Lab @ ESI Frankfurt. We believe the brain is noise-free. Or mostly-noise-free-ish. And that if we stare at behaving brains long enough, it will ALL MAKE SENSE.

Excited for the last two sessions of our HEART study <3 this weekend - #Breathwork for psychotherapists and psychiatrists with Dr. Martha Havenith & team @zeronoiselab.bsky.social @humboldtuni.bsky.social #Psychotherapy #Research

The "Free Our Feeds" campaign aims to protect social media from billionaire control by establishing a public-interest foundation. The initiative aims to ensure that the AT Protocol, the underlying technology of Bluesky, remains open and accessible to all.

In this episode, of “Brain Inspired,” Paul Middlebrooks and David Krakauer discuss the historical foundations of complexity science over the past 100 years. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir... #neuroskyence

Interested in understanding how things work? In particular the tools you use to study the brain? Join us at TENSS 2025 where we brainstorm ideas, build and debug microscopes, electrophysiology and behavior rigs amidst the picturesque Transylvanian hills! tenss.ro Apply by: February 16th!

Interested in diffusion models, behavior forecasting, internal states, neuromechanical modeling, reservoir computing, joint neural/behavioral datasets? Missing the sunshine? We have multiple fully funded postdoc positions, come join us!

What papers do you like that demonstrate the use of 'orthogonal subspaces' for encoding information in neural populations? #neuroskyence #compneuro #neuroAI

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love. Below is a gift link. Let me know your thoughts 🙏🏼 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/s...

I love this!! Also, I aspire to this level of thoughtful teaching. Definitely not there yet...

Apropos of never ending discussions about whether ANNs are "good" models of the nervous system, here is a slide I present to masters students showing a network that is found in motor control circuits *across phyla* (that's pretty ubiquitous!) I ask them to guess what it does...

I dream of a future in which single neuron dynamics ➡️ circuit motifs ➡️ distributed computations are taught as part of the same curriculum and no one bats an eye and everyone is happy.

To celebrate the closing of my first year as a PI, I present the drastically miss-sized things I have ordered next to what I was trying to order, a thread. #sciencesky #neuroskyence #neuroscience Up first...Rosie the wrench. Silver lining torque is amazing and we now have a lab mascot.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

I've been arguing that we will be able to train foundation models on neural data from different species, because I suspect that there are sufficiently preserved motifs in neural computation across the phylgenetic tree. This paper appears to support that idea! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... 🧠📈 🧪

Fresh out: a short review article where I give an overview of different ways that across-trial temporal structure is helpful in understanding cognitive models of decision-making osf.io/preprints/ps...

petition to change the word describing ChatGPT's mistakes from 'hallucinations' to 'confabulations' A hallucination is a false subjective sensory experience. ChatGPT doesn't have experiences! It's just making up plausible-sounding bs, covering knowledge gaps. That's confabulation

Whoa!! 🤯

Chaotic enthusiasm? I mean, where's the lie?🤩🥳🤯👻💥💃💃 blueskyroast.com/roast/zerono...

Applications are open for our Summer Workshop in the Dynamic Brain!! This is a two week computational neuroscience course for grad students and postdocs. Check it out!! alleninstitute.org/events/summe...

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

Good news everyone! A new version of graph-tool is just out! @graph-tool.skewed.de graph-tool.skewed.de Graph-tool is a comprehensive and efficient Python library to work with networks, including structural, dynamical, and statistical algorithms, as well as visualization. 1/N #networkscience

I love how many brain signals that people thought were related to cognition are actually just related to breathing lol nice work everyone this is going great

Hi! We are 3Dneuro - a small band of neuroscientists who hunted spikes in behaving animals for years before saying: This has to be easier! We design electrode drives, implant systems and behaviour setups that are robust, easy to use, and open-source. Or: Ephys for everyone! Check us out: 3dneuro.com

Psychologists and neuroscientists are calling for international pressure towards immediate ceasefire in Israel, Palestine & Lebanon, respect for international humanitarian law, end of the occupation, and release of all hostages. Read & join us by signing here: tinyurl.com/PsychLetter

Behold, our first #Neuroskyence thread! :) About one of our favourite questions: As a neuroscientist, should you average across trials to get pretty things like receptive fields and population vectors? Or should you resist the urge?

To understand the human brain, we often study mice. But how does a mouse brain compare to a primate brain? In a recent study, we developed a quantitative method to compare the brains of different animal species, and discovered a potentially unique aspect of the primate brain.

Really life example of how sensitive we are to the dynamics of the environment and how hard those are to fake (see this classic in the ‘kinematic specification of dynamics’ by Runeson & Fryholm citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?rep...)

My lab University College London is looking for an experimental postdoc to join our team. Interested in circuits underlying visually guided behavior, chronic #Neuropixel recordings or 2-photon imaging (Benchtop, #Mini2p)? Then check out our lab homepage www.ruedigerlab.com, apply & spread the word

Just In case people need to follow people in neuroscience focused on natural behaviors and the brains of cool non-trad animals! Please join let me know if you wanna be added. go.bsky.app/AcLpM4h

Yes.😁
