Deeply grateful to the @simonsfoundation.org for launching SCENE and thrilled to join this 10-year journey into ecological neuroscience—unraveling how sensory and motor systems interact. Excited to collaborate with an incredible team of theorists and experimentalists working across species!

In Lurz et al., ICLR 2021 we did quite some analysis on scaling and generalization across animals in the context of visual response prediction (incl. behavioral modulation) with @sinzlab.bsky.social and @andreastolias.bsky.social: openreview.net/forum?id=Tp7...

A super exciting paper by @aecker.bsky.social and Marissa Weis, part of the #MICrONS package, deriving a set of principles to characterize the morphological diversity of excitatory neurons across cortical layers. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

MICrONS represents a huge step forward for the field. Big-data and AI will drive the next wave of discoveries in neuroscience

Join me, @andreastolias.bsky.social, and many of the incredible MICrONS team members in an AI-driven approach to neuroscience discovery Apply here: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42... Or email us at [email protected]

After 7 years, thrilled to finally share our #MICrONS functional connectomics results! We recorded activity from ~75K neurons in the visual cortex of a single mouse, then mapped its wiring using electron microscopy. nature.com/immersive/d42859-025-00001-w/index.html

Eva Dyer and I wrote an opinion piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why neuroscience needs to embrace complexity and accept the "bitter lesson" by using a data-driven regime at scale. With commentary from several wonderful researchers! 🧠📈 #NeuroAI 🧪

What could large-scale AI do for neuroscience? What barriers prevent us from pursuing an AlphaFold for the brain? What are the limits of scale, and where will we need more tailored solutions? Eva ​​Dyer and @tyrellturing.bsky.social ask nine neuroscientists to weigh in. bit.ly/4iXjK3q

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...
