Amazon has acquired Fauna Robotics, just under two months after the startup introduced a humanoid robot called Sprout designed for social spaces like homes and schools.

Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes in a lab notices a phenomenon that has been under the noses of researchers for a long time but ignored as a distraction. After more careful observations, replications, a...

Current Biology published a perspective article, "Short-term memory: How oscillatory networks preserve sensory history" which covers our recent paper about short-term memory in the worm. It's a nice p...

Kevin Zhou, former postdoc in the collaborating lab of Laura Waller at Berkeley, and who recently started his own lab at University of Michigan, developed this way to achieve gigapixel-resolution high...

We developed an "interpretable machine learning" system to find and characterize blobs in volumetric images, such as microscopy images of cells, something we need to do all the time in our lab. The no...

This is a nice news article by Benjamin Plackett in Nature covering our science and community building work to establish tardigrades as a new model organism for neuroscience. Kudos to postdoc Ana Lyon...

Zheng and Meister write about the paradoxical slowness of human behavior. Although our senses gather data at 109 bits/s, our overall information throughput is only 10 bits/s. This stark contrast touch...

This is an idea and a small but curious result that I've been sitting on for a very long time. Finally got around to sharing it. It the simplest possible model I could come up with for experience-base...

Dori Grijseels wrote a great article about our work and preprint on tardigrades for neuroscience. https://www.thetransmitter.org/animal-models/how-tiny-tardigrades-could-help-tackle-systems-neuroscien...

The creators of a new test called “Humanity’s Last Exam” argue we may soon lose the ability to create tests hard enough for A.I. models.

We have been making the case for some time that tardigrades, aka water bears, would be an amazing new model organism for certain big systems neuroscience questions. We put this into a detailed paper o...
