Our paper describing our novel (and the only) method for algorithmically parameterizing breathing data has *finally* been accepted for publication!

Check the code out if you have ever breathed air and please contact me if you have any feedback!

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.

@realDonaldTrump is in court RIGHT NOW to rip away her health care. This November, let's #ProtectOurCare by voting for Joe. #TrumpTownHall

I'm late to the game on this but this account is hilarious.

@Tomdonoghue Yo it’s so fun. I just started playing and it’s the most fun ever. All I know is don’t be a caster the first time and make sure your group has a healer.

@scottrcole @_rdgao Lmao

Only cool people get it

[Torben Noto @torbenator5]

@_rdgao @scottrcole He video called me and asked to explain it 😂

[Torben Noto @torbenator5]

@dubiousdueler Yeah! That sounds like a great approach in place of my non-plan :)
Good luck and I'm excited to see what you find!

We just pushed a big usability update to our respiratory data analysis code! You can now manually adjust/annotate/reject automatically extracted respiratory features using this GUI. Our code is open and free (except matlab) and can be downloaded here: https://t.co/hS0BF0xBit

@dubiousdueler Really good work has been done on understanding this in animal models but I think we use breathing in a very unique way. This should be reflected by differences in circuits generating these rhythms but it’s so hard to measure them in humans. So I don’t know what to do 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Torben Noto @torbenator5]

@dubiousdueler Besides the clear differences in breathing rate and complexity in the signals, pausing is entirely different between rodents and humans. Many people pause after exhales, rarely after inhales, while rodents tend to pause after inhales.

@micahgallen @visceral_mind @legrandni Awesome! I was initially going to write it in python (which I vastly prefer) but everyone I know in olfaction and respiration who codes uses Matlab. I’d be happy to help though!

Matlabbing my way through the Italian countryside en route to Trieste for ECRO, full of excitement and spaghetti carbonara 🤤

@KahntLab Each area of POC has distinct and interesting functional connectivity patterns, possibly processing different features of odor information in parallel. They see several networks: odor-object coding, social/emotional, protective, a face/nose/jaw motor network(!), and more!

[Torben Noto @torbenator5]

Ever wonder which brain regions each area of primary olfactory cortex interacts with? My labmates and collaborators at the @KahntLab wrote a great paper about it! https://t.co/BcZfncVWIQ

@actualdrdoctor holy shit this may be the best gif I've ever seen.

@actualdrdoctor What!? Anxiety is evolving!!
