What’s the minimal amount of time I have to write before I play Elden? Asking for a friend.

Do you want to fit nonlinear tuning curves, using Poisson (GAM/GLM) models, but want flexible basis functions, Bayesian machinery, and smoothing and regularization of penalized splines. I wanted a bayesian approach in a modern framework (Pyro). Without guarantee github.com/JustFineNeur...

I would like to highlight a somewhat tangential finding here: We found clear evidence for clusters in the encoding geometry of natural images and a decision making task (in mice and monkeys). I think this speaks in favor of modular brains in both species.

🙌 this has been a tough lesson for me, as I transitioned from cog sci to sys neuro. I feel like I’m shoehorning in analysis merely for attentional capture.

My first @cosynemeeting.bsky.social meeting abstract for me submitted and accepted, nice.

most people aren’t defining their subspaces. Take the issue of PCA. If experiment cond A pushes a latent to have higher variance than condition B, comparing the two artificially thru alignment artificially inflates “orthogonaliy”. Better to define geometry based on variables and decompose.

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

Has anybody made a variant of a demixed dim red that is DS based, with high interpretability? basically pitching demixed LDS with Nonlinear approximated inputs? #neuroskyence

A lot of musing about how manifolds replace tuning. But I’d like to argue this is slight misdirection. You don’t get manifolds absent tuning/connectictivity/neuromodulation. Manifolds not in lieu of tuning, but they are independent in so far multiple tunings can render isomorphic manifolds.

I’m happy someone said this. I saw a few packs that had people on it, that don’t even do that research (but I do). But I also suck at self-promoting. Maybe gotta find the bravery to ask for a seat at the proverbial table.

I am a bit afraid the whole Starter Pack business leaves behind trainees — make sure to follow / repost them if their work interests you so their voices are heard #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #compneurosky

Random opinion: stochastic optimal control theory is underrated in NeuroAI and theoretical neuro. It's one of the most general and useful frameworks out there. Lots of beautiful math and solid proofs. More people should apply it to neuroscience... 🧠🤖

Come see our nanosymposium on value-based decision making this afternoon, including my talk on the intrinsic value of information 📚🔎. Can't wait to hear from this stellar group! #SFN24

Will be bopping around @sfn this week. If anyone wants to chat, 🍻 or both, ping me!! Also, giving a talk on Monday.

A simple question spawned into surprising results: how does our allocation of attentional effort fluctuate during value based choice.

I fully support the last sentence of this abstract from @profdata.bsky.social : elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... "...the complexity of the brain should be respected and intuitive notions of cell type, which can be misleading and arise in any complex network, should be relegated to history." 🧠📈 🧪
