Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

We are excited that our work on inherently interpretable #deeplearning models for #AI for #medicine has been published in @plos.org #digitalhealth! You want to know how to combine the power of deep learning with accessible interpretation? This is for you! ⬇️ journals.plos.org/digitalhealt...

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 Together with Marcus Jeschke and Emilie Mace we are looking for a PhD student to join us for developing AI tools for optogenetic sensory restauration. Apply now: sinzlab.org/positions/20... #PhDposition #AI #Neuroprosthetics #ML #NeuroAI #Hiring

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 We’ve just launched openretina, an open-source framework for collaborative retina modeling across datasets and species. A 🧵👇 (1/9)

Here it is finally: Our mathematical methods book for life scientists! Aimed at advanced undergrads and beginning grad students, plus all those who want a deeper look at the math behind quantitative biology. @portugueslab.bsky.social. 1/3

Our paper on how the neuromodulator nitric oxide modulates a subset of mouse retinal ganglion cells is finally published in @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Great work by @dgonschorek.bsky.social together with the lab of @oliviermarre.bsky.social and @matigoldin.bsky.social, ...

How can the brain make predictions, and signal prediction errors ? Together with Simone Ebert, Thomas Buffet, Bruno Cessac et al, we studied this question in the retina in this paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A thread

I am thrilled to announce that Rich Kramer and I are co-directing a BRAND NEW hands-on visual neuroscience course at the MBL. August 1-16, 2025. Details in this flyer. Trainees please apply. And everyone, please spread the word!

We have a new PhD position available; please spread the word and repost. The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy. See here for more information: retina.uni-goettingen.de/join-the-lab/

New preprint! A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of spontaneous activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Early vision Neuroscience community, Vol 1 We are talking eyes, retinas, and some of the more ancestral bits of visual brains. No species restrictions. List is close to full, will start building Vol 2 before too long Addition requests, please see link in the below thread go.bsky.app/BotZr1g

How natural stimuli lead to highly correlated ganglion cell activity in primate (marmoset) and mouse retina. Now out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social. And, I guess, great opportunity for a first post on this site. #FirstSkeet Very brief summary in this thread. 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
