The last year saw lots of changes for all of us, but we managed to push through with this paper about the relationship between saccadic eye movement, neutral oscillatory resets, and working memory!
Eye saccades trigger hippocampal theta phase reset (see @eabuffalo ‘s work). In this study we found that humans increase their saccade rate when working memory load increases. https://t.co/h97DIadSeS
Happy to see it out in Learning&Memory

Neocortical layer 1—the memory layer? Accumulating evidence in rodents suggests that the outermost layer of the brain might be a key site for long-term plasticity and learning.

Our research team will demonstrate the future use of a visual brain prosthesis for blind people at NEMO (a popular science museum) until the end of October. Very proud of Xing Chen and the other team members for preparing this!

Reconstructing the 3D world from 2D video requires monocular depth estimation and video panoptic segmentation, but they are typically considered separately. Today we present ViP-DeepLab, which does both at once while achieving state-of-the-art performance→https://t.co/QSZsdiVdB1
Performance calculated by @LowyInstitute https://t.co/ps3z97kXOG which was also used to compare countries across other metrics (authoritarian/democratic), land border based on @Wikipedia https://t.co/PwLUmZk2At
Are (impermeable) borders key to national covid management?
I've been convinced it is, it makes sense, but I didn't have data for it till now; here's a semi-answer (higher performance=better management).
Maybe this why so often I can only remember a word when I've given up trying to recall it. Do the similar words I dredge up act as "interfering stimuli" instead of bringing me closer?

As a kid I couldn't wait to be done with school, yet here I am, finally at the end of one of the longest voluntary educational pathways possible. Immeasurable thanks to @SPECS_lab and @PaulVerschure for everything.
Interpret this. Also, it may be stats from the U.S. but racial relations is a tight-rope all countries need to walk and now's as good a time as any to reflect on it. Credits: @nature
@RachelVitae1 A3 - setting little "confinement goals" separate from work, like finishing a puzzle or learning to juggle by the end of these weeks. #VitaeChat
Refusing to delete a half-untruth because it went viral and is a "personal record", after being called out by @NatGeo, is being part of the problem you're talking about.
