How might the brain judge and represent causal structure? We studied this question in our paper "Emergent representations of graphical structure in mechanistic neural models of causal judgment", now accepted at NeurIPS 2026! 📄 Check out the bioRxiv preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We wrote a tutorial guide on voltage imaging, now out in Neuron: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nlgh3BtfH... Indicators, microscopes, and software have all advanced to the point that it's not so hard -- you can now directly watch the electrical activity of neurons in live animals or in culture.

Out today on @nature.com! Connecting neural specialization, population geometry, and their functional implications across the cortical hierarchy. So grateful for this beautiful and fun collaboration with @shuqiw.bsky.social, S Muscinelli, L Paninski, and @stefanofusi.bsky.social!

Rarely categorical, highly separable representations along the cortical hierarchy - Nature
Cortical circuits prioritize diversity over categorical structure, supporting a computational regime geared towards high-dimensional, highly separable neural representations.

Excited to share this preprint from @ianoldenburg.bsky.social . To evoke movement with holo stim, you need the right pattern at the right time! Interestingly, the preparatory state before spont motion is not the same as the state permissive for evoked motion. Dig in! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How can AI change theoretical neuroscience? Technologies separate us from the mechanics of computation. Are we liberated to focus on the big picture or abandoning the substrate of thought? Born from an ongoing experiment in my lab about balancing these technologies for research and training

Where, exactly, does learning happen in the brain? Out today in @nature.com, we identify a synaptic locus of birdsong learning and show that the circuit can be tuned to make birds learn faster - but at a cost. Read on👇 #neuroskyence 🧪 #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics Shareable link: rdcu.be/fiyrS

I’m excited to share that I’ll be starting my computational neurosci & machine learning lab at UCLA this July! ☀️ 
We’ll be working on computational methods for high-throughput neural data analysis, optical interrogation of neural circuits, & mechanistic models of artificial+bio neural systems. ⤵️

Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com introduces improv, a flexible software platform that integrates models with experiments in real-time. Traditional experiments collect all data first, then analyze it later. With improv, models analyze data as it streams in and actively guide what to do next.

Very happy for this to finally be published! We developed new machine learning methods for scalable mapping of synaptic connectivity using holographic optogenetics and compressed sensing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
