Excited to share our updated preprint on the neural basis of foraging decisions! This work was co-led by Michael Bukwich (twitterless, now at UCL) and me, with major contributions from co-authors, and the incredible animation is by Kristian J Herrera. (1/12) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey, it's #OpenScienceWeek! So many things happening, from data sharing to open source tools. We've contributed a bit over the years, starting with Pynapple to facilitate and standardize data analysis in neuroscience 👇 #openscience 1/4

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Wow. Hopfield model and Boltzmann machine.

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures. Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme

Winning the The Nobel Prize is the honour of a lifetime and the realisation of a lifelong dream - it still hasn’t really sunk in yet. With AlphaFold2 we cracked the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction: predicting the 3D structure of a protein purely from its

🚨🚨🚨 VERY excited to share our new paper on how AI can facilitate democratic deliberation, published today in Science Magazine! Together with MH Tessler 🇺🇦, summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, and other amazing collaborators at Google DeepMind we've been building the "Habermas Machine"

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with Evan Russek and Neil Burgess. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtz…

"Israeli" soldiers set fire to Mahdia Al-Shawa School in Beit Hanoun just right after the aid trucks arrived there, following more than forty days without food. They burned down the school and all the aid supplies, forcing the displaced people to evacuate by force.

I'm happy to share our Review article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences , "Cognitive Maps and Schizophrenia", synthesising evidence for representation-level abnormalities in the condition, and proposing directions for future work. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Completely wrong. Studies show that the HPV vaccine reduces & almost eliminates the risk of cervical cancer. And the COVID vaccine reduces your risk of serious illness & dying of the disease. Good luck 🇺🇸

I’m Professor Robert Howard, a clinical academic psychiatrist in London. I’m calling for the immediate release of Dr Hassam Abu Safiya and all other medical and allied health professionals from Gaza currently detained by Israeli forces.

DEBUNKED: As Elon Musk and the right-wing media continue spreading the harmful and baseless lie that British Asians are more likely to commit child abuse, the data keeps revealing the truth and proving this notion to be completely racist and untrue…

Very happy to see this out! Based on the microcircuit identified by Vollan et al., we made some interesting predictions about theta sweeps, especially theta modulated head direction cells which direct the left-right sweeps in downstream grid cells. Follow me on bsky for more info

Just published a commentary with @JennCRobinson & Patrick LaChance about modeling by Zilong Ji of exciting data from Abraham Zelalem Vollan and Edvard Ingjald Moser. Proposes that alternating theta sweeps shown in entorhinal cortex can scan future paths to guide navigation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share our latest paper: “Phase Precession Relative to Turning Angle in Theta-Modulated Head Direction Cells” together with Eleonora Lomi (co-first author), Kate Jeffery, Anna Mitchell🐒🐀🧠👩🏻‍🔬 Neil Burgess doi.org/10.1002/hipo.7…
