New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

At #NeurIPS in San Diego and interested in #NeuroAI? Today in the🕐11am-2pm session, I will present our work on brain-inspired continual learning via TMCL (📍Poster 2206), with Emre Neftci and @dlg-ai.bsky.social. Say hi or DM me if you want to chat about continual, local or modular learning!

The perfect wrap up for an awesome time at #SfN25. Thanks to everyone for all the great impressions and discussions. It was wonderful meeting such cool and nice people! @apeyrache.bsky.social @adrian-du.bsky.social @anujvadher.bsky.social & Paul Dudchenko

👋 At #SfN25? Interested in how head-direction cells anchor to visual cues? 🧠 Come visit me Tuesday Morning (8am - 12pm) 📍 Poster RR15 showing work w/ @adrian-du.bsky.social on parallax in PoSub and what we learn from it for visual cue integration. Come say hi or DM for a coffee chat! ☕️ #Neurosky

Great to be back at SfN in San Diego, even though the weather gods have decided to go full 'Scottish summer' this year 🌧️ If you're here and you're into spatial navigation do check out the posters below 👇 [1/n]

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

I love open science! Not only is this absolutely brilliant work on how time and events are encoded in LEC, it is also a crazy rich dataset and it's just available to everyone! Thank you so much for sharing the recordings, I can't wait to play around with it!

Very proud to have presented our work on modeling cognitive maps and episodic memory at the GEM conference today! @for2812.bsky.social Check out our preprint to learn more about how you can bring together semantic and spatial information with our grid-cell-VSA model arxiv.org/abs/2503.08608

Very excited to get the opportunity to give a talk at GEM2025 on how we combine spatial and semantic information to form episodic memories. See you in beautiful Bochum :)

Very proud to announce the first paper for my PhD: Grid Cell-Inspired Vector Algebra: Bridging the Brain's Navigation System with Symbolic Reasoning. Unifying spatial and symbolic computation! Happy to be in Heidelberg next week, presenting this at NICE. arxiv.org/abs/2503.08608 #NICE2025

I was curious about the wonky AI overview results being delivered by Google search, so I looked at this a bit further. "What is heavier: an elephant or an elephant with an ant on its back?"

Re-reading classic papers from the 1940s, I have to say... introductions were different back then

OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019). The renamed: Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)
