A 🍍 spotted in the wild at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social! Great crash course on neuro data processing with @pynapple.bsky.social and @spikeinterface.bsky.social delivered by @matthiashennig6.bsky.social, @wulfdewolf.bsky.social and Chris Halcrow. So nice to see both libraries working so well together

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

We present our preprint on ViV1T, a transformer for dynamic mouse V1 response prediction. We reveal novel response properties and confirm them in vivo. With @wulfdewolf.bsky.social, Danai Katsanevaki, @arnoonken.bsky.social, @rochefortlab.bsky.social. Paper and code at the end of the thread! 🧵1/7

Finally preprinted! TL;DR: thalamic head-direction neurons can shape their activity regardless of input. Big thanks to @apeyrache.bsky.social and master experimentalist @sskromne.bsky.social .

New workshop! Just before SFN, join the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Neuroscience of the Simons Foundation for a workshop on pynapple and NeMoS. Learn how to use these open-source packages to analyze and model neural data! Accommodation & meals provided. Link ⬇️

Excited to share our new pre-print on bioRxiv, in which we reveal that feedback-driven motor corrections are encoded in small, previously missed neural signals.

New paper from the lab: feedback from piriform cortex to the olfactory bulb carries identity and reward contingency signals in a multimodal (odor and sound) rule-reversal task. Feedback is re-formatted within seconds and reflects changes in the perceived rules of engagement. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

We are pleased to be partnering with The UKRI AI CDT in Biomedical Innovation at the School of Informatics (University of Edinburgh). These PhD projects have a strong translational focus and seek to develop & apply AI approaches to biomedical domains ✨. Apply by 20 Jan www.ai4biomed.io/how-to-apply/

Check our latest work towards understanding learning and local plasticity in the brain with @matthiashennig6.bsky.social at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social 🧠 Published in a @neuripsconf.bsky.social workshop this year. Now out on arxiv - arxiv.org/abs/2501.02402

Both the people and the environment at CSHL made my summer there the best I've ever had. If you want to learn about neuroscience<->AI and meet interesting people, it would be a waste not to apply! for better visibility: video of the Olney house woodpecker that made sure I was up on time every day

PhD project! For those interested in NeuroAI: "Using large scale neural network models to bridge the translational gap from animal models to human insights in autism spectrum and neurodevelopmental disorders" Apply here: www.ai4biomed.io/research/pro...

Now! Or more likely, people should change what they think place cells mean.
