Get your submission in! robustforaging.github.io Nov. 1 is the deadline. Please share widely. @garymarcus.bsky.social @dcower.bsky.social @tyrellturing.bsky.social @rowantmc.bsky.social
- Can your AI beat a mouse? Mice still outperform our best computing machines in some ways. One way is robust visual processing. 10 years ago I decided to work on HARD behavior driven by COMPLEX visual processing. And that risk is paying off now. #neuroAI 1/n

- Reposted by Drew B HeadleyIn neuroscience, we often try to understand systems by analyzing their representations — using tools like regression or RSA. But are these analyses biased towards discovering a subset of what a system represents? If you're interested in this question, check out our new commentary! Thread:

- Reposted by Drew B Headley"people use it very differently".. this applies to so many concepts in neuroscience! We (@irinapochinok.bsky.social and Simon Musall) put together a #BernsteinConference Workshop on exactly this and @juangallego.bsky.social will be one of our speakers! @bernsteinneuro.bsky.social shorturl.at/4kV00
- 🚨New paper🚨 Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently. Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

- Reposted by Drew B HeadleyVery excited about this work and very proud of @xiongbowu.bsky.social who did it all: Based on 4 independent data sets (incl. EEG/iEEG, eye tracking, gaze manipulation & memory), we advocate for a new perspective on the function of the brain's dominant rhythm 🧠 Check Xiongbo's thread for more 👇

- Reposted by Drew B HeadleyHow do animals decide if they should forage for food or stay home to take care of newborn offspring? Whose needs come first? For my PhD work now out in Nature, we examined how hunger and parenting neurons interact and are reshaped postpartum in mice 🧵⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Drew B HeadleyCheck out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW
