions, particularly for multi-unit recordings, flexible electrical stimulation, and untethered ephys experiments in both humans and animals!

I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT UCLA Health David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
