- Reposted by Alexis PaezIf you're planning a study, search DANDI or OpenNeuro first to see if relevant data already exists. If you're teaching, incorporate open datasets into your curriculum, writes @bendichter.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/open-neurosc...
- Reposted by Alexis PaezA different way to protest. Researchers presented posters on how their terminated projects would have benefitted society. Many of the scientists presenting were a few years into their projects before their funding was cut — wasting money already spent. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Reposted by Alexis PaezOn Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.
- You know you hang with a certain age group when "Kragle" and "Pass the Parcel with Lucky's Dad's rules" come up in conversation and nobody misses a beat.
- Happy 3/21 to those who celebrate 🤗 #DownsSyndrome
- Is Waze smart enough that we could ask for a button to say, "I'm stuck behind a vehicle going X mph slower than I want to. Based on the route I'm on, what's a route, even if it's longer by distance, that can help me make up time?"

- Nice intro to *wave* toolbox, but can't find Lyle Muller on here yet. #MATLAB #neuroskyence
- Sensory inputs trigger a fast-traveling wave, followed by a slower wave carrying top-down info (value/choice). The late wave reactivates ensembles in superficial cortical layers. Touch-evoked traveling waves establish a translaminar spacetime code www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #neuroscience
- Only a bit delayed to say, welcome! I learned #Psychtoolbox and used it for an auditory psychophysics experiment back in 2008, then caught up to the latest at #VSS2024. Such a key #MATLAB tool for #Neuroskyence
- Hello Bluesky 🏙️! Psychtoolbox is here! Follow us for Psychtoolbox-related news📰, as well as tips and tricks💡! #Psychtoolbox
- This cover captured all my attention while I was reading a #ScienceAdvances paper online today. Beautiful.

- Reposted by Alexis PaezQuestion for people going from intan based ephys to neuropixels. Do you have an alternative for the accelerometer from the intan headstage? That was a nice feature that is missing on freely moving neuropixels recordings 🧠📈
- Some favorite practical summer courses are the ARTCs at the MBL in Woods Hole, MA. I anticipate visiting a few this year to talk #Neuroskyence, sharing #openscience data stories, and using #MATLAB.
- John Tuthill explains why practical summer courses in neuroscience matter and how this tradition helps researchers rekindle the unfettered joy that initially brought them to the field. www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca... #neuroskyence
- Got some new socks this week 💪🏻
- Reposted by Alexis PaezNew paper out! 🚨 📰 With @batuhanerkat.bsky.social, John McClure, @hussainyk1.bsky.social, @polacklab.bsky.social we reveal how discretized representations in V1 predict suboptimal orientation discrimination. 🧪🧠🐭 This work reconciles neuro and psychometric curves www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Self-reflection: I'm particularly bad about changing over the year when I write the date sitting the first couple weeks of January. Consistently.

- The wonders of population coding! Recent paper by @juliencorbo.bsky.social et al. @polacklab.bsky.social -> visual cortex in trained mice encodes orientation differently from in naive mice... almost more "messily"(?)... but behavior is good. #neuroskyence #matlab 🧪 🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

- We all learned the center-surround, rod and cone structure, but this is a lot of detail about glia and blood vessels in the retina and what happens in degeneration. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... #MATLAB #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence
- Reposted by Alexis PaezThe Neural Systems & Behavior course at @mblscience.bsky.social is now open for applications (deadline 1st Feb 2025, tinyurl.com/329nbtzp). Students often describe this 8-week training course as a life-changing and eye-opening scientific experience. Apply and join us in magical Woods Hole 💫🐙🧠🔬

- Reposted by Alexis Paez🚨ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT! Time is running out!⏰ Don’t miss your chance to share your research at #OHBM2025.🗒️ Deadline: 11:59 PM EST, USA on December 17, 2024. NO extensions under ANY circumstances! Late submissions will NOT be considered. 🔗 in comments. #Neuroscience #CallforContent
- This flexible, Utah Array-like device with sensing and drug delivery all in one seems like it will have a lot of applications. What's next? doi.org/10.1126/scia... #neuroscience #neuroskyence #ephys #neurotech #MATLAB I can't find TDT on here yet.
- Just-in-time church gifts. #knitting 🎶 Anyone else remember the TMBG lyric, "We're waiting for our thumbs"? 😅
- Freezing tissue to enable new microscopy results, and ephys to back them up. #MATLAB #Neuroscience
- This new study, led by Shigeki Watanabe and partially conducted in the MBL’s Neurobiology course, challenges a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons and proposes a new model for understanding how information is transmitted in the brain. #science 🧪 🧠
- @cheerlights.bsky.social I've just caught up with what this is all about, and it's added a new element of fun and connectedness to wondering if *that* tree outside at @mathworks.bsky.social was the same color the last time I looked at it. If you're curious like me: Cheerlights.com/MathWorks
- @keeleneuro.bsky.social so happy to find you here! I have started a project that specifically involves getting to know you and your #Neuroscience. What's the best way to have a conversation, and/or with whom?
- 'Tis the season... For festive #knitting projects!
- Today I learned... Siblings of Cub Scouts are called Dragon Scouts 🐉 because they get dragged around to activities 😇
- Milestone day in exercising my 🧠

Neuromatch is looking for a curriculum specialist for our #neuroAI course. Spread the word! acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:... - A searchable list of starter packs!
- Throwing out there that I'll be at SfN and excited to chat! We can talk ephys, signal processing, MATLAB, industry careers, working mom-ness, knitting, snow... I'd like to pre-plan meetings, but can also be found at Booth #1470 (MathWorks).
