Neuroscience and AI at @uniGoettingen and @uni_tue/@Cyber_Valley. 🇮🇷🇮🇳🇩🇪🇵🇱 🇧🇷.

[sinzlab @sinzlab]

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student or PostDoc to develop machine learning tools for neuroscience (digital twins) to explore the link between visual processing and behavior. If you're interested please send your CV to [email protected]. Please retweet!

Excited to share that I have received an #ERCCoG to develop deep learning models for understanding the interaction of motor movement and visual processing in freely moving mice. I am very grateful for this opportunity. Stay tuned for job openings. @ERC_Research

New study @CellReports🥳

Using recordings & #deepnet driven image synthesis we find an intriguing difference btw🐭&🐒 visual cortex/V1

🐭: complex, non-Gabor like receptive fields
🐒: Gabor-like RFs

Team effort🙌@jiakunfu @AToliasLab @sinzlab & more👇

New preprint @biorxiv_neursci w/ @AToliasLab & more

Our data-driven deep learning approach in🐭🐒identifies a new rule of contextual modulation in visual cortex

Pattern completion/disruption wrt natural image stats = surround facilitation/suppression🧵👇

In Goettingen they are hiring no less than 12 people on the topic of curiosity: https://t.co/p47dG5gFOg wow.

[Sensorium @SensoriumComp]

NeurIPS Sensorium Competition workshop is happening on Friday from 1:30–4:30 in room 357. Explore with us the state of the art and future of predictive models of neural responses. Keynotes by @dyamins, Colin Conwell and @s_y_chung

[Sensorium @SensoriumComp]

⏰Just a week⏰  left to present your neuroscience poster as a part of NeurIPS Sensorium Competition workshop. Join the brilliant 💎 talks and show your finding to the neuroscience community on Dec 15th  1/3

[Konstantin Willeke @KonstantinWille]

📢 Our NeurIPS Sensorium Competition has finished🧠

Join our conference workshop on Dec 15! We're proud to have great keynote speakers: @s_y_chung, @dyamins & Colin Conwell

There will be a poster session, see details for our call for posters and the competition results below 👇

How can machine learning be used to generate insights and theories in neuroscience?

We recorded the Bernstein panel I moderated, w/ Katrin Franke @kfrankelab, Ralf Haefner @haefnerlab, Martin Hebart @martin_hebart, Yogi Jaeger @yoginho, & Fred Wolf.

Congrats to the winners and thanks for participating.

[Sensorium @SensoriumComp]

The Sensorium 2023 competition is over. Here are the winning teams:
🥇IRomul
🥈YuZhu
🥉dunedin
All winners used custom architectures. To learn more about their approaches, join our in-person workshop at NeurIPS on Friday, Dec 15, 2023. 🗓️ 1/4

Last chance to submit your best predictive models for visual cortex and video!

[Alexander Ecker @alxecker]

📢 Deadline extension for our Sensorium competition to Oct. 15! One more month to join us in finding the best predictive model for neural activity in the mouse primary visual cortex!

[sinzlab @sinzlab]

Come and join us at a workshop in how machine learning can be used to generate insights and theories in neuroscience! Looking forward to a stimulating workshop.

[Alexander Ecker @alxecker]

🧠Let’s explore the Intersection of Machine Learning and Neuroscience! Join us in Berlin on Sep 26+27 for the Bernstein Conference workshop “How can machine learning be used to generate insights and theories in neuroscience?”

[sinzlab @sinzlab]

Second round! This time with videos. Dig out your best models and predict neural responses to video 💪.

[Sensorium @SensoriumComp]

Do you want to understand how the brain 🧠 dynamically processes visual stimuli? Join #Sensorium2023 at #NeurIPS2023, where your dynamic model competes 🏆 to predict tens of thousands of neurons in early mouse visual system! 🐭 1/7

[sinzlab @sinzlab]

Here is a nice little idea we had how to generate better and faster MEIs (maximally exciting inputs). Even better: the method is not specific to MEIs.

[Paweł Pierzchlewicz @ppierzc]

My latest preprint is out! 🥳

We introduced a new diffusion guidance method EGG 🥚 using energy functions that allowed us to optimize neurally exciting images.

Many thanks to @KonstantinWille @ArneNix @pavithraE_ @kfrankelab @AToliasLab @sinzlab

Check out the preprint now

Our first monkey V4 work is out on bioRxiv 🤗. Great teamwork with @KonstantinWille @kelli_restivo @AToliasLab @kfrankelab and @alxecker. Check out the tweet-feed 👇

[Andreas Tolias Lab @ Stanford University @AToliasLab]

Does the concept of cortical columns extend to higher-level primate cortex?

Using #DeepLearning & physiology, we found that V4 neurons cluster in columns & form functional groups https://t.co/Eq7x5keSn0
