- This is interesting. It seems noninvasive laminar imaging is definitely moving forward.
- New Layer-fMRI paper. Heij et al. use line-scanning in V1 and find that the laminar fMRI response is different based on the context of the stimulus. doi.org/10.1016/j.is...
- This is such a wonderful tool!
- Our paper on NHP neuropixels is finally out in Nat Neuro! These probes have already been transformative and will usher in a new era of primate neuroscience. I am extremely proud to have played a very small role in this project. I can't wait to see what our community discovers. tinyurl.com/54u3hrj8
- Reposted by Lauri NurminenLaminar MEG is possible across all cortical depths. Our comprehensive simulations outline SNR, head movement, and micro/macro anatomical limitations to source reconstruction precision. Not perfect by any chance, lots of confirmatory work ahead, but it's promising. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Lauri Nurminen🚀 We are excited to share that bombcell is now available in Python! 🐍 Automatically sort your units into good/MUA/noise/non-somatic using quality metrics and interpretable & adjustable classification thresholds. pip install and play around with our toy dataset: 🔗 github.com/Julie-Fabre/...
- This is wonderful news!
- Here is the collective effort of 12 labs, lead by my own at the Broad to target the range of cortical interneuron subtypes! These tools should be a game changer for all of you using NHP and other less genetically amenable species! Have at it! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...
- Reposted by Lauri NurminenBecause we must build good things while we scream about the bad, I have started a "Data for Good" team @data-for-good-team.bsky.social that partners with organizations needing short-term data science help. We have three projects ongoing & will add more as our capacity grows. data-for-good-team.org
- Reposted by Lauri NurminenUniversities were invented 1000 years ago as an island of liberty in a society that was (literally) medieval. For instance, students were protected against reprisal. The US is going medieval, and it's time for universities to regain their role .
- Reposted by Lauri NurminenThe dynamic version is even more disturbing...
- Reposted by Lauri NurminenThis is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

- Probably the best news this week.
