New work from the lab published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social by @jonasterlau.bsky.social and Jan Martini. We describe that trial-by-trial variability indexes recurrent connectivity across the cortical hierarchy, which supports reliable and flexible coding www.cell.com/neuron/abstr... (1/4)
Structure in noise: Recurrent connectivity shapes neural variability to balance perceptual and cognitive demands in the human brain
Does neural variability reflect random noise or a feature that benefits adaptive behavior?
Using intracranial recordings in humans, Terlau et al. demonstrate that neural variability

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇
