Great to see our summer science at @mblscience.bsky.social featured by @open-ephys.org! A first step into the neuroscience of regeneration - with much more to come.

Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me: Nature-inspired neuroscience We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible ✨ tinyurl.com/y5y9du27

You're welcome! :) Feel free to take a look at this review arxiv.org/abs/1904.08405 A bit old, but still accurate and very useful.

Great point Horst! Turns out that event cameras are very good for estimating motion and optic flow. However, the problem is not trivial (and much more interesting) if you add noise and activity from neurons..how do you disentangle events coming from each source? We are working on it!

Special thanks to @braininspired.bsky.social for mentioning event cameras in a podcast a few years ago, when they were still off my radar! And many many thanks to all the people involved in the project!

For decades, imaging has forced the same trade-off: Set a frame rate → sacrifice resolution or field of view to go fast. We break that rule Using an EVENT-BASED CAMERA, we record neural activity without frames. Signals are captured only where and when they occur: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ultrafast Frame-Free Imaging of Neural Activity with Event Cameras

Frame-based fluorescence imaging has long defined how neural activity is optically measured. This approach requires acquiring all pixels within an image, regardless of whether they carry meaningful ne...

Our study is out in Nature! Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
