We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

Kilosort4 detects a LOT of neurons, I recorded 15k neurons in one year 🤯 Traditionally, one would curate these detected units to see if they are well isolated single neurons. This is not feasible anymore, so today let's look at three options that are out there to automate this process! 🤖👇

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons!
Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭
