If you missed it on Sunday, my poster about a new technique to study fine inhibitory cell types using spatial transcriptomics is still on this afternoon (poster 649)! With Kenneth D Harris Matteo Carandini Yoh Isogai #FENS2020poster #FENS2020




If you wanted to estimate (causal?) connectivity from multielectrode array data, what code would you use today? The last time I thought about this my answer would have been nature.com/articles/natur… Jonathan Pillow Andreas Tolias Lab @ Stanford University Kording Lab 🦖 @neurowitz David Cox




We introduce a new approach for image compression: instead of storing the pixels in an image, we store the weights of an MLP overfitted to the image 🌟 At low bit-rates this can do better than JPEG! arxiv.org/abs/2103.03123 with Adam Golinski Milad Alizadeh Yee Whye Teh Arnaud Doucet



1. How does learning affect population codes in visual cortex? We asked this in a new study with Samuel W. Failor and Matteo Carandini. Looking at single cells, the results are perplexing. Looking at populations, they make sense. Now on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…

Come for Bayesian GPFA which automatically learns the latent dimensionality of neural data; stay for analyses of multi-region & preparatory activity in 30 minute long recordings from a self-paced reaching task! (with Calvin Kao,Jasmine Stone,Guillaume Hennequin) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Philip Shamash paper on navigating to goals by learning subgoal locations is now out! Thank you to reviewers and editors for supporting publication of a pure behaviour paper. May this become ever more common. Behaviour is one of the best windows into the brain.

Bokeh 2.4 is out! Built-in LaTeX equation support for axes and markups (with more coming), SVG improvements, and a re-written Contributor's Guide all part of CZI Science grant work! Plus many other improvements, read about everything at blog.bokeh.org/bokeh-2-4-6f8a…

How does the visual system discern eye movements? Visit our poster S04-547 on Monday 2PM to learn from @AnjaSchwartzlose how the visual superior colliculus encodes visual motion and saccade direction in different populations of neurons. #FENS20222 Sylvia Schröder Timothy SIT

Interested in the functional specialization of dendrites for sensory processing? Come hear our nanosymposium (016.02) today at #SfN2022! Anyi Liu, Letizia Mariotti, Naureen Ghani, Charu Reddy, Kenneth D Harris Matteo Carandini


Now published in Neuron! What is the role of cortex in combining auditory and visual information to localize objects in space? Find out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… Work with Timothy SIT, Miles Wells, Matteo Carandini, and Kenneth D Harris
