⏳ One week left to submit your abstract! Join us in Padova for the 2025 Italian Network of Computational Neuroscience Conference 🧠🇮🇹 📅 Deadline: 14 June Share your research and engage with the computational neuroscience community! #INNC2025 #Neuroscience #CallForAbstracts

Excited to share my PhD paper! In it, we use targeted 2-photon optogenetic stimulation to determine how V1 activity is read-out in a detection task. We found that network influence, not visual coding properties, predicted the impact of ensembles on behavior - contradicting our expectations (1/5).

Because we must build good things while we scream about the bad, I have started a "Data for Good" team @data-for-good-team.bsky.social that partners with organizations needing short-term data science help. We have three projects ongoing & will add more as our capacity grows. data-for-good-team.org

Please RT🙏 Reach out if you want to help understand cognition by modelling, analyzing and/or collect large scale intracortical data from 👩🐒🐁 We're a friendly, diverse group (n>25) w/ this terrace 😎 in the center of Paris! See👇 for + info about the lab We have funding to support your application!

Dynamics days europe 2025, Thessaloniki 23-27, June 2025 MS4: Neural Dynamics Across Spatiotemporal Scales: ... Organisers: T. Manos, A. Torcini, A. Provata, Astero The program of our MS (25-26/6/2025) is online #compneurosky #neuroskyence websites.auth.gr/ddeu2025/

Re-posting is appreciated: We have a fully funded PhD position in CMC lab @cmc-lab.bsky.social (at @tudresden_de). You can use forms.gle/qiAv5NZ871kv... to send your application and find more information. Deadline is April 30. Find more about CMC lab: cmclab.org and email me if you have questions.

Out now 'in print'--- a true labor of love, in more ways than one. See the paper and press-release below! Also, go and see @matthijspals.bsky.social's talk at #Cosyne, where he will talk about related/follow up work! uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/...

It's finally out! Visual experience orthogonalizes visual cortical responses Training in a visual task changes V1 tuning curves in odd ways. This effect is explained by a simple convex transformation. It orthogonalizes the population, making it easier to decode. 10.1016/j.celrep.2025.115235

New preprint: "The geometry of the neural state space of decisions", work by Mauro Monsalve-Mercado, buff.ly/42wVHD5. Surprising results & predictions! (Thread) We analyze neuropixel population recordings in macaque area LIP during a reaction time, random-dot motion 1/

What's the right way to think about modularity in the brain? This devilish 😈 question is a big part of my research now, and it started with this paper with @solarpunkgabs.bsky.social, finally published after the first preprint in 2021! 🤖🧠🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very cool paper by Emily Oby and colleagues: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Interesting insights into the flexibility (or lack thereof) of neural dynamics for motor control
