On 3 June at 11 am/5 pm CEST I am organizing a webinar for (soon-to-be) postdocs in computational neuroscience. Get to know my work and meet my group if you are looking for a postdoc position! Register at events.hifis.net/event/2649/ (11 am) or events.hifis.net/event/2674/ (5 pm).

In this new study we show that cortical resting-state activity is hierarchically organized 🧠 Cool work by @aitormg.bsky.social

If you need to compare matrices or two-dimensional data that can be brought into matrix form, consider using Singular Angle Similarity: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

The NEST virtual conference is gearing up! Join us June 17-18, 2025 for a chance to exchange ideas and learn about developments in simulation science! Interested in contributing? The abstract submission deadline has been extended to **April 30**. Visit nest-simulator.org/conference. #nestsim

BREAKING: We are suing the Trump admin on behalf of our members for unlawfully cutting off $400 million in federal funding for crucial public health research to force Columbia University to surrender its academic independence. Stay Tuned.

DAY 6: Advent of Comp Neuro 🎄🤖🧠🧪 This nifty theory predicts how intrinsic timescales depend on network structure, neuron properties and input. A nontrivial task! “Microscopic theory of intrinsic timescales in spiking neural networks” tinyurl.com/43esfrrk By @avm.bsky.social and @albada.bsky.social

If you are interested in neural manifolds, dimensionality, brain states, and/or top-down modulation you are gonna like this one! 🧠🙈💫🧪 "Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region" doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Also enjoy this animation :) #SciArt #neuroskyence

It is now possible to model neuron-astrocyte interactions using the NEST simulator. Check out our latest preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wow, so many new followers! Is there a huge X-odus going on?

How do we fix academia's air travel problem? I've been declining invites in order to avoid flying and it feels weird at first but in my experience, organizers are very understanding and many will allow a virtual presentation. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #academiasky

This randomly popped up in my feed, and I've got to share it since it's just such a "never even thought about this" kind of paper: www.cell.com/cell-reports... Neuron membrane capacitance oscillates wildly during the day?! 🧪🧠

Fellow dudes. We eat a lot of beef. Eating less beef and more of nearly anything else would greatly reduce the climate impacts of our food choices. And we can still be manly men.

That's what Erdoğan's been doing in Turkey. I definitely do not recommend. It's heartbreaking watch everything that's been happening at my alma mater in recent years. Academically unqualified, state appointed bureaucrats gradually replacing admin and faculty ranks; faculty getting purged...

Episode #18 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On electric brain signals – solo episode theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn18 Electric brain signals (spikes, LFP, ECoG, EEG) are typically modeled statistically. But biophysical forward modeling starting with neurons is an alternative.

If you're new to Bluesky, you should know that since there's no algorithm the Like button is exclusively for *you.* It doesn't help a post move or spread. If you want to help spread people's work (especially creators whose work you enjoy) YOU HAVE TO RESKEET.

What's with the Bluesky algorithm? Despite having indicated about 30 times that I'm not interested in posts of people saying they're supposed to write a manuscript or are writing or editing a book, or asking for book suggestions, this is the main kind of post it keeps feeding me.

How I hope that this platform really takes off so X and thereby Elon Musk loses influence
