🧠Big news: @CaixaResearch 2025 Health Call has funded a project to decode how the brain processes other emotions & guides prosocial decisions.
Led by @CrisMarquezVega, DYNABrain leader, and supported by cutting-edge neuroscience tools.
👏To the team for this important step!
1/ 💭🤔 The brain mechanisms that allow us to understand and respond to others’ emotions are still largely unknown.
With a #HealthResearch grant, @CrisMarquezVega will use advanced techniques to study them and expand our understanding of decision-making. 👇

🔬 From Keypoints to Behavior – A Successful Workshop! 🧠🐭
Last week, @brain_dyna & @nencki OpenLab hosted “From Keypoints to Behavior: Pose Estimation and Behavior Analysis” at CNC-UC, Portugal 🇵🇹 , part of the #idpIN doctoral program.
Over 4 days, participants learned how to turn raw video data into meaningful behavioral insights using #DeepLabCut & #KeypointMoSeq 🧩
13 young researchers from institutions across 🇵🇹🇵🇱🇫🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇱🇨🇭🇩🇪🇪🇸 for hands-on sessions, many using their own experimental videos!
Proud to support the hybrid “Biotech Transfer Step-by-Step” course💡(30 Sept–3 Oct), organized by Catarina Cunha at @cnc_uc , promoting skills in biotechnology innovation and tech transfer. #Biotech#Innovation@UnivdeCoimbra
