The detailed schedule for the #BernsteinConference is now available on our website. Check out the Invited Talks and Contributed Talks and start planning your conference visit! 👉 bernstein-network.de/bernstein-co... #BernsteinNetwork #CompNeuro

We were asked to write a commentary on NeuroAI for Nat. Rev. Neuro. with Sadra Sadeh, so here it is: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

⏳ Register for the #BernsteinConference by July 30 and secure the early-bird fees! Register here 👉 bernstein-network.de/bernstein-co...

Trying to train RNNs in a biol plausible (local) way? Well, try our new method using predictive alignment. Paper just out in Nat. Com. Toshitake Asabuki deserves all the credit! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/ Mapping synaptic connectivity between individual neurons is extremely laborious. We developed BRISC, a new method that makes it possible to map inputs onto 100s of neurons in the same animal in a matter of weeks! Led by Alex Becalick and @antblot.bsky.social. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Together with #AIMS, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, we have an exciting position to fill: The AIMS - Tübingen Junior Research Chair in Machine Learning for Science! 1/2

Undecided whether to attend the #BernsteinConference2025 ? @ackurth.bsky.social and myself put together a stellar lineup for a satellite workshop on the effects of top-down signals on neuronal dynamics! 🧠✨📣 bernstein-network.de/bernstein-co...

Here is your last reminder that the application deadline for Imbizo.Africa is nearing quickly, the 1st of July, in fact tomorrow. Still the place where diversity is at its best in the world! Tell all who need to hear. #africa #neuro

⏰ Last minute reminder! Only 48 hours left to submit your contributed talk abstracts for the #BernsteinConference 2025! 🗓️ Deadline: June 17, 15:00 CEST All information and submission form 👉 bernstein-network.de/bernstein-co...

PhD/Postdoc position in Computational Neuroscience at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (UZH and ETH Zürich): we are investigating the neural circuits underlying perception and learning in uncertain environments: www.ini.uzh.ch/en/research/... #PhD #ComputationalNeuroscience #UZHZurich #ETHZurich

I'm excited to announce that my lab's open textbook on Scientific Computing for Cognitive Neuroscience (v1.0) has just gone live! Our goal is to help mend the gap between the computational skills needed by cognitive neuroscience, and typical curricula that don't yet include it. 1/3

🛰️ The selected Satellite Workshops of the #BernsteinConference 2025 are now listed on our website! Take a look 👉 bernstein-network.de/bernstein-co...

How should you combine sensory inputs with your internal predictions? Well, use uncertainty directly computed by your prediction-error circuits. Cool? Check out our Nat. Com. paper with Loreen Hertäg and @k47h4.bsky.social . www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Abstract submission is open for the 34th Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting CNS*2025 in Florence, Italy, July 5-9, 2025! Submit your abstract latest TOMORROW, March 15th: www.cnsorg.org/cns-2...

📆 updated for 2025: list of summer schools & short courses in the realm of (computational) neuroscience or data analysis of EEG / MEG / LFP: google sheet 🔗 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

My lab is looking for a computational neuroscience postdoctoral researcher: www.ru.nl/en/working-a... Come join us at the @dondersinst.bsky.social!

at the moment, lots of people from around here are looking for jobs. behavioral/cognitive/systems neuro, experimental/computational – if you are hiring, feel free to send me ads and I will distribute. 🙂

RA positions with potential PhD continuation are now open! We're seeking two candidates with slice patch clamp or programming skills for the projects outlined in the advert: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50040/ Apply by 21 February!

Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost “reward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interested in theoretical neuroscience or machine learning but come from a non-quantitative background? This summer school is for you! Learn the foundational theory needed to excel in a quantitative PhD in 7 weeks. Apply by feb 7!

Super excited about NeurIPS@Paris! Tomorrow, I will give a talk on our generalization of the neural tangent kernel to surrogate gradient learning. If you cannot make it to Paris, check out our work here: openreview.net/forum?id=kfd... @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeurIPS2024

🚨Preprint alert🚨 In an amazing collaboration with @lucasgruaz.bsky.social, S Becker, & J Brea, we explored a major puzzle in #neuroscience & #psychology: **What are the merits of curiosity?** 🧠🧑‍🔬🧪 osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/7
