🧠 Scientists shot lasers into brain cells to uncover how illusions work. This study, published in @natneuro.nature.com, was supported by the @alleninstitute.org’s OpenScope program and could help us better understand neuropsychiatric disorders. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3Kb0Ute #Neuroscience

Thank you @fox13seattle.bsky.social for sharing a recent #OpenScope study on the science of illusions! @hyeyoungshin.bsky.social shared how this research helps the world better understand how schizophrenia and other mental conditions work. 🧠📈

Open science is more than just datasets. It's also opening access to scientific facilities and pipelines. OpenScope allows researchers from around the world to pitch experiments to be run – at not cost to them – in the Allen Brain Observatory. #OpenScienceWeek 🧠📈 youtu.be/13r9n0pSDLc?...

Scientists shine a laser light on the brain cells that show us illusions  https://www.geekwire.com/2025/laser-light-brain-cells-illusions/

Do you see a white square? A new study, supported by our #OpenScope team, identified the key neural circuit and cell type involved with inferring details that don't exist in illusions like the one below. 🔗 alleninstitute.org/news/scienti... #OpenScienceWeek

Perfect timing of my Sunday sunset run this week.

1/3) This may be a very important paper, it suggests that there are no prediction error encoding neurons in sensory areas of cortex: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I personally am a big fan of the idea that cortical regions (allo and neo) are doing sequence prediction. But... 🧠📈 🧪

OpenScope and Neuropixels technical workshop ongoing !

It is getting harder and harder to catch the sunset before dinner. I am going to have to do a late run soon.

Mental health is health. As a neuroscientist and optimist, I’m proud of the work happening at @alleninstitute.bsky.social and beyond that is paving the way to a brighter future. One of my favorite ways to unwind and support my own mental health is walking my dog! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

We will be hosting a public kick-off for the data collection phase of the OpenScope Predictive Processing community project. All are welcome to join! Tuesday, May 6, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM (PST) 🧵

I caught it!
