#spike sorting leaves us with hundreds of units. A small portion of them respond to stimuli or even active during the experiment. How to pick the best representative units for further #analysis? a tool for that: #neuroskyence #ephys #neuropixels #brain

Without a proper system of mediation and conflict prevention these discussions are pointless. In our institute we implemented a model that at least partly addresses these issues: Mentorship Committee that mediates PI- #PhD students/ #postdoc miscommunication. #neuroscience #career #research

Why Statistical Physics Can’t Give Us an ‘Ideal Gas Law’ for the Brain

There's a movement in neuroscience suggesting we should be pursuing bigger bets with larger teams. I think there's a case for doing a bit of this, but I think it's a bad idea to prioritise it for two reasons, and a good case for saying we should be moving in the exact opposite direction. 🧠🧪

Things I’m tired of explaining to people on Twitter: • Yes, scientists know more than you do. • No, your own “research” is not better than peer-reviewed data. • Your vs. You’re • No, Hitler did not have a point. • A constitutional republic is a form of democracy.
