Science peeps! Excited to share first of two preprints just uploaded. This one concerns a person who hears sounds when she moves her eyes! We could actually record these sounds and verify they were connected to eye movements 1/ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

If you're interested in emerging ideas in neural interfaces, I humbly suggest my lab's latest: www.nature.com/articles/s42... Neural interfaces create dynamic interactions between the brain & devices. This means mean we need new engineering approaches beyond typical ML to "decode" a static brain

Our NIAAA funded Post-DoctT32 has received its NoA (non competing renewal). Are you looking for a post-doc and interested in joining our amazing center? If so, reach out! Here is a convenient form that you can use to upload CV and a cover letter! unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I am currently recruiting a PhD student to work on our "Motor complexity and aging" project funded by the @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo...

More new results, this time from the amazing Lily Kramer! 🎉 “Sequential experience reshapes population representations in visual cortex” doi.org/10.64898/202... Visual experience unfolds in time. We asked how temporal structure reshapes population activity in visual cortex. 🧪🧵1/

I’m excited to share my newest work with @benhayden.bsky.social, and the work I’m most proud of to date, on characterizing semantic coding in single-neuron hippocampal activity in patients with autism during natural language comprehension! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Meet Sarah Heilbronner, a neuroanatomist building wiring diagrams to understand the structure of pathways in the brain. 🧠#AskaNeuroscientist @srheilbronner.bsky.social

New lab paper! 🧠 Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements. plos.io/4dwJhR8 Huge congrats to Humza & team! 👏

very fun, rejuvenating (…hopeful?) story by Brian Howe “At least in the Triangle, college radio is the crux of the local community, and I think it can be a resistant tool within universities, or at least that’s how a lot of my friends have approached it.”

To accommodate applicants and PIs attending Cosyne, we’ve extended the MCN application deadline to Sunday, Mar 22. Please repost.

Join our next Computational and Digital Health Seminar with Dan Ma on Quantitative MRI and Physics-informed Pan-Contrast AI. Register here: duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Amazing, glad the @rolfslab.bsky.social did this, and so well! One of those expts I've been doing informally with my own afterimages for years and always meant to study in detail - as I'm sure is the case for a lot of vision researchers. Hope we hear more about it next summer at Eye Movements GRC!

A new Department of Cognitive Science is being created at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. Here is the call for a cluster hire (for around 10 faculty) in all areas of cognitive science, at both junior and senior levels: www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty-a... Deadline: May 4th, 2026

I tracked every keyword in 22 years of Cosyne abstracts to map how computational neuroscience evolved — from Bayesian brains to neural manifolds to LLMs — and where it's heading next.

Neuroscientist who is great with new media and cares about scientific rigor? DM me. We want to hire someone like you (part time).

Super cool

End of week mental reset

Can electrical microstimulation be used to steer cortical population activity on- and off-manifold? Our new preprint says yes — using data-driven control in macaque PFC. Joint work with @gbarzon.bsky.social, Anandita De, Isaac Moran, Conner Carnahan, and Luca Mazzucato.

🪄Using my CA girl powers to summon up some sunny weather for the inaugural Neuroscience of Social Behavior GRC! Welcome attendees!

Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test? In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers. nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

NYU's Center for Neural Science is seeking a faculty candidate that would be jointly appointed with our Tandon School of Engineering. We are looking for post-doc applicants with neuroengineering or computational backgrounds. apply.interfolio.com/182074

New preprint from the lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Discovering macroscale functional organization on the structure of brain-like recurrent neural networks

So proud this multi-year effort is finally out. Led by my exceptional collaborator Joanna Buchthal, who put her blood, sweat, and literal tears into making a real impact for communities impacted by Lyme disease. bit.ly/MAT-tracking More papers soon. Learn more & support: miceagainstticks.com

So happy to announce my first published paper: Neuropixels reveal laminar microcircuit organization in monkey V1 in vivo www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Another reminder as we've crossed into the second half of February. There's still time to apply for the Neurobiology Chair position at Duke University! Just send in a letter of interest and CV by Feb 28. Love of Duke basketball is not required.

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative. It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇 www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...

🧪🧠 New preprint: helping resolve a decades-long debate in synaptic plasticity NMDA receptors are central to Hebbian learning. Yet for >30 years, the existence and function of presynaptic NMDA receptors have remained controversial. 📄 doi.org/10.64898/202... 1/6

What if arrhythmia care moved from detecting events to anticipating risk? I spoke with Jodie Elrod and the EP Lab Digest team about how cardiovascular digital twins could inform prediction and personalized decisions.

One day online conference on the ways behavioral and neural sciences can inform peace efforts. Organized by Duke's amazing @felipedebrigard.bsky.social Free! Tomorrow! (Fri Feb 6). To register see link below. behavioralscientist.org/program-neur...

Great news for our collective sanity 😐

Excited to share our open-access work exploring a different approach to treating multiple sclerosis: inducing antigen-specific immune tolerance rather than broadly suppressing the immune system. Pub: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Substack: go.unc.edu/SStStiepelMS

And that's only intramural 😔

we're hiring! looking for a systems neuroscientist with extracellular ephys experience please share! link below, feel free to DM with questions

This is such a cool idea! Not long term "networks" of young profs that create and cement in in-groups and out-groups, but summer schools, tailored to the acute needs of the young PI. Transient, but tailored, tidal and totally timeous, too. Terrific. Try today!

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Thus far, engineering has outpaced theory in the science of intelligence. But Tomaso Poggio is hopeful that theories can catch up. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...
