I am pleased to announce the publication of our latest research in Cell Reports, led by Dr. Jennifer Robinson (Jennifer Robinson) in collaboration with Dr. Michael Hasselmo (Michael Hasselmo). Our study demonstrates that spatial and temporal coding by grid cells depends on inputs

Excited to share our updated preprint on the neural basis of foraging decisions! This work was co-led by Michael Bukwich (twitterless, now at UCL) and me, with major contributions from co-authors, and the incredible animation is by Kristian J Herrera. (1/12) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"... grid-like codes ... locked to saccades ... suggesting that grid signals contributed to memory formation ... grid-like coding was coupled to ... frontal eye fields" Great to see the visual grids model (Bicanski&Burgess 2019) tested experimentally. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with Evan Russek and Neil Burgess. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtz…

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Innovations by many in the history of AI. Shun-ichi Amari's important contributions shall not be forgotten. (I made this slide for a talk at OIST a couple of weeks ago) theconversation.com/japanese-scien…

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

🌍🧠💻Applications are well and truly open for the third CaMinA. African nationals studying biology, medicine, engineering, maths etc. can, and should, apply for this summer school in Zambia. Neuro and ML are changing the world and now I the time to get into them, please RT!

A postdoc position is available in my lab at QMUL, London. We study the neural mechanisms of spatial navigation and sensory integration using virtual reality. Experience with awake-behaving mice, ephys recording, and Matlab or Python is desirable. qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/ap…

🧠New paper at #ICLR2025! The functional role of the primate ventral stream is usually thought to be object recognition. But might the ventral stream be optimized for spatial tasks estimating object position and pose? The answer seems to be Yes. 1/N Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=emMMa…

Thank you Mike, I really enjoyed reading your commentary! 👀
