Can AI transform how we detect and treat cancer? On the latest episode of Holy Shift!, host Angela Gill Nelms talks with Dr. Anant Madabhushi, whose work in medical AI is reshaping how we diagnose cancer and personalize treatment. Tune in: youtu.be/C8WaVLgJ4ng

Check out the new episode. Super creative approaches to tackling memory loss.

What if the key to curing disease like Alzheimer’s lies in the tiny, invisible molecules inside our cells? Hear more about Asst. Prof. Dr. Felipe Quiroz's research in brain health. Tune in for the latest ep. of Holy Shift! t.co/4nfdvj78dh

A compelling example of how neuroscience research can help us use the brain's own adaptability to fight disease. This is why biomedical research is so important!

Hear Lena discuss how we are understanding movement and how it can improve people's lives 🎙️

Our new podcast is out about why biomedical science is so important to our communities: Holy Shift! Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow Please Share! Our first episode is Dr. Mike Davis on repairing congenital heart defects in children. ❣️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrvO...

Please repost! We're hiring a postdoc to work with me and @salagapan.bsky.social on an exciting interdisciplinary project in human neuroscience and brain-body interactions underlying effortful behavior in health and mood disorders. siplab.gatech.edu/postdoc_ad_2...

If you're doing #neuroscience out there, you don't have to be peer pressured to switch from #matlab to python. You do you. ❤️ scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

An argument for embracing the coming wave of neurotechnology: Neural augmentation can enhance and amplify our humanity without threatening our identity. After all, it worked for the Borg. scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

The output Softmax should be interpreted as "the amount of class-N-iness" the input has, not the input's "probability of belonging to class N". scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

#BCI world, we made a new decoder that works *really* well. It picks a velocity off a short menu instead of allowing any possible 2D vel. 93% vs 39% success in our model and 61% vs 37% in NHP iBCI for cursor control. Does it work for your #BCI? Paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

The HELP committee staffers are actually really nice (or at least they claimed they were happy to pass on my concerns to the committee). They are saying their committee did not authorize or approve the NIH move, fwiw.

We are very excited to announce the open release of a new 170 participant dataset: Linked MEG, TMS, multimodal 3T MRI, 7T MRI, Connectom MRI, cognitive /questionnaire data. Immense effort from a fabulous CUBRIC team. Paper by Carolyn McNabb et al: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Many science SM posts are about new grants and papers, which makes it hard to get a realistic sense picture of what its like applying for grants. To help, especially for #newPI, I am sharing a complete record of grant submissions. Full details on the blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

New user question: Is there a way I can see posts/reposts from all my favorite scientists that are about their science, but not see their posts about their politics? Or is it a package deal?

Insightful take on why building good, predictive models of systems-physiology is so tough. I can't help but point out that these same problems exist for baby models, not just monster ones, and that some of the problem comes from dubious modules... scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

Have you you ever had an incomplete (ODE) model of your favorite system but can't complete it because your system has some lurking states you can't record? We have a method to accurately infer the missing state *and* build a neural ODE for its equation! It's at AAAI 2025: arxiv.org/abs/2412.08681

We came up with a way to train a mix of biophysical ODEs and ANNs. The ANNs are full citizens - totally embedded in the system and numerically integrated. This is big for systems phys, where we want to simulate but lack all the eqns. tl;dr on the blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

The lab is looking for 2 postdocs to contribute creative juices to many ongoing collaborative NIH/NSF projects. We've got diverse interests, so motor control, comp neuro, rodent ephys, neurourology, human behavior all welcome. Ads here: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/opp...

Hello world. Joining the crowd here to link up with neuroscience folks in motor learning, BCI, neurourology, and computational neuroscience. Blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/dan...
