Pretty cool stuff. Reminds me of this paper in the retina. Non-monotonic tuning via depo block. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2896…. What I wonder is if this kind of tuning is overlooked w calcium imaging. e.g., it would just look like highly non-linear tuning to extreme sensory parameters

This is so beautiful! Elegant study linking cellular biophysics and behavior. What happens at the synapses of these neurons during depolarization block? How does this mechanism interact with inhibitory circuits?
[1/11] @DavidTadres and I are excited to share new research doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.ade72… where we show that olfactory sensory neurons undergo silencing due to depolarization block at ethologically relevant odor concentrations. #olfaction #chemosensation #behavior

making connections! @NufoTheFlyGuy talks about the outreach he and his lab did with mattheiu louis and david tadres bringing the PiVR system to high school students in chicago!! #cshlfly22

Very happy to be a part of this work. If you are doing functional connectivity experiments in Drosophila, beware of the leaky expression of optogenetic effectors that might lead to false positive signals in the neurons of which activity is recorded.
[1/2] In functional connectomics, beware of potential artifacts due to effector leaks. In recent work with David Stern @TastekinIbrahim @DavidTadres, we document that false-positives can arise from the leaky expression of Chrimson: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

[4/4] As part of the presentation, we hope to hear your feedback. We would like to know how this tool could be made better for your own use. We look forward to connecting with you on Sept 3 3pm UTC youtu.be/uG898FL421U

[3/4] PiVR is highly versatile - it can be used for much more than the creation of virtual odor gradients. For instance, in 30 min PiVR can be adapted to convert the movement of a facsimile animal into a sound landscape by using a piezo (see video, crank up the volume).

[2/4] We will describe how PiVR works, why its high frame rate and short latency are important to create virtual realities, how to get started with it, and what is coming next with the availability of ever more powerful @Raspberry_Pi.

[1/4] Join us this Friday for our presentation of the PiVR closed-loop tracker (pivr.org) @openneurosci. In this talk @davidtadres and I will discuss how PiVR can help break technical barriers in your science.

"Fruit Flies Plug into the Matrix" scientificamerican.com/artic…: @sciam has published an article that describes the use of virtual realties in Drosophila and our PiVR tracker. @DavidTadres & I thank @sophiebushwick and @MaquiCll for decoding our work simply and with a stunning video.

Low-cost #VirtualReality for tiny animals! @DavidTadres & @tamsioul present Raspberry Pi VR (PiVR), designed to enable academic labs & #CitSci projects to explore the neural circuitry of behavior by immersing freely-moving animals in VR #PLOSBiology plos.io/2DKv2cP

Great work by @DavidTadres and @tamsioul ! We have this tracker in the lab and works great :)
[5/] Congrats again to the vision of my grad student @DavidTadres, who led this project because he wanted run screens with many closed-trackers presented here elifesciences.org/articles/0…. To make this possible, David found a way to reduce the production costs of each tracker by >100!

Really cool work! Love to see clean engineering projects with a purpose. Amazing way to lower the cost barrier (100x) for fly behavioral studies.
[1/5] If you're looking for an affordable technology to create virtual sensory realities with optogenetics, check out PiVR journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…, a wonderful tool developed by @DavidTadres. It is out @PLOSBiology.

PiVR from my PhD Lab is out! I remember the first prototype! Congrats to amazing @DavidTadres and @tamsioul! Wanna run large activation/inactivation screens or complex closed-loop experiments with Drosophila adult and larvae? Try PiVR. Costs nothing and has great documentation!
