Still curious about uncovering internal state — completely unsupervised? We start in 30 minutes.
#CCN2025, Poster C160: We present MoDSA – a fully unsupervised method for identifying behaviorally relevant neural states in both biological & artificial systems.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
An unsupervised method to find behaviorally relevant internal states from data. We tested it w/ RNN & monkey data doing cognitive tasks & RNN trained with deep RL on naturalistic plum tracking task. Visit poster C160, Fri 2-5pm, talk to @armanbehrad.bsky.social 2025.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=l...

New paper out! We show that individual dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae can drive both learning and movement — two key dopamine functions. Advanced usage of Random Forest for multivariate data analysis. 🧠🪰 #Neuroscience#MachineLearning ##Dopamine#Drosophila

Individual dopaminergic neurons induce unique, yet overlapping combinations of behavioural modulations including safety learning, memory retrieval and acute locomotion
