Do We Need Zero Training Loss After Achieving Zero Training Error? By not letting the training loss to go to zero, model will “random walk” with the same non-zero loss and drift into an area with a flat loss landscape that leads to better generalization. arxiv.org/abs/2002.08709

#Backpropagation and the brain - a new Review by Lillicrap (Timothy Lillicrap), Santoro (Adam Santoro), Marris (Luke Marris), Akerman and Hinton (Geoffrey Hinton) go.nature.com/2z9CSdM

With Allen Institute and Sebastian Seung we release our MICrONS IARPA phase 1 functional connectomics data microns-explorer.org. Movie shows 2P calcium and EM data aligned together using EASE with cell body and dendritic activity in EM volume. biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Hello World! We are Neuromatch Academy, a fully virtual computational neuroscience summer school coming this July. Follow this account for info, updates, and insights from the school.

⚡️Самое важное расследование ФБК про самую большую взятку в истории. Сегодня вы узнаете всё о главном коррупционере России. Слова тут излишни. Просто садитесь поудобнее и давайте смотреть: youtu.be/ipAnwilMncI Текстовая версия: palace.navalny.com

Excited to share my latest findings! I found that single neurons in the mouse brain encoded the price of cryptocurrencies 🪙 Here is a neuron from the visual cortex which shows a highly significant correlation with the Bitcoin price at the time it was recorded. A thread 👇

Finally! My paper is out in bioRxiv Any comments are more than welcome biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kinda like Google Maps for your #brain? New Scientist says Google has produced one of the most detailed maps of a portion of the human brain ever. The new map includes patterns of connections between #neurons, and maybe a new kind of neuron: bit.ly/3iyE6DV #neuroscience

Infinite loop — “De mon temps aussi j'ai souffert en thèse, je n'étais pas payé et je n'avais pas de congé, et regarde où j'en suis !” start-lesechos-fr.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/start.lese…

Follow-up on #fiberphotometry data analysis. For my preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…), I’ve created a python package that allows to combine recordings with behaviour events, and process them from raw data to final plots and stats (github.com/katemartian/LH…)

The best software for neural activity+behaviour analysis 😉

Come to see my danseTM demos at #SfN2023!
