New preprint out! 💃 where we show that low-D neural subspaces are not all there is in large-scale neural data. How can we capture other types of computationally relevant structure? With Arthur Pellegrino & Alex Cayco-Gajic. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Excited to share our preprint, with Jo Warren, James Whittington, and Tim Behrens! Hippocampus famously supports memory and scene construction, but recent state-space models have also explained a wealth of hippocampal results. Maybe it does both? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

Consider applying to this! Exciting science amidst fun people

📢 Calling postdocs from around the world 🌍 Come share your work with the London neuroscience community! No CVs, publication records, or recommendation letters needed. Learn more about the Emerging Neuroscientists Seminar Series and apply by 8 September: sainsburywellcome.org/web/content/em…

if you're at #SNE2023, come hear me talk about my work with Brody Lab about how a *single* cognitive 🧠 process can give rise to both history biases & lapses in decision-making - during the symposium on information sampling & integration. thanks Laura Globig for organizing!

This is a wholesome piece of work addressing long-standing questions about dynamics of neural populations during decision-making. Congrats Thomas Luo and Timothy Kim!

We’ve all heard of place cells: neurons that form a “cognitive map” representing the structure of the outside world. But what about our own structured behaviours? We took a deep mechanistic dive, out now on bioRxiv : biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵below:

Our Barcelona-based summer school, BAMB! (bambschool.org), just opened applications! Come join us: 16-25th July, to learn how to model behavioral data using RL, Bayesian, latent variable models, RNNs, DDMs & more! #BAMB2024

Come work with us at SWC! Multiple postdoc positions (both theory & experiment) are available in my group, to study computational & neural principles of statistical learning in the brain (of mice, rats, humans). Apply until March 18. Please share! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Excited to see the final version out eLife - the journal. A long journey since the 1st draft as we ran experiments to test new model's predictions. Thanks to reviewers whose comments made it a better paper! vizhe, A Pezzotta, ClopathLab Image by julia kuhl at somedonkey.bsky.social article: elifesciences.org/articles/86725…

Very excited to have posted a new preprint on my PhD work in the Brody Lab where we show that rats can achieve near-optimal time investment in a confidence-guided waiting task biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Postdocs of the world! Come and present your work to the SWC community. We'd love to hear about you and your research. Apply to #ENSS by August 5.
