What an incredible trackathon! After two weeks of intense discussions and happy coding (and a lot of groundwork beforehand by @msschwartz21.bsky.social and Caroline Malin-Mayor), this lovely community emerged with a Graph Exchange File Format that is ready to use! Congrats, everyone! 🎉
#geff v1 is released! 🎉 GEFF is a zarr-based Graph Exchange File Format with special support for tracking applications in Python and Java. Thank you to all the amazing developers who contributed at the Janelia 2025 Trackathon! liveimagetrackingtools.org/geff/

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves.

How can we use machine learning to find subtle patterns in our data and have them visualized?

Read the thread below to find out how!

Or head to @adjavon.bsky.social's blog post and let Simon the duck walk you through it (like a duck of course): tinyurl.com/yy7csdcd

🚀 Excited to share our paper has been accepted at #NeurIPS! 🎉 We developed a deep learning framework that infers local learning algorithms in the brain by fitting behavioral or neural activity trajectories during learning. We validate on synthetic data and tested on 🪰 behavioral data (1/5 🧵)
