@martinmbauer Subjects rate their confidence with a two-alternative forced choice. The statistical significance is higher for high confidence ratings. Hence reducing the number of required for those trial types. 2/2

@martinmbauer @martinmbauer Thanks for resurfacing this old work of our. To clarify: most of the time no photon-pair is produced, but some times exactly 1 pair is produced; one is used as a trigger, the second as a deterministic single photon source that does not exists classically 1/2

This experiment showed 10 years ago that the human eye can detect single photons. But how? A laser was aimed at a non-linear crystal that produced a pair of correlated photons via down-conversion. 🧵 1/3

Presenting our new 2 gram three-photon head-mounted microscope with a z-drive to image all cortical layers in the freely moving mouse. This microscope can be used in a fully lit environment, in the dark or in between, depending on your thing. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@SinaiBrain @KanakaRajanPhD @IcahnMountSinai @GradSchoolSinai @NIH @AllenInstitute @NIHFunding @McKnightFdn @BBRFoundation @NSF @SloanFoundation @stellatecomms @PaulJK27 Congratulations Kanaka!

👏CONGRATS @KanakaRajanPhD on her promotion to Assoc Prof w/ Tenure, Investigator Track! Dr Rajan has developed an innovative program @IcahnMountSinai that has generated both powerful tools for scientific community & transformative insights into brain functions. So well-deserved!

@BlakeMadruga @OpticaWorldwide Thanks Blake!

@VaziriLab @OpticaWorldwide Congratulations Alipasha! Very well deserved.

I am honored and humbled to be elected Optical Fellow @OpticaWorldwide in 2023 along with a number of other friends and colleagues. Congratulations optica.org/en-us/about/ne…

@BowenTan5 @EricJNestler @tbinoe @JDCalebBrowne Many congratulations @JDCalebBrowne! Sorry I could not find your twitter handle.

@VaziriLab @EricJNestler @tbinoe @JDCalebBrowne can’t leave you out Caleb! I would never forget the moment you told me Ava was born while you were still working on the manuscript.

Excited to share our joint manuscript with the Friedman Lab and @EricJNestler showing Nucleus accumbens neurons function as a common pathway for natural rewards in response to both, thirst and hunger. Many congratulation to @BowenTan5 and @tbinoe bit.ly/3MN4V4p
