Paper alert - A revolution in circular statistics
We show a new way to analyse circular data (such as times or directions) that supports multiple variables and repeated measurements.

Advanced circular statistics in biology: Multiple factors, interactions and repeated measures
Circular data is common across biology and the wider sciences, but presents unique analytical challenges due to their wrapped structure, where endpoints coincide (e.g. 360° = 0°). This requires th...

Neuronal recordings in head-fixed and freely-moving mole-rats
Mole-rats are subterranean rodents that have evolved remarkable sensory adaptations to life in underground tunnel systems, yet their neural mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a pro...
