.@bingbrunton presenting a worm connectome controlling a fly body was a top three conference moment for me. The point: it's pretty easy to fool yourself into thinking that plausible-looking behavior is a meaningful sim https://t.co/nhjWqIPwRu

Plunging into Week 2 of the Cajal Quantitative Approaches to Behavior and VR summer school!

Yesterday we trained supervised behavior classifiers on CalMS21; you can work through the tutorial yourself here: https://t.co/gV6Z4iFusS

1/ I am excited to introduce my PhD work with @twit_tats2, @greg_stephens, and @shaevitz, on the 3D tracking and analysis of pairwise zebrafish fights! How do zebrafish interact socially to establish dominance?

Check out the preprint!

A brief return to twitter to share our new preprint.

If you want to uncover interpretable low-dimensional factors in your neural population activity in an unsupervised way - check it out!

Great new work from the lab
Congrats @rich_gast et al 👏

[Ann Kennedy @Antihebbiann]

Very excited to share @rich_gast's new PNAS paper from the lab, with @SaraASolla.

We ask: does cell type heterogeneity affect what neural networks can compute? How might different brain regions leverage heterogeneity to achieve different things?

New biosensors have helped reveal the activity of neuropeptides in the brain, researchers report in Science, providing novel tools for studying the release, function, and regulation of these crucial signaling molecules in vivo. https://t.co/zNkLighq0t; https://t.co/SIN0zxofKz

Congrats @GoldschmidtDe looking forward to reading it!

[Carlos Ribeiro @RibeiroCarlitos]

We are thrilled to share our latest manuscript @Ribeirolab on interactions between #foraging #decisions and #internalstates led by @GoldschmidtDe and @TastekinIbrahim. And yes! We also have a #neuron underlying these decisions! https://t.co/l9hBoDoyu7 #Drosophila #neuroscience

Happy to announce two new papers out in Nature today! One is on octopus sleep, where Neuropixels recordings shows a wake-like stage of 'active sleep' accompanied by rapidly changing skin patterns that match those of waking behavior https://t.co/wbtWcFHvYM
