When we calculated decoding accuracy of populations of neurons sampled from different trials (or “pseudo-populations”, commonly used in neurophysiology) and tested them with neurons recorded simultaneously, only a subtle performance decrease was evident (12/10)

However, we also show that such off-states are relative decreases in firing rate rather than absolute “gaps” in spiking. Activity across the network continued to maintain information about the stimulus being remembered even during off states (11/10)

In this article we document “The Asynchronous State” of Working Memory. In single trials, individual neurons may not exhibit persistent activity, however populations of ~100 neurons are sufficient to generate activity elevated above the baseline for the entire delay period (8/10)

Study section would have wrapped up this week. No idea when it will restart after the government shutdown.

I have a theory of why Trump wants to buy Greenland. It's the accursed Mercator projection! In most maps Greenland appears much larger than the US and the same size as the entire continent of Africa. In reality, it is about the size of Algeria. I predict Trump would lose interest if he found out.

It's been three weeks since I moved to BlueSky as my go-to social network and it's been a relief to be able to check research news without having Elon's hot take of the day shoved to the top of my feed. At the same time, I've decided not to deactivate my Twitter/X account but continue using it.
