Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike. Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

New paper led by the great @OnoratoIrene! We show how the activity of distinct inhibitory interneurons is precisely coordinated in time with network activity "Distinct roles of PV and Sst interneurons in visually-induced gamma oscillations" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵1/n

Modeling motor control typically requires stitching together multiple neural and biomechanical modeling frameworks. So, we created MotorNet — a toolbox to study neural architectures/learning, muscle dynamics, delays, noise, and tasks, all under one roof! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I'm excited to announce our preprint for the Neuropixels 1.0-NHP probe. This represents a large-scale collaborative effort to develop high-density electrodes for neural recording in large animal models like nonhuman primates. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our new preprint w. Giorgos Spyropoulos, @Mars_Schneider, Thiele Lab. We contrast — in 🐭& 🐵 — the physiological relevance and mechanisms underlying two effects of attention: 1. enhanced inter-areal coherence & 2. firing rates🧵👇1/15 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🚨Updated pre-print!🚨 New Tweetprint for an awesome project I've been working on with @spornslab, @dann_benjamin, @SSchaffelhofer, and @HansScherberger. How does information theory give us insights linking neural "computation" and behavior? [1/n] biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The update of our heavily revised preprint is now online! In this work, we used information theory to study behavioral changes in information processing within and between brain areas of the primate fronto-parietal grasping network. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
🚨New preprint!🚨 This was one of the few things that kept me (somewhat) grounded during the worst months of the pandemic winter. An excellent collaboration between myself, @spornslab, @dann_benjamin and @HansScherberger. Details below 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
