Visited congressional offices to ask for more federal support of scientific research #SeeWhatMatters thanks to @NAEVRAdvocacy

New paper in @pnas led by @vickey17singh! We present an innovative head-mounted eye-tracking system to study vision in freely-moving NHPs. Results counter key assumptions in the field and opens the door to study the NHP visual brain in the real-world. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to announce Dr. Farran Briggs will join @NatEyeInstitute as Senior Investigator in the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research. Most recently at @UofR, Briggs brings an impressive record of #optogenetics & functional ultrasound research, charismatic training & mentoring.

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Thrilled to be awarded the @NIHDirector new innovator award (DP2). I'm so excited for all the cool things we'll be working on. As always, thanks to mentors, @RutgersU and my home @RutgersCABM for all the support. With this, we're hiring! Reach out for postdocs if you're curious

📅 Save-the-date: 22. Oct! We are excited to welcome Prof. Dr. Parker @CosmouseVision as our next MPLS speaker. Hosted by @BerkutayMert, the talk will give insights into the neural basis of natural visual 👁️ behaviors in psychiatric conditions🧠 This event is open to everyone!

Rutgers Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience is hiring a tenure track assistant professor. This is an incredibly supportive department for new faculty, and Rutgers has a large neuroscience network. Please apply! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/235697

The Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience Area in Rutgers Psychology is now hiring a tenure track assistant professor. Rutgers has a great Neuroscience community and is a fantastic place to work! Please share! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/235697

The Rutgers Department of Psychology will be hiring for the Behavioral and Systems neuroscience area at the assistant professor level this year. The job ad should be posted any day now, but in the meantime, add it to your list and please consider applying.

My department at Rutgers is searching for a new TT Assistant Professor! Focus is on age-related neurodegenerative disorders, but I would encourage any systems/circuit/synaptic/molecular neuro people to apply (no K99 required 😅) jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/235328

We are hiring! A lab technician position is available immediately in the Roy lab. Come, work with us. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/165272

Looking forward to running the next @BonVision_ live coding session!

How monkeys 'really' see the world! Wireless eye-tracking in marmosets. Incredible game changing work by @vickey17singh showing the dynamics of active vision in a free-moving primate @JingwenLi18 @judefmitchell biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks #TheBRAINInitiative for funding!

Excited to share our review on natural visual behavior and active sensing by @SkybergRolf at Current Opinion in Neurobiology. There are a lot of important visual computations that get engaged once an animal is actively interacting with the environment! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are hiring! A 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗰 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is available in the medicine.utah.edu/ophthalmology/… @MoranEyeCenter to lead studies on retinal circuits and diseases. Apply here: utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/163086 or reach out to meet in-person at #ARVO2024.

We love natural behavior! Our new review highlights recent work from @cris_niell, @bbo_lab & others. Is natural behavioral all we need to understand brains? We say no & hypothesize why training critters can be hard. Pls post your training thoughts below. #bib18" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢RuCCS is hiring! We have potentially 3 (!!) teacher-scholar openings in all areas of Cognitive Science. Amazing students, mentorship, cohort support, career development pathways guaranteed. Please RT! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/223636

Rutgers postdocs - Join us on March 28 from 3-5pm to hear from your peers about their research and learn how to launch your lab as a new PI! Biomedical PostDoc Professional Development and Presentation Days (PD3) @RutgersOPA @RutgersPDA Register here rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_er…

Kilosort4 is now fully released in #python and we have a new logo! github.com/MouseLand/Kilo… w/ Shashwat Sridhar, Jacob Pennington and @computingnature. #kilosort

In a new study led by Emily Hsiang and @NingShenStella , we uncover parallel pathways for spatial and temporal information of naturalistic stimuli, respectively, in the early visual system. rdcu.be/dz5g7
