Yesterday my changes to the LLaMA C++ file format were approved. Here's how folks in the community have been reacting to my work. https://t.co/cLzg19n81f

[Alexander Ecker @alxecker]

📣Excited to share our preprint on excitatory morphological cell types in mouse visual cortex led by Marissa Weis. In this paper, we describe a set of principles that capture the morphological diversity excitatory neurons. A thread: (1/10)

LLMs will change *everything* for teaching. I want to develop a set of procedures for @neuromatch to utilize their potential. So looking to build a (volunteer) group to build a suite of tools that use LLMs to improve teaching. Broadly construed. DM me if interested.

[Zhiwei Ding @zeeweeding]

Excited that my thesis work in collab w/ with Dat T. Tran & @AToliasLab is out as a preprint

We use #DeepLearning to study single-cell invariance in 🐭 V1 and discover a new form of bipartite invariance that may play a role in object boundary detection.

The only thing I love more than neuroscience is... teaching neuroscience.

Here's a video series of my undergrad “Intro to Neuro” class. Adding new topics regularly. Check them out!

Exciting opportunity to come work with us @AllenInstitute for Neural Dynamics! 🐭🧠🔬⚡️Happy to answer questions about the position. 🙏🏼 Please retweet & share 🙏🏼

[Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩‍🔬🐵 @neuroamyo]

The noisy review process tipped in our favor! Huge congratulations to @NeuroPavi and co-authors on the COSYNE poster acceptance. And looking forward to seeing some fun science in Montreal 🎉

[Open Ephys https://bsky.app/profile/openephys.bsky @OpenEphys]

Open Ephys has some big news: we have been awarded a Phase II SBIR to develop exciting new tech using our open-hardware standards. We are looking for an engineer to help us with this! Here are some reasons you might want to apply...

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

So many new labs starting this fall👏✨ #newPI pro tip: whatever time, money, and effort you invest in solid data management pipelines and git controlled code is worth it. When I started 5 years ago (today), it was a priority and it’s so, so worth it. #BetterCodeBetterResearch

[Oscar Vivas @Vivas_ol]

Two job applications, two offers. Happy to join both departments. I am delighted to announce that I will start my lab as an Assistant Professor in @UWPharmacology & @UW_PBIO in January 2023.

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has accelerated model-building across many disciplines. It’s also useful for studying cognition: We present Mixed Neural Likelihood Estimation, an SBI method tailored to models of decision-making! By @janfiete @janmatthis @_rdgao @jakhmack

[A Schulz @SchulzAuguste]

👏👏 Definitely the right decision to use this method for DDM parameter inference if you care about reducing your electricity consumption - which I hope is all of you reading this 🌎🔥 congrats @_rdgao @janmatthis @jakhmack and in particular congrats @janfiete

5 billion people use the internet.

Less than 1% understand it.

This mega thread will get you up to speed—starting today:

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

Thanks @FENSorg & @EJNeuroscience for the award-it’s an honor to lecture on our motor learning work & #deeplearning tools to aid in this quest: @DeepLabCut @cebraAI.

Thanks to my mentors who taught me to be a scientist: T. Jessell, H. Wichterele, @naoshigeuchida @MatthiasBethge

[aoLab @aolab_neuro]

Congrats to @NeuroPavi for presenting her work @ AREADNE! She's looking at credit assignment learning in BCI at both the neuron and population levels. Surprisingly, initial results suggest learning leads to relatively sparse but high-dimensional solutions!

[Claudia Moreno @Cladoni]

Ready to start the @UW Science Summer Program for high school students of color. I launched this program last year and it doubled for 2022. Grateful for the participation of @UW_PBIO @UWPharmacology @UWBiochemistry @uwpathology @BioStructureUW UWImmunology @UWBioE @UWChemistry

[Jaan Aru @jaaanaru]

Can you guess what's hidden in these images? How did you arrive at the solution? Can we build AI algorithms that solve it in a similar way?

We developed a new dataset to investigate the iterative generation and refinement of perceptual hypotheses.🧵
