NIH study sections are being canceled or postponed at the last minute, wasting countless hours of scientists' time and delaying critical research funding. This instability threatens scientific progress and patient care. @NIH needs to fix this - fast. #NIHStudySection @theNCI @nih_nhlbi @NIHFunding @NIHDirector

👀 How does the brain process visual information? New research by @BoninLab and colleagues (@__NERF) suggests it's more complicated than we thought. ➡️ Read more: vibbio.tech/4gfeQO7 The video 👇 shows how visual information is transmitted in the brain.

How do brains “infer” the world’s state from noisy sensory data—and do so “dynamically?” Our new theoretical framework bridges these two perspectives in a brain-inspired model👉🧵[1/n] w/ amazing co-lead @dekelgalor & polymath mentor @jcbyts 📜preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2410.19315

Are you keen on brains, neural circuits, electrophys, modeling, behavior, & fancy tools? Post-doc position @NIH. Come collaborate w/ us & Dan Butts (UMD) @NeuralCodeUMD. Fully funded, collaborative, international team. Pls inquire, pls RT training.nih.gov/jobs/pdf-sn-04…

Why is the visual cortex organized hierarchically? Because it has to infer the underlying composition of a multi-scale world. New preprint with @jcbyts and @NeuralCodeUMD (accepted to #NeurIPS2023) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
