📣2 postdoc and 1 phD positions on computational mechanisms of human perception in Barcelona. One postdoc position (2-y) is joint w Chris Summerfield ( @summerfieldlab.bsky.social) on visual scene perception, mixing modelling w ANN and behavioral experiments.

Beautiful beaches, gorgeous architecture, and the frenetic energy of Spain winning the world cup, @bamb-school.bsky.social really has it all! Today I'm teaching how to leverage the structure of the environment to behave effectively in an uncertain world.

Tried something different at last journal club: I turned plain paper presentation into a "choose-your-own-adventure" game where the audience needs to find how to complete a research program addressing the original research question. 1/4

The barccsyn.org community in Barcelona is organizing a nice FENS Satellite (Sun 5.07). Check the great speakers that will present both experimental and modeling work. And remember: you can bring your poster. If you want to (finally!) understand how the brain works 🥸, come and find out. #FENS2026

Flyer with all the information about the BARCCSYN Satellite Meeting that will take place in Barcelona on July 5th, 2026.

Absolutely heartbreaking. So many mathematicians I know studied there, men AND women. Maryam Mirzakhani studied there. If this isn't enough to cancel/relocate from the US the International Congress of Mathematicians #ICM2026, nothing will be.

I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉 The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)

Want to make publication-ready figures come straight from Python without having to do any manual editing? Are you fed up with axes labels being unreadable during your presentations? Follow this short tutorial including code examples! 👇🧵

I will soon delete all my twitter posts, so in the next few days I will be recycling some of my most liked tweets, in random order. The first one had to be a shitpost, of course

If you're into decision-making vs. motor execution, integration of sensory vs contextual evidence, 🐀vs. 👩, meticulous analysis & modelling of full behavior, check out the last episode of our Nature Comms trilogy (crafted with love & patience)!
