@neuroinformatics Part 3 will follow next week. In the meantime, you can watch the recording my talk at @FosdemResearch, containing the gist of the whole blog series: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VPJH8F-trusted-by-design/

(YouTube) The Stanford Artificial Retina Project: "Speak the Language" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYRE0TXELzE "Stanford's Artificial Retina Project is advancing next-generation vision restoration by developing a novel retinal implant that can 'speak the language' of the nervous system." […]

RE: https://mastodon.online/@neuroinformatics/115643481413121555 I'll be coordinating the "Animals in Motion" track of this summer school, returning to London in August 2026. Apply to join us for some hands-on learning and collaboration on open-source tools for video behavioural analysis […]

Someone defending their PhD thesis next week slacked the group this morning with this link. https://research.wmz.ninja/projects/phd/index.html #academia

As part of this week-long event, I will be hosting a 2-day “Animals in Motion” workshop in London, with the generous support of @SoftwareSaved. It’s for anyone who wants to get hands-on experience with using open-source software to track animals from video footage and analyse their motion […]

This was among the most fun projects I’ve worked on! Borrowing some methods from MRI and applying them to whole-brain microscopy data of outstanding quality. Check out these beautiful (and magnetoreceptive) bird brains! #anatomy #neuroscience From: @adamltyson […]

Thrilled to share my first main #paper from my #embo #postdoc fellowship that is out today in #FunctionalEcology: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2435.14739 🥳 Read on to learn about the #Evolution of #torpor among #mammals and #birds! 🧵 1/12

I never heard of these whole ass deeply evolutionarily preserved organelles in my cell bio class. Anyone know what these dang things are? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_(organelle)

I wonder if the tools of digital stylometry can detect what people seem to sense when presented with AI-generated text. I don't mean using deep learning to have built up an internalised semantic picture of what type of text LLMs generate, but just purely examining style with eg the count of […]

Didier Raoult now published a 'preprint' claiming I am 'close' to Gates Foundation - citing a France Soir article as the reference. He also suggests that my poor facial recognition skills are linked to autism, with 'serious psychosocial consequences'. What a sad man. hal.science/hal-04795904/

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

The latest piece of my PhD work is now published! Check it out at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08212-3 We explain how correlated responses in the retinal output may arise when nonlinear receptive fields are stimulated with natural scenes. We think […] [Original post on qoto.org]
