This may be a good starting point for people thinking about how causality can help tackle some of the open problems of machine learning. It discusses core assumptions such as "independent causal mechanisms" and "sparse mechanism shift".

Inspired by Neuromatch Academy, I organized the course around a series of 8 coding labs. Each lab develops a minimal implementation of a state-of-the-art method, from scratch in a self-contained Colab notebook (🧵's coming!). All material is here: github.com/slinderman/sta…

New paper! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… Together with Diek Wheeler we performed the most thorough calibration so far to ease in vivo functional phenotyping of hippocampal and enthorinal cell-types. Check v1.9 hippocampome.org/php/index.php for annotated metadata

If you are curious about when neural nets can perform causal inferences, & more fundamentally, how neural & causal models are related, check out: “The Causal-Neural Connection: Expressiveness, Learnability, and Inference”: arxiv.org/abs/2107.00793 (with K Xia, K Lee, Y Bengio)

Starts tomorrow!!! 🥳😀😎🦆⛵️ Summer school on Mathematical Methods in Computational Neuroscience at the Fred Kavli Science Center, Eresfjord, Norway For digital attendance: NTNU.zoom.us/j/98589653142?… More info: compneuronrsn.org

Super proud to present our new work (arxiv.org/abs/2109.04173) led by Matej on connecting GNNs with causality. We present rigorous theoretical results derived from 1st principles and establish a novel connection between GNN and SCM. Joint work with Petar Veličković Kristian Kersting

Our very own Will de Cothi speaking about successor representations, place cells, behaviour (in rats and humans). What else do you want? (there might even be grid cells too)

Tremendously excited to be giving an RL tutorial at #cosyne2023! Materials for the tutorial can be found here. slides docs.google.com/presentation/d… coding colab (File > Make a copy; Runtime > Change runtime type > GPU) drive.google.com/file/d/1jEiDNA…

1/ @sussillodavid & I are looking for an excellent computational postdoc to work with us & collaborate w/Karl Deisseroth Lisa Giocomo & Eyal Seidemann on an NIH project to explore how internal states like spontaneous activity, attention, motivation, etc.. interact with...

Come be my colleague in Tübingen! We have a fantastic new job offer for a full professorship at the intersection of AI and clinical neuroscience!

📢#PreprintAlert Our state-of-the-art models of rat somatosensory cortex doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… and hippocampus CA1 doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… are out! These atlas-based, biophysically detailed models exhibit in vitro and in vivo-like activity and replicate laboratory experiments.

Our lab at UCL (ucl.ac.uk/cortexlab) is looking for a Research Technician in computational and experimental #neuroscience. Ideal for those who wish to gain research experience before considering PhD studies. More info: ucl.ac.uk/cortexlab/posi…. Deadline: 20 June.

Anyone want to do a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University decoding speech real-time from human brains? We have access to amazing intracortical data, and funding.

Have you wondered whether fast spatiotemporal brain dynamics like traveling waves are local, confined to just one region, or whether they are shared across many regions simultaneously? The latest work from Zhiwen Ye in my lab has the answer! Thread- biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here is a recording of my talk CogCompNeuro last week on quantifying similarity in neural recordings Very much enjoyed the Keynote + Tutorial format for the conference. Links to our tutorial notebook below 👇 youtube.com/live/-xmLMWC2Y…

How does the hippocampus moderate reactivation following learning? We identified a hippocampal circuit mechanism which seems to play this role- and it’s driven by CA2! Check below for a summary of our recent results from this week's Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/

30 years ago, Wilson & McNaughton (1994, Science Magazine) kickstarted the study of 'offline' hippocampal reactivation, and its role in memory. What a journey it's been since then... Sharing my favorite insights below. #Neuroscience science.org/doi/abs/10.112… 1/13
