@roaldarbol @bonsai_rx @opencvlibrary @BonVision_ @Raspberry_Pi Write-up hopefully will happen at the time of releasing 2.7 when we have a chance to smooth some of the rough edges.

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@roaldarbol @bonsai_rx @opencvlibrary @BonVision_ @Raspberry_Pi Only tried USB cameras so far, but if Pi cameras can be accessed through OpenCV camera capture then it should be possible to access them.

@roaldarbol @bonsai_rx @opencvlibrary @BonVision_ @Raspberry_Pi @code This is the actual @code :)

@PathogenDavid @tannergooding I would definitely tune in 😃

[Prof Aman Saleem @Aman_sal]

My @openneurosci @BonVision_ talk starting soon: 4pm UK, 5pm CET, 11am EST, 8am PST...

I'll be demo'ing some exciting new features.

We are v interested in feedback and discussing future developments!

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

Just a couple of years ago I would probably be sitting on the camp saying this is too crazy of an approach to work, but glad to have been proven wrong by @PathogenDavid.

I now deeply believe this has the potential to revolutionize the way the .NET community does native interop.

@tiagogmarques @mjoanasa @manuel__pita So many fond memories! ☺️

@StevenDakin @BonVision_ @eLife We've contacted Tobii about this and unfortunately they clarified they don't support integrating their API into free open-source products without charging a commercial license, even if done for research purposes. Thoughts on Pupil Core?

[BonVision @BonVision_]

The BonVision paper is now published @elife (https://t.co/WwetxXE8vJ).

BonVision is a software that allows easy creation and control of closed-loop visual environments – perfect for all your visual experiments.

[NeuroGEARS @neurogears]

We are incredibly excited to announce we are part of the eMOTIONAL Cities project, which will explore how the natural and built urban environments shape brain circuits and human behaviour. Join us to discuss the future of people-centred, robust cities: https://t.co/GWrDLDGra6

@peter_finnie @bonsai_rx @PatMont_ @TheFrontalLobe_ Thanks @peter_finnie it was indeed incredible fun, also my first time patching, thanks everyone for making it so enjoyable!

[Patricia Monteiro @PatMont_]

Open-source tools are revolutionizing neuroscience. Thanks to @neurogears @MiniscopeTeam @DeepLabCut @OpenEphys and many others, we now have free tools that can all be integrated through @bonsai_rx. We've published a quick guide to help you get started 💪

@piamancini @NeilKNet @signalapp As an international umbrella of collectives, isn’t open collective already perfectly positioned to do this? It seems like it would basically be a kind of TransferWise in reverse: https://t.co/99DS6TaMIw

@pfau @jh_jacobsen What I feel is missing are more systematic attempts to articulate coherent frameworks of thought. Not sure about the best format is to encourage this, perhaps through focused collections of articles or even books?

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@pfau @jh_jacobsen Aren’t all these replies taken together slightly contradictory? If both high-impact and low-impact journals are out, self-publishing through pre-prints or blog posts is out, and social media is out, what is left really?

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@StatesWarring In other words, having a receptive mind without an ability to figure out why things are happening leads you into “blind alleys”, which is exactly what we see happening to modern AI too, they get stuck in their own self generated biases, unable to transcend them.

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@StatesWarring I take that is a valid argument (even if I disagree), but I still don’t see how it follows from your comments above on Taoism (which were great btw). It seems to me you are giving a specific ML technique way too much credit in understanding how the world works.

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@StatesWarring A great thread, but I really don’t understand how this claim about gradient descent follows from anything you have said above. Gradient descent is about a method of optimization w.r.t to a well-defined cost function. Human learning is anything but well defined.

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@UnoPlatform @bonsai_rx We currently have the core fully ported to .NET 5.0 and would happily directly develop the port and even support it in several ways, including financially if there was a path to collaboration. This is FOSS but happy to DM for more details.

[Gonçalo Lopes @glopesdev]

@UnoPlatform This is exactly what we would like to do for the @bonsai_rx IDE. Its a visual programming language, so depends heavily on its graphical interface for editing and debugging. Its basically a micro-VS on top of Winforms with a property grid, a nuget package manager, and debugger.
