How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation?
#Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

Weaker brain wiring constraints increase multifinality in network outcomes. Specifically, when you weaken the drive to connect neighbours you get more topologically dissimilar networks. Whereas when you weaken the distance penalty, you get connections forming in different places.

How did we test this? Starting with a neonatal seed network, we simulated the formation of new connections using a computational model. We varied the modelling constraints, and tested whether systematic changes in those constraints shift the properties of the resulting networks
