A 🍍 spotted in the wild at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social! Great crash course on neuro data processing with @pynapple.bsky.social and @spikeinterface.bsky.social delivered by @matthiashennig6.bsky.social, @wulfdewolf.bsky.social and Chris Halcrow. So nice to see both libraries working so well together

We present our preprint on ViV1T, a transformer for dynamic mouse V1 response prediction. We reveal novel response properties and confirm them in vivo. With @wulfdewolf.bsky.social, Danai Katsanevaki, @arnoonken.bsky.social, @rochefortlab.bsky.social. Paper and code at the end of the thread! 🧵1/7

Last week, Samuel Garcia and I gave a public webinar on the SpikeInterface-GUI, a powerful tool for spike sorting visualization and curation. github.com/SpikeInterfa... If you missed it, you can check out the viedo on the @spikeinterface.bsky.social youtube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZl8...

Excited to share our new pre-print on bioRxiv, in which we reveal that feedback-driven motor corrections are encoded in small, previously missed neural signals.

In this work by @henri96.bsky.social we suggest that refractoriness of plasticity may be essential for representation learning. Amazingly a paper is just out that further confirms this mechanism exists (in cultured slices from neonatal mice): www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very nice and useful work that makes use of the great tools ecosystem we have now.

First post here to promote a nice article by Gaëlle Chapuis and Olivier Winter of the International Brain Lab - it argues for more stable career paths for research software engineers in science. Have a read and share: www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...

Neuroscience needs a career path for software engineers

Few institutions have mechanisms for the type of long-term positions that would best benefit the science.
