Trying to perceive the inner and outside world in more details. Associate Investigator @alleninstitute. Learning till the end. https://jeromelecoq.com
Many thanks to Colleen Gillon and Michael Berry who helped start this important effort, among many many others. The new experimental data is now going out session by session for everyone to analyze.
@jeromelecoq.bsky.social describes how he brought together more than 50 scientists to identify the key missing data needed to rigorously test theoretical models and to design experiments to fill those gaps.

Our weekly meeting for the OpenScope Predictive Processing community project is cancelled for tomorrow. We are currently collectling datasets both on the Neuropixels and SLAP2 platform. At our next meeting, we aim to introduce those datasets to allow analysis by the community.

Why do optical illusions work? The culprit may be a group of neurons in the visual cortex that help us fill in missing information.

Researchers used lasers to record and stimulate the activity of neurons in mice to learn how the brain processes and interprets optical illusions.
