Our new paper is about the most scientifically bewildering state in meditation. If we figure this one out it’s a goldmine for consciousness research, possibly revealing about human hibernation, or useful for space travel. Who knows. Here's the wild story 👇

"Voyage through Time"
is my first artpiece using #stablediffusion and I am blown away with the possibilities...

We're crossing a threshold where generative AI is no longer just about novel aesthetics, but evolving into an amazing tool to build powerful, human-centered narratives

A hierarchy of alienness: Pictures of animals from least to most related to you.

Least-related animal: Sponges. You and sponges are both animals. That's basically all you've got in common.

Quite an amazing write-up on what happens behind the scenes when you visit a web site! https://t.co/ipUbdiHOMS

@BionicCamel Gratulation! 💪

@cppape All the best for your research!

Kiss from the electron microscope. These are thin slices (30 nm) of the mouse brain cortex. Every neuron is painted with one color. Blood vessels, cell bodies, dendrites, myelinated and unmyelinated axons are visible. #HappyNewYear.

I really like the WakingUp app, but this sentence made me a bit worrisome: "Numerous participants developed problems after using Sam Harris’s popular Waking Up app." https://t.co/0HZaQJ8PrC @wakingup #AskSam Any comments on this? What were specific problems?

Hey tweeps let's play the game again where ppl list dream genetic-ish tools for neuroscience. Blue-sky level, plz. Sensors, effectors, tracers, probes, sequencing, viruses, promoters, EM, x-ray, cell atlases, anything! Janelia having brainstorm today & seeking crazy ideas

[Stephan Gerhard @unidesigner]

"Representational drift" (https://t.co/kFEEwYZCpW) may be a nice entry point to find interesting invariance structure in neural dynamics, consistent with experiential stability. Applying Topological Data Analysis could be an interesting avenue (https://t.co/Na2ddPfuZo).

Photorealism Enhanced GTA V - amazing realism, but also a bit scary when thinking about accidents.... https://t.co/Y9SNM3xhsZ

[EMDB - EMPIAR @EBI @EMDB_EMPIAR]

Released today @EMDB_EMPIAR & @PDBeurope, & published @CellCellPress, the awesome 3.9 Å #CryoEM structure of the #Flagellar #Motor-Hook complex, the molecular machine that drives rotation of the #Flagellum for #Bacterial motility by Tan et al. from @ZJU_China

@AbiIsNotABot @napari_imaging Very cool! Does @napri_imaging also allow floodfilling in 3D with these backend-stores?

[Jan Funke @janfunkey]

Automatic prediction of synaptic links in a whole Drosophila brain: Read about @julia_buhmann's method in our preprint, result of a fruit(fly)ful collaboration with the labs of @ddavi, @gsxej, @herrsaalfeld, and @darbly!

@stephenplaza @jnuneziglesias @janeliaflyem @stardazed0 @michalj Including synapses?

Excited to share a new (& possibly contrarian) preprint !

“ An Algorithmic Barrier to Neural Circuit Understanding "
https://t.co/ceODQXUkaq

Suggests that non-existence of tractable circuit-interrogation algorithms could be a roadblock to neural circuit understanding
