Mark Goldman will present computational models of interacting cortical and nuclear plasticity and propose a metaplasticity mechanism that adaptively tunes spike-timing-dependent plasticity at the parallel fiber–Purkinje cell synapse. This is a zoom talk: all are welcome

NeuroBridges brings together students from the countries of the middle east to learn about the brain, and each other. Applications are now open. neurobridges.net/upcoming

🧨 Preprint alert Is it easier to find a ball than a shoe? The answer lies in how variable we think these objects are in the real-world. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... w/ the amazing @dkaiserlab.bsky.social & @luchunyeh.bsky.social 🦄 🧵1/8

Check out our new preprint! 🎉 We demonstrate that real-world object search is shaped by both objects’ inherent variability and searchers’ individual priors, using a new approach that combines human drawings with DNN representational similarity analysis. ✍️🖥️👀

Check out our latest preprint: In naturalistic (virtual) scenes, we tested how spatial (proximity to anchor) and cognitive (scene semantics) factors influence allocentric representations of local target objects in a memory-guided placement task: 👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Final paper of my PhD 🤗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making. However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

🚀🎓We have exciting opportunities at the PhD and Postdoc level, including in the new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience, a 10-year initiative spanning a powerful international network of labs working across species and disciplines - please reach out if interested bsky.app/profile/simo...

Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

I’m excited to share the first preprint from my PhD project! Together with Daniel Kaiser (@dkaiserlab.bsky.social), we investigated how internal models shape inter-individual differences in the perception and neural processing of natural scenes. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n

For the oculomotor nerds out there… we’re excited to share our paired papers on precerebellar circuitry! These two studies look at how internuclear pathways talk to the cerebellum and what that means for eye movement control. 👀🧠 #neuroskyence #science

We have a great group of speakers lined up for our @yorku-cian.bsky.social / CSBBCS satellite symposium on 'Cognition and Action', June 4,5 '26 in Toronto. Calls for poster abstracts coming soon. www.yorku.ca/research/cia...

Also it's time to keep pushing. Sign our open letter and adapt it for your university and country! Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia 6/n openletter.earth/open-letter-...

“The deskilling, denigration, and displacement of teachers and scholars have historically been central to fascist takeovers, since educators serve as bulwarks against propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and illiteracy.” — @olivia.science www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a...

Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...

Check out our preprint review of 'Cortical Mechanisms for Transsaccadic Vision: Extrinsic and Intrinsic Feature Updating', based largely on the PhD work of @bbaltaretu.bsky.social. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Last day of #ECVP tomorrow (Thursday). And at 8.30 I’ll be introducing what promises to be a coherent and lively symposium on how visual representations are held in mind. In the Audimax, with Maria Servetnik, @tbchristophel.bsky.social, Clay Curtis, and @bradpostle.bsky.social

Sara finished her 2nd week of radiotherapy. She’s felt a few side effects, and there’s always a lurking anxiety about complications. Sara’s sister has written a short piece on some of the challenges we’ve been facing, and how you can help also beyond our specific case. ♥️ medium.com/@Susana_hawk...

The Research Office at my university wrote about @applylab.bsky.social’s ERSTPP grant!

Come and join our team in this fabulous project 🧠👇

I just gave a lecture on "Higher visual cortex" to undergrads and I covered the 5 topics below. Now I need to suggest readings. Arghh. All I have is for grad students or beyond! Any suggestions for an undergrad textbook? I loved "From Neuron to Brain" and "Neurons and Networks" but they're old.

Really looking forward to discussing the operation of size constancy in visual perception and visually guided action as part of the Psychonomic Society's One World Seminar Series on Feb 26 at 11:15am to 1pm Eastern Time. 🧪🧠 Abstract and registration here. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
