‼️ It's finally out ‼️

How does our #brain tell apart #approaching objects based on context?

Check out our work where we address how the #SuperiorColliculus discriminate between self- and object-generates #looming stimuli!

‼️How do mice distinguish self-generated vs. object-generated looming stimuli? Our new study combines VR and neural recordings from the superior colliculus (SC) 🧠🐭 to explore this question.

Check out our preprint https://t.co/prCPyXZtdH

Fun, collaborative effort with.... 🧵

Last 3 days to apply for a postdoc position in our lab!

[Prof Aman Saleem @Aman_sal]

New job alert!

My lab (https://t.co/fr0xyOii05) has a new postdoc / senior postdoc opening. They will be part of an exciting research supported by ERC & UKRI, studying vision during navigation. Projects range from purely computational to performing new physiological recordings.

Huge congrats to @Karyna_mi for her paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://t.co/6RgR5Iu6FL 1/7

[Daniel Bendor @BendorD]

Two new postdoc positions available at UCL's Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience, with job adverts to be posted shortly. Feel free to DM if interested...

[Prof Aman Saleem @Aman_sal]

@dsitaraman yes! see you there?

[Prof Aman Saleem @Aman_sal]

Pleasantly surprised to see our recent paper to be chosen as a Research Highlight by @NatureNeuro
(Also feeling very proud of @eabhorrocks)

[Georg Keller @georg98keller]

We convert our setup monitors to synchronize them to the microscopes (2p and WF) they are used with (to reduce contamination light). Peter Buchmann at @FMIscience has made a PCB boards that can be used to convert Dell U2722D monitors.

[Adil Khan @adilgkhan]

Delighted to share our paper on task-switching and prediction errors.

https://t.co/SaZdO0UCH6

How does the brain update its current knowledge of the world to guide flexible behaviour? Prediction errors are key! Pls read & share if you find these questions interesting. Thread:

[Prof Aman Saleem @Aman_sal]

So happy that this paper is finally out! Epic work from @eabhorrocks at @NatureComms

Since the first draft of ... 2 of 3 of the authors had kids (lab should start a daycare 😂) ... been quite a journey.

[Edward Horrocks @eabhorrocks]

Excited to share my new paper (with @Aman_sal and @FabioRibRod):

Interested in:
- neural population dynamics?
- neural correlations?
- sub-second timescale neural encoding?
- state-dependent sensory processing?
