This new paper spearheaded by Matt Self shows the link between border-ownership tuning in area V4 of the visual cortex and figure-ground signals in area V1, by an analysis of the pattern of noise correlations between neurons in these two cortical areas. nature.com/articles/s4146…

👇🎉 Delighted to finally share this👇 nature.com/articles/s4159… "Contextual guidance": what if we started thinking of astrocytes as contextual gates whose core function is to shape neural circuitry in a state-dependent and adaptive fashion?

I won an ERC starting grant! The project will investigate the neural mechanisms of attentive vision, using multi-photon imaging in macaque monkeys, and in particular the encoding of mental models in PFC & the effects on perception in V4. See for more info: neuroscience.vision

The Yao lab (2 months old now!) is recruiting at all levels! We study auditory decision-making and links between sensory deficits with cognitive dysfunction. I’ll be presenting at @apanhearing Friday and #SfN22 on Saturday (Poster 051.25 M3) 1-5pm. Come swing by and say hi!

How does the brain keep track of objects in the world when environments change or we move our eyes? Come see our presentation #SfN2022 to learn about our new data on persistent object signals in primate visual cortex (513.05, Tue Nov 15, 2:00 PM, SDCC 5)!

Excited to continue my scientific journey at the Washington University in St. Louis! @WUSTLneurosci Opening this September, our lab will study how brain circuits organize incoming sensory information into meaningful collections of objects and background. sites.wustl.edu/frankenlab/

@RobertsNeuro @WUSTLneurosci Thanks for the kind words and for your generous advice/wisdom over the last ~12 years! I'm sure we can figure out a way to collaborate again 🙂

Consider joining our last-day-of-SFN Symposium at @SfNtweets on Novelty! Mitsuko Watabe-Uchida, Peter Dayan, Larry Abbott, and I will discuss novelty detection, seeking, & avoidance. I know these days many people are deciding whether to go! Come join us! #11/16/2022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sfn.org/meetings/neuro…
