Nice piece about our team (@swc_niu) at @SWC_Neuro & @GatsbyUCL.

We’re building open source software tools for neuroscience and machine learning.

Find out more at our website (https://t.co/Y3fvIX6RiQ) and GitHub (https://t.co/zXCuUCyvpN).

@ASanchez_Tojar @_AEET_ @sortecoevo enhorabuena! 🥳

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

🎉 #AmadeusGPT is accepted at #NeurIPS! 🍾 Lead by my awesome PhD student @shaokaiyeah 💪

“This paper pioneers a practical way to integrate LLM to task programming”🙏🏼🤩😱thank you reviewers & AC!

Our 1st work on merging natural language & behavior🔥

[DeepLabCut 🦄 @DeepLabCut]

🥳 Come join us for the second edition of the DeepLabCut global Cajal course - online and local hubs across the 🌎🌍🌏, several hubs are led by former #DLCAIResidents!

[Sofia Miñano @SofiMinano]

@DeepLabCut 💃💃💃!!

[Sofia Miñano @SofiMinano]

@TrackingPlumes amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩 well jealous over here!! 🐻

[Alexander Mathis @TrackingPlumes]

This is the second time we organize this course. Last year we had 93 students from across the globe!

Here are the logos of the hubs we had then, from London, Nairobi, Munich, Buenos Aires and Warsaw. This year we hope to cast an even wider net!! Join us.

The course is co-directed by @taunbot

[Alexander Mathis @TrackingPlumes]

If you want to be a (paid) teaching assistant, to either teach online or organize a local hub please apply here https://t.co/vm1OHj0n1m or reach out! You can also chat with the amazing previous TAs such as
@facuemina @ChuckleScience @Sabrineiitor @SofiMinano @NicoleVissers1

[Alexander Mathis @TrackingPlumes]

We will have a fantastic teaching assistant to student ratio of 5 to 1 and the course fee is merely 200 EUR with generous stipends, if this is too much for you! You can participate remotely or join one of the many hubs around the world!!

[Alexander Mathis @TrackingPlumes]

Do you want to learn how to track poses, analyze what animals are doing, identify your favorite bear or link behavioral to neural data?

Join the hands-on, 5 day Cajal course from 6 to 10 November! https://t.co/HgpBsRB3du @Cajal_Training

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

Curious to learn how extracellular electrophysiology acquisition systems work and build one yourself?

📝Applications for our remote @Cajal_Training #Neurokit Course (Oct 9-13th) are open!

Apply here before August 22nd: https://t.co/lK91tZLhoI

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of using natural language for behavioral analysis: under the hood it leverages @OpenAI GPT models, @DeepLabCut  @cebraAI & @Meta SegmentAnything, and has a host of innovations

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

🔮Ever wished you could just say what behavioral analysis you wanted? ... "Plot the animal's trajectory" "Count the head hips in the open arm"

👀🪄we present AmadeusGPT🎻 to do this ...

@CaitNewport 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🤩

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

🤗 Watch this space 👀… in the next week we are looking to release what I think points to the next big thing in behavioral analysis 🔥🐭

[Sam Reiter @SamAlbertReiter]

A second is on cuttlefish camouflage, where we used machine learning approaches revealed a space of camouflage patterns and pattern dynamics much richer than expected, likely involving iterative visual refinement. https://t.co/vvz1X2PDmq

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

The dynamics of pattern matching in camouflaging cuttlefish

- very cool new work from @SamAlbertReiter and Gilles Laurent labs! 🔥

https://t.co/s6WVqJTpwT

[MPI for Brain Research @MpiBrain]

In a new exciting study published in @Nature today, researchers at @MpiBrain and @OISTedu have shown that the way cephalopods 🦑generate their camouflage pattern is much more complex than previously believed.
