Here, Corin Orlemann our and collaborators at IMTEK (Freiburg) tested polymer electrodes in the visual cortex of mice for artificial perception. They lasted longer than the lifespan of the mice, withstood 10B pulses and did not cause much tissue damage. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Many congratulations to Rainer Goebel for winning the ERC advanced grant! maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/how-do-we…

We have an exciting position for a PhD student or postdoc working on the processes that transform visual inputs into image understanding. the candidate will study neuronal activity at various levels of the visual cortex. herseninstituut.nl/vacatures/phd-…

So sad to read this. Dan was a giant and a gentleman, a ceaseless source of deep and joyful ideas

Neuroprostheses to electrically stimulate the brain of e.g. blind individuals benefit from monitoring of neurons, to test if the activation suffices. Feng Wang et al. compared methods to remove electrical artefacts that would otherwise obscure the signal. doi.org/10.1016/j.jneu…

Fantastic work, Koen! Great that you can finally share this last paper of your PhD work. This was a super inspiring HBP-funded Human Brain Project project with the labs of Lars Muckli now at: larsmuckli.bsky.social , Matthew Larkum Pieter Roelfsema with so much help from all coauthors!

Pleased to announce our Generative Adversarial Collaboration at CogCompNeuro #CCN2024 “Is V1 a Cognitive Map?” And we need YOUR help! Please Download + Comment on the Proposal by Clicking the Following Link: sites.google.com/ccneuro.org/ga… Outline of GAC in 🧵 below!

Our lab at the Institut de la Vision (IDV) in Paris is seeking a PhD student or postdoc. The project explores the function and organisation of the macaque visual brain using high channel count neural interfaces for neuroscience and prosthetics. institut-vision.org/en/job-offers/…

This new paper spearheaded by Matt Self shows the link between border-ownership tuning in area V4 of the visual cortex and figure-ground signals in area V1, by an analysis of the pattern of noise correlations between neurons in these two cortical areas. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Paolo Papale et al. find that the representation of borders of objects in natural scenes are special in the visual brain. Borders elicit extra activity in area V1. There is an early effect reflecting receptive field tuning and a later, contextual effect. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Here is Matt Self's preprint on the responses of LGN neurons in a human patient, together with Osvaldo Vilela, Sergio Neuenschwander and others. The cells had center-surround receptive fields, and showed surprising activity changes when an eye was closed. researchsquare.com/article/rs-558…

Paolo Papale's THINGS ventral stream spiking dataset (TVSD) came out. It is open and contains neuronal responses in V1, V4 and IT to ~25,000 THINGS images. We expect that the dataset will be useful to compare the visual brain to deep neural networks. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We have a PhD-position at the institute de la Vision in to develop optogenetic stimulation in macaques to induce and refine artificial vision for blind people. For information about the position and the application procedure, see institut-vision.org/en/job-offers/…

We have a postdoc-position at the institute de la Vision to develop high density recordings throughout the monkey brain. For information about the position and the application procedure, see institut-vision.org/en/job-offers/…..
