I am happy to announce that my Master's work is out on @NeuroCellPress. We found some clues on its relation with visual function but I am still curious to know more about it. Thank you @haiderlab and co-authors!

[Shaked Palgi @shakedpa]

I am excited to share my PhD work on head-direction cells recorded in the wild, now published in @ScienceMagazine, where we recorded neurons in bats flying outdoors on an island.

We’re thrilled to see our advanced ML models and EMG hardware — that transform neural signals controlling muscles at the wrist into commands that seamlessly drive computer interactions — appearing in the latest edition of @Nature.

We're excited to announce the Brain-to-Text '25 competition, with a new intracortical speech neuroscience dataset and $9,000 in prizes generously provided by @BlackrockNeuro_!. Can you do better than us at decoding speech-related neural activity into text?

Do you work with text data for your job or research? We’d love to talk to you!

We're running a paid user study at CMU to understand how people explore and visualize text data while programming—and to gather feedback on our new open-source visualization tool.

This is a preprint from Frank lab! Alison did an awesome job of analyzing how the content of generative place representations in the rat hippocampus correlates with behavior during a foraging task.

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7

Thrilled to announce that I will start my lab at Northwestern University @NUFeinbergMed @Neuroscience_NU @NuinComm in January 2025!!

My lab will study circuit mechanisms for active vision and dream perception, using behaving/sleeping mice. https://t.co/2rB3EIEU6U

Humans can choose to remember specific past events. Can animals do the same?

We used neurofeedback in rats to answer this question. Check out our preprint: https://t.co/rtPS70ypuL

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice!

Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side is Friday May 24.

Let's all write in with our thoughts about what this cut means for scientific progress and for medical advances to help patients suffering the most devastating neurological and psychiatric illnesses.

Please see instruction links and more information here:
