New preprint bioRxiv Neuroscience w/ Andreas Tolias Lab @ Stanford University & more Our data-driven deep learning approach in🐭🐒identifies a new rule of contextual modulation in visual cortex Pattern completion/disruption wrt natural image stats = surround facilitation/suppression🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Having limited data to build a neural predictive model? Try Bayes, and you can get the uncertainty of the derived neuronal preference. See our work on #PLOSCompBio: doi.org/10.1371/journa…. Thank you so much for the great team!! Nan Wu Isabel Valera sinzlab Alexander Ecker @teulerlab

I think mouse V1 should not be called primary visual cortex, it does look more like an association area. Does it my fellow neuroscientists? cell.com/cell-reports/f…

To ask how similar the brain is to a neural network we need a similarity metric. In a new paper I asked how much the metric matters to downstream conclusions, and, upshot, it matters a great deal. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/7)

On my way to Frankfurt for the #BernsteinConference. Let's meet up if you're there. If you're looking for postdoc opportunities in #NeuroAI, touch base. We're hiring!

If you want to work with us on the interface of machine learning and neuroscience, consider applying through the ELLIS PhD Program.

I love it. Thanks eLife for taking a stance, continuing to move forward towards proper academic publishing and not getting distracted by antiquated business models that should have no place in science anyway. Way to go!
