Gude, hallo & hello! The Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) for #Neuroscience #Frankfurt just joined the platform #neuhier 👋 🐘 It is our mission to perform excellent fundamental #brainresearch. Join us on our journey to find out how the many parts of the #brain work together to bring about our #behaviour 🔬 🧠

Flying to San Diego for tomorrow...

Going primarily to support the great students & postdocs in our lab who are presenting their work (and looking for new positions!)

About 25 years ago, Crick and Koch wrote a very thought-provoking paper,

nature.com/articles/34584

It tries to answer the question, why do feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) projections have such different properties in terms of terminating in different cortical layers and physiological impact — something that's ignored in many recurrent network models of cortex.

i.o.w.: Why do higher areas talk so differently to lower areas than lower areas talk to higher areas?

@csdashm very cool work - if I would start my career again it would be in EM 4sure

Time for an . Nervous systems — yours, mine, those of mice, fish, and insects and worms — are made up of populations of different kinds of neurons that communicate with one another. Current electron microscopy generates millimeter-scale volumes with the morphology and synaptic connectivity of up to 10^5 neurons. As a scientist at the Allen Institute, I am mapping out the cell types and connectivity rules found in cortex and building computational tools to help others do the same.

@martin_a_vinck @NeuroVenki Definitely... And that's understandable for those who made a lot of effort to build a large flock of followers.

Well let’s do another round of #introduction then! Hi, I’m a Prof at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), UofG, Scotland, studying human memory. My lab uses a range of tools, including behaviour, EEG/MEG, fMRI and intracranial (single unit + LFP) EEG recordings, trying to understand how the human brain reconstructs past experiences from memory, how it forgets, and how our memories change over time and when we repeatedly remember something.

#introduction

i'm adam

I used to study the neuroscience of animal behavior in academia

now I work on building a neural interface at Meta Reality Labs

I've also been accused of studying punctuation

@markgbaxter I think this is probably because the most visible PIs that are doing the bOoOoOing - with the most followers - are probably not doing any of the things you have listed here anymore.

Neuroscientists
- literally do brain surgery
- perform complex analyses of high-dimensional neurophysiology data
- code in MedState notation
- get mice to bury marbles

This looks great!

Excited to share our new preprint w. Giorgos Spyropoulos, @Mars_Schneider, Thiele Lab. We contrast — in 🐭& 🐵 — the physiological relevance and mechanisms underlying two effects of attention: 1. enhanced inter-areal coherence & 2. firing rates🧵👇1/15

@NeuroVenki @RaphaelGrandin
😀 I think it's rather, $E = \exp(-aN)$...that gives us some nice bound on enthusiasm in $[0,1]$ and there must be some exponential law here, $a \approx 10^-4$. That seems about right, I still see some enthusiasm with people having 10^4 followers.

Proposed model: {number of followers on Tw1tter} = 1 / {enthusiasm for #Mastodon}.

#introduction

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

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

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