Come join us for this exciting event next week. You can't possibly have anything better to do next Saturday 🙃

In a study now out in @eLife, @GeorginJacob @PramodRT9 and I have some exciting results: a novel computation that helps the brain solve disparate visual tasks, a novel brain region that performs this computation....what's not to like?! Read on.... 1/n

Matthew Smith and I cowrote this obituary about Carl Olson, who passed away recently. Carl was my postdoc mentor and was absolutely amazing. I will miss him💔

Two new studies from our team we're particularly happy about:
Study 1: ai.meta.com/research/pub...
Study 2: ai.meta.com/research/pub...

"Academics from poorer backgrounds are both more likely to not publish and to have outstanding publication records. Academics from poorer backgrounds introduce more novel scientific concepts, but are less likely to receive recognition" 👀

New paper on informed consent! I’m so proud of this work led by @rachelschlund.bsky.social. We show that regardless of how clueless WE feel about the terms we agree to when signing a contract or clicking accept, others assume we knew what we were getting into. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

A really cool and clever "second-order" method to gauge how we perceive the occluded parts of objects!

Although it took an exceptionally long time to get this out to you all, I am extremely proud of my first manuscript . This study could not have been possible without @sparuniisc.bsky.social invaluable guidance and the excellent resources and support from @psychopy.org. Please read below:

In a new study, out now in Attention Perception & Psychophysics, Thomas Cherian (@thomascherian.bsky.social) and I have some fascinating insights into what we see behind an occluder. Like all good things, the origin of this study was simple curiosity. Consider the picture below:

Another huge influx of colleagues to BlueSky this week, so let me attach the fully updated Neurophysiology starter pack for anyone interested.

There’s actually at least 12 types of paper in neuroscience (stolen from X), who knew?

Amazing! I did not know about these fish before.

Ready or not....here I come to SFN 2023 to highlight some exciting work from our lab on 256-ch wireless recordings from IT & PMv in freely moving monkeys on Mon Nov 13 at 9:00AM on Poster # DD24 in the session "Visual responses during behavior II". Come check it out!
