Neuroscientist @DPZ_eu interested in how complex behavior is caused by the interplay of neural dynamics, connectivity structure, and oscillatory synchrony.

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.

Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

With a very striking visual summary

@Zurna90 @DPZ_eu @smgDPZ Congrats Zurna!

[Martin Vinck @martin_a_vinck]

New paper led by the great @OnoratoIrene!

We show how the activity of distinct inhibitory interneurons is precisely coordinated in time with network activity

@ThosVarley @spornslab Congrats Thomas!

[Benjamin Dann @dann_benjamin]

@ThosVarley Congrats, Thomas on your new postdoc position!

[Olivier Codol @OlivierCodol]

Modeling motor control typically requires stitching together multiple neural and biomechanical modeling frameworks.

So, we created MotorNet — a toolbox to study neural architectures/learning, muscle dynamics, delays, noise, and tasks, all under one roof!

I'm excited to announce our preprint for the Neuropixels 1.0-NHP probe. This represents a large-scale collaborative effort to develop high-density electrodes for neural recording in large animal models like nonhuman primates. https://t.co/z5hv70VZKc

How synergistic is the brain?

Distributed representations of prediction error signals across the cortical hierarchy are synergistic https://t.co/4sy1RTMVH6

work led by Frank Gelens and @canalesjohnson

[Thomas F. Varley @ThosVarley]

I'm pleased to announce that our paper on information dynamics and motor activity in behaving macaques is finally out in PNAS!

A great collaboration between @spornslab @dann_benjamin @SSchaffelhofer and @HansScherberger

@Zurna90 @CNL_DPZ Congrats, Zurna!

[Martin Vinck @martin_a_vinck]

Excited to share our new preprint w. Giorgos Spyropoulos, @Mars_Schneider, Thiele Lab. We contrast — in 🐭& 🐵 — the physiological relevance and mechanisms underlying two effects of attention: 1. enhanced inter-areal coherence & 2. firing rates🧵👇1/15

New preprint with @uranc__ and @canalesjohnson:

The neural dynamics of feedforward and feedback interactions in predictive processing

@RuneWBerg @DFF_raad @lundbeckfonden @Carlsbergfondet Congrats Rune!

[Timo Hueser @hueser_timo]

🚨Update🚨

Check out the new Version 1.2 of our AnnotationTool, it comes with a bunch of new features, improvements and bug-fixes including:
- A live-updating 3D viewer
- A much more stable calibration mode

Get it here:

Closing up the #BridgingTechGapWkshp with a cool introduction to JARVIS 🤖 thank you @hueser_timo

[Nicola Pedreschi (nicopedre.bsky.social) @NicolaPedreschi]

My co-authors, @DemianBattaglia and @alainbarrat, and I are excited to announce that our paper "The temporal rich club phenomenon" has now been published on @NaturePhysics !

https://t.co/f3a7Tj0dek

I thank and congratulate with my two colleagues (my PhD supervisors!)

[Benjamin Dann @dann_benjamin]

@ThosVarley Funny coincidence 😆!

Your thread also touches a lot of things I haven’t talked about. Both threads together should really give a good overview of our preprint 😄!

[Thomas F. Varley @ThosVarley]

🚨Updated pre-print!🚨
New Tweetprint for an awesome project I've been working on with @spornslab, @dann_benjamin, @SSchaffelhofer, and @HansScherberger.

How does information theory give us insights linking neural "computation" and behavior? [1/n]
