You're welcome! :) Feel free to take a look at this review

A bit old, but still accurate and very useful.

Great point Horst! Turns out that event cameras are very good for estimating motion and optic flow. However, the problem is not trivial (and much more interesting) if you add noise and activity from neurons..how do you disentangle events coming from each source? We are working on it!

Special thanks to @braininspired.bsky.social for mentioning event cameras in a podcast a few years ago, when they were still off my radar!

And many many thanks to all the people involved in the project!

For decades, imaging has forced the same trade-off:
Set a frame rate β†’ sacrifice resolution or field of view to go fast.

We break that rule

Using an EVENT-BASED CAMERA, we record neural activity without frames. Signals are captured only where and when they occur:

Ultrafast Frame-Free Imaging of Neural Activity with Event Cameras
Frame-based fluorescence imaging has long defined how neural activity is optically measured. This approach requires acquiring all pixels within an image, regardless of whether they carry meaningful ne...

Our study is out in Nature!
Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models.
