Hello Mastodon! #introduction 👋​

I'm a cognitive neuroscientist 🧠​🔬​💻​ at the psychology department in Leiden, The Netherlands 🇳🇱​🌷​

I research how we make decisions 🔀​ and how our brains change as we age 👵​ (both in 🐁​ and 👩​)

Beyond brains, I care & post about #feminism, #openscience and #climateaction 🌍​

Happy to be here!

#introduction I am a professor at Penn and also co-director of the CIFAR Learning in Machines and Brains program. I like to think about neuroscience, AI, and science in general. Neuromatch. Recently, much of my thinking is about Rigor in science and I just started leading a large NIH funded initiative community for rigor (C4R) that aims at teaching scientific rigor.

My interests are broad: Causality, ANNs, Logic of Neuroscience, Neurotech, Data analysis, AI, community, science of science

🚨🚨🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨🚨🚨

A big mystery in brain research is what are the neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in higher order cognitive processes. Here we present a new theoretical and experimental framework, in collaboration with @SussilloDavid, Valerio Mante, Mikio Aoi, and Jonathan Pillow.

Hello, brave new world. I’m a scientist who’s passionate about open source code, democratization of AI, and mice playing video games… follow here for science, hot takes, and general thoughts on academia and tech 🤗

Hello Mastodon peeps 👋! This is what it looks like across hundreds of neurons in prefrontal cortex when a monkey starts dozing off.

#introduction

I am a researcher working at the interface of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. I wear two hats.

🎩 I work at Meta Reality Labs, thinking about neuromotor interfaces.

🤠 I am an adjunct professor at Stanford, where I think about neural dynamics and how they give rise to computation and behavior.

🙏 Deep apologies for doing this twice, but I moved servers. Shouldn't happen again.

#introduction

👋

I am a neuroscientist interested in the circuit dynamics of adaptive but reliable visually guided behavior.

In our group at the U Bonn, we study

- the stabilization of the neural code in visual perception, learning, and memory

- the pathway-specific processing of sensory and self-motion signals

We emphasize ethologically relevant behavior, longitudinal synapse- and circuit-level optophysiology, and miniaturized and bench-top two-photon microscopy.

Mastodon Day

Friday November 18, 2022 - An Incredible Day In Internet History

You were here.

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users an hour. Almost a quarter million migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

#twittermigration #NewUsers #Welcome

Moving to Mastodon and looking for my followers

This is just to make sure that I send out my first toot before my last tweet and to say that I'm also here on this platform. Let's see what's coming. In any case, looking forward to the interactions!
