Release, reuse, reduce!! A piece on open data by @bendichter.com
Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @bendichter.com

The main project from my PhD, in collaboration with Manuela Allegra and @schlab.bsky.social is now available as a preprint! We wondered how the hippocampus and the visual cortex may differ in the way they refine sensory inputs into internal representations
Task engagement differentially drives hippocampal and neocortical neural codes
Sensory inputs are progressively transformed into internal representations of the environment along the cortical hierarchy. How does the behavioral relevance of these inputs affect this encoding? Usin...
