📜Out now Nature Communications !😊 We show that what you learn & how you learn it can lead to important differences in neural activity structure + these differences play an important role in later adaptation nature.com/articles/s4146… w/ Matt Perich Lee E Miller Juan Álvaro Gallego ClopathLab 🧵

Can anyone use the Third Thumb? We tested a diverse range of nearly 600 users at the The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition with the 'Third Thumb', a hand augmentation device doi.org/10.1126/scirob…

Had a really fun day today, and saw and learn about a lot of cool things! Thanks Silvestro for organising, and thanks and everyone at ScuolaSantAnna for chatting with me

Was just going to briefly and very shamelessly plug our textbook on Bayesian modeling of behavior. As opposed to all those DL models, one can actually deeply understand the Bayesian models. If interested in behavior check it out: cns.nyu.edu/malab/bayesian… (free pdf too)

I'll soon be starting my search for a new position (ideally starting in early 2025) in neurodata analysis and modeling If you are coming to FENS and looking for a senior postdoc, please DM or ping me! Also looking for early-PI opportunities! All RTs are appreciated!

Excited about going to FENS Forum next week. I'll present our recent work on preserved dynamics across individuals performing similar behaviours: nature.com/articles/s4158… Fri 28 June, morning session: PS05-28AM-094 #FENS2024

this looks great, thanks to the team!

Reminder! If you are into the sensorimotor fineries of animal behavior- come check our symposium tomorrow afternoon FENS ! Great lineup: Bing Brunton Bing Wen Brunton, Eiman Azim Eiman Azim Juan Gallego Juan Álvaro Gallego and myself! Kavli Neuroscience

If you have normal visual imagery, imagining a bright stimulus makes your pupils constrict. But if you have aphantasia, that doesn’t happen. Some of the best evidence out there that it’s not just “people talking past each other”. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Interested in investigating how neuronal dynamics supports reinforcement learning? Join us! 📢 PhD position in the Brain Dynamics Laboratory at SantAnnaPisa, Italy. #RNN #ReinforcementLearning #compneuro Deadline: at 13:00 of the 29 July 2024. unicam.it/bandi/2024/ban…

check out this powerful toolbox to model the sensorimotor system at the neural implementation level! congratulations to the authors Olivier Codol Mehrdad Kashefi Jonathan A. Michaels Andrew Pruszynski now out in eLife - the journal

Important update on the eLife - the journal experiment to change publishing (one of the wildest dreams of (most) academics): "Scientific Publishing: How and why eLife selects papers for peer review" elifesciences.org/articles/100571 Please share

Register for the #BernsteinConference by July 31 and secure the early bird fees! 👉bernstein-network.de/bernstein-conf…

"Idea" paper on a new analogy of what the genome does -- The genome instantiates a generative model of an organism (of a particular class)

An important cost of AI and the data economy that doesn't get discussed as much as it should imo

PSA: If you don't want your X posts used to train Grok, you now have to explicitly opt-out. Go to x.com/settings/grok_… and uncheck the box. If link doesn't work, go to Settings->Privacy and Safety->Grok

When you perform a sequence of actions, you are always dual-tasking: You produce a movement and at the same time plan future ones. Check out Mehrdad Kashefi's new paper (with Andrew Pruszynski). Thanks to Raeed Chowdhury for an excellent insight! elifesciences.org/articles/101739

I (finally) defended my PhD! 🥳 BIG thanks to my supervisor ClopathLab and my collaborators Victor Pedrosa Barbara Feulner Juan Álvaro Gallego for shaping me into the researcher I am today and my examiners Robert Rosenbaum [email protected] for a fun discussion yesterday.

To the neuro and science twitter community, it feels that there's hope of a *bluer sky* elsewhere. Let's abandon the bird and rebuild our networks elsewhere !!! mikeyoungacademy.dk/communities-of…
