Our new preprint (with @soyoun_neurosci and others) addresses a mystery in neuroscience: the entire brain fires during movements, so how does that not interfere with every other brain function?
Hint: it involves #manifolds!

We are excited to share our new paper in @NatureComms in which we examine feedforward and
feedback interactions between brain areas. This work was led by Joao Semedo, with Adam Kohn (Einstein), Christian Machens (Champalimaud), Anna Jasper (Einstein), and team. (1/n)
This deceiving grid tricks you into thinking there's a curved line somewhere, but you can't find it. The purposefully placed gray lines of squares in a curved formation will induce your peripheral vision to interpolate curved lines [read more: https://t.co/AExsDOkINK]
The field of #neuroscience is a bit bizarre isn’t it; the #brain is working to understand itself. Our next guest, Dr. Larry Abbott, takes this to the next level as he bridges bench work with theoretical models to discover principles behind how the brain makes sense of our world.
Science is A LOT of failure. With recent fellowship announcements, many are facing the feeling of rejection. When experiments fail, or papers get rejected, what keeps you motivated? Listen as Dr. Chalfie comments on what it takes to make things work in the lab. #ScienceTwitter
The 6th edition of Principles of Neural Science is now out! It contains an entirely new chapter on Brain-Machine Interfaces (Chapter 39), co-authored by Krishna Shenoy (@shenoystanford) and me.

Twitter folks!
What's the fastest and reliable way to transfer large files (adding up to 4-10 terabytes), to an external storage drive?
p.s. I have looked into portable SSDs (usb3.1 and thunderbolt), but their capacity maxes out close to 2 TB :(
After >2 years of effort by our team in 7 labs, we present to you: 3 million choices from 101 mice in a standardized decision-making task. 🐭

Wow, well done COSYNE: “The goal of this year’s meeting is to promote early stage investigators. Therefore, there are no invited talks from established researchers.”

The single most useful thing I've learned this year is that you can trick Zoom into letting you use presenter view!
Share screen -> advanced -> portion of screen. Change the size of the green box so it only captures the presentation. RT to make someone's day 😃
For people who are seeking role models and interesting stories about women in neuroscience. Or just in general want to start listening to a really good podcast series - checkout @storiesofwin
Last year I confronted my own bias when I failed to notice an all male list of potential speakers. This inspired me to start #storiesofWiN to highlight stories and discoveries of women neuroscientist of all backgrounds. We are launching soon! Follow @storiesofwin to stay updated

Very nice collaboration with V. Roggerone, C. Tarlao and C. Guastavino. We provide a connection between sound localization and sound motion perception through the upper limit (UL) speed of sound direction discrimination. 1/2
