Congratulations to Grant Stevens (2nd Year CDT student) for giving a successful live webinar as part of EDT (Engineering Development Trust)'s Insight into University course! Outstanding ambassador as always👏​​​​​​ linkedin.com/posts/ellen-gu…👏

Happy to share that our paper is out in #eLife. We introduce a general framework for interpreting wide-band neural activity, including unsorted neural data + calcium imaging as well as ECoG signals. The paper + code and all datasets are #openaccess! elifesciences.org/articles/66551

I'm starting to think the word "soon" doesn't mean .3 seconds after I last refreshed the page #NeurIPS2021

With new advances in brain imaging, early next year it will be possible to optically sample the voltage of all neurons in a 0.6x0.6x0.5 mm volume at 1 kHz. Single spike resolution of complete cortical columns (in mice)!

I’m excited to share that my software AstronomicAL and the corresponding paper has been published in the Journal for Open Source Software JOSS . github.com/grant-m-s/astr…

I am very honoured to be part of this amazing family of women in Robotics! 🎉 This year's and previous years' lists are such inspiring people! #WomenInRobotics #ibuildrobots

First up today we have Pecha Kucha talks (short presentations) from our 2nd & 3rd yr students. How much can they fit in 20x20 second slides?! 🙂

In neurophysiology people often estimate "phase coherence", ie the trial-to-trial alignment of some brain signal (EEG/MEG/LFP) to some oscillation. This is hard using frequentist stats, so Sydney Dimmock, me & @conorjh developed a better Bayesian method: elifesciences.org/articles/84602

turns out brain representations of the world can 'drift' over days-weeks, even when behaviour is stable. The causes of this drift are unclear. Here we (i.e. Kipp Freud) find that reward and sharp-wave ripples correlate better with hippocampal drift that mere time or experience
