1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Preprint - Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So happy to see this work out! 🥳 Huge thanks to our two amazing reviewers who pushed us to make the paper much stronger. A truly joyful collaboration with @lucasgruaz.bsky.social, @sobeckerneuro.bsky.social, and Johanni Brea! 🥰 Tweeprint on an earlier version: bsky.app/profile/modi... 🧠🧪👩‍🔬

New preprint...and this one is truly EPIC 🚨. Using a large group of patients with depression and healthy controls (N>800), we show differences in the functional segregation of insular subnetworks. And we can use it to classify! Led by @glassybrain.bsky.social #neuroskyence 🩺 osf.io/preprints/ps...

My PhD journey has officially come to end with a Summa Cum Laude, thanks to all the amazing people who’ve supported me along the way, especially my advisors Anna Levina and @engeltatiana.bsky.social! Which apparently coincided with graduation from a witchcraft and wizardry school 😉 #neuroskyence

#CCN2025 is starting tomorrow in Amsterdam, and our lab is presenting and contributing in several ways. A summary thread:

We'll also tell you about real foraging, and also fancier RL models ;-) A wonderful collaboration with @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social , Peter Dayan and @alleninstitute.org. bsky.app/profile/roxa...

Looking forward to all the inspiration and fun at #CCN2025. If you’re interested in brain connectivity, efficient Neuro-AI, and game theory, I might have the right poster for you. We found that the brain is not optimally wired, but better wiring taxes robustness. Tuesday, A177.

Excited about #CCN2025 and sharing our research in @cmc-lab.bsky.social!

Hi, we will have three NeuroAI postdoc openings (3 years each, fully funded) to work with Sebastian Musslick (@musslick.bsky.social), Pascal Nieters and myself on task-switching, replay, and visual information routing. Reach out if you are interested in any of the above, I'll be at CCN next week!

Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, biomed engineering, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2

In neuroscience, we often try to understand systems by analyzing their representations — using tools like regression or RSA. But are these analyses biased towards discovering a subset of what a system represents? If you're interested in this question, check out our new commentary! Thread:

Coming March 17, 2026! Just got my advance copy of Emergence — a memoir about growing up in group homes and somehow ending up in neuroscience and AI. It’s personal, it’s scientific, and it’s been a wild thing to write. Grateful and excited to share it soon.

📣 We are expanding! Repost 🙏🏽 - Postdoc (funded by @simonsfoundation.org grant on synchronisation between cognitive representations and stepping) - Project Associates - Create your role! (Reach out if you are keen on these topics and these roles do not define you 👀🤗) www.neuroact.in

New preprint on how neural network architecture shapes function. Wide range of architectures, and family of tasks with components of navigation, decision making under uncertainty, multimodal integration and memory. Performance best explained by "computational traits" like sensitivity and memory.

Fantastic new work from our very own @alegrecortes.bsky.social ! Stay tuned for even more cool stuff!

In our Learning Club @cmc-lab.bsky.social today in ~2h (July 31st, Thursday, 2 PM CET), Jonathan Kasdin will tell us about his recent @nature.com paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). If you'd like to attend, send an empty email to [email protected] to get the link!

Ok, reinforcement learning fans: RL is great, but what do we do when there's no obvious reward from the environment? What about perfecting a golf swing or a foxtrot or a musical performance? We may have an answer. A tale of 🐦 🎶 + 🧠. 🧵1/ #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #neuroai #compneuro

SCMs often assume overly-dense causal graphs in dynamic settings 👉⚽🥎, since any object interaction is a potential causal edge, making them hard to scale. In joint work with @turanorujlu.bsky.social @cgumbsch.bsky.social & Martin Butz we propose a new Causal Process Model to tackle this. Thread👇
