I'm interested in quantitative behaviour and neuroscience, and lately have been looking at cuttlefish.

We are pleased to announce a major faculty recruiting push at @OISTedu. We hope to hire 20 faculty over the next 3 years, with as many as 10 in this initial round.

@EvoNeuralCode @WeissShahaf Thanks very much Mark!

Happy to announce two new papers out in Nature today! One is on octopus sleep, where Neuropixels recordings shows a wake-like stage of 'active sleep' accompanied by rapidly changing skin patterns that match those of waking behavior https://t.co/wbtWcFHvYM

The interview of #OISTPhDStudent, Aditi Pophale, who is the first author of this paper has been interviewed! Check this out to get some tips how to be a successful PhD student.

Congratulations @SamAlbertReiter & Aditi✨🥳

@antoniocbscosta Thanks Antonio!

@aguilarr_m @EricLeonardis Good question! Turns out it is possible to head fix octopuses, and they will readily fall asleep under head fixation.

@RangarajuVidhya Thanks Vidhya!

[Sam Reiter @SamAlbertReiter]

@UW @OIST_TSVP @MpiBrain Nature did a nice summary video on the octopus work, where you can see first authors Aditi Pophale and Tomo Mano at work, and a rare citing of @CephWarden when he isn't diving. Octopus brain recordings were worked out by the inimitable Kazumichi Shimizu. https://t.co/FcLBLdRPLz

[Sam Reiter @SamAlbertReiter]

Both studies were wonderful collaborations, the octopus work with Leenoy Meshulam @UW and who visited Okinawa as part of @OIST_TSVP, and the cuttlefish work with the lab of Gilles Laurent @MpiBrain

@TrackingActions Thanks very much Mackenzie!

@CambNeuroTech Definitely helps surgeries, but the whole no bones issue is a challenge

@matosches @AlonsoOrGu @AstridD_93 @ECBJaeger Very cool!

[Sam Reiter @SamAlbertReiter]

We are looking for caretakers of our cuttlefish, octopus and squids in Okinawa at @OISTedu ! Here is the JD, happy to take any questions. https://t.co/XbvZCpWkyt

@_fernando_rosas Small nocturnal mammals in the age of reptiles becoming diurnal more recently where vision is more advantageous? Not sure if mammals got better at audition.
