We built StarDist to detect cells in volumetric microscopy and jointly infer closed curved parametric surfaces for each cell. It's an example of an interpretable machine learning approach. More detail in the blog post and preprint.

We developed an "interpretable machine learning" system to find and characterize blobs in volumetric images, such as microscopy images of cells, something we need to do all the time in our lab. The no...

Here's a curious result we found from modeling human problem solving as the composition of past remembered dynamical systems. www.focolab.org/post/recombi...

This is an idea and a small but curious result that I've been sitting on for a very long time. Finally got around to sharing it. It the simplest possible model I could come up with for experience-base...

Our paper on WormID is out. Moral: building a multi-lab data corpus boosts generalization and performance of ML labeling algorithms. We extended the Neurodata Without Borders format to support this. Resource at wormid.org. www.focolab.org/post/our-pap...
Our paper "Unifying community whole-brain imaging datasets enables robust neuron identification and reveals determinants of neuron position in C. elegans" is out.
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-methods/fulltext/S2667-2375(24)00354-0Congrats Yutaka and the rest of the team! It has been a fantastic collaborative effort and we hope the community continues to bu...

"under anaesthesia the functional connectivity of the human brain becomes more similar to the macaque brain"

evidence that monkeys are not conscious!!?

🤣🤣🤣

🧠📈
General anaesthesia reduces the uniqueness of brain connectivity across individuals and across species
The human brain is characterised by idiosyncratic patterns of spontaneous thought, rendering each brain uniquely identifiable from its neural activity. However, deep general anaesthesia suppresses sub...

For our inaugural post on bsky, we're happy to share our preprint on tardigrades as a new model organism for neuroscience. Exciting times for these little critters! www.focolab.org/post/our-pre...
Our preprint "The tardigrade as an emerging model organism for systems neuroscience" is up.
We have been making the case for some time that tardigrades, aka water bears, would be an amazing new model organism for certain big systems neuroscience questions. We put this into a detailed paper o...
