Let's recap:

Everything* is everywhere**

* Except language, motor, memory, facial recognition, spatial perception, ...

** Except white matter, human brains, or anything else that is not a mouse brain

How do you deal with the confound of white matter damage when interpreting natural experiments?

A happy recording day, listening to spiking activities from two visual areas with distinct preferences (body and face).

🔵 Proud to share our new preprint 🔵

We compared humans and deep neural networks on sound localization 👂📍

Humans robustly localized OOD sounds even without primary interaural cues (ITD & ILD)

Models localized well only in-training distribution sounds, failing on OOD regime

Link & full story 🧵👇

What shapes the topography of high-level visual cortex?

Excited to share a new pre-print addressing this question with connectivity-constrained interactive topographic networks, titled "Retinotopic scaffolding of high-level vision", w/ Marlene Behrmann & David Plaut.

Getting back from @vssmtg.bsky.social with unforgettable and fruitful memories - now taking train to Beijing from HongKong, way more relaxing for someone who hates flying like me

Kilosort4 detects a LOT of neurons, I recorded 15k neurons in one year 🤯 Traditionally, one would curate these detected units to see if they are well isolated single neurons. This is not feasible anymore, so today let's look at three options that are out there to automate this process! 🤖👇

Hi Alex, thank you for your interest! the manuscript will be submitted in these days. If we get stuck in the review process (which can be unpredictable), we’ll share the data before formal publication. But at this time I can’t promise a specific timeline

(6/6) We believe the triple-N dataset serves as both a valuable resource for visual neuroscience and a detailed complement to the NSD fMRI dataset. We are currently finalizing the data organization and description - please stay tuned for the release😁😁😁

(4/6) Combined with NSD's fMRI data, this enables new studies of both homology AND differences in high-level visual cortex between macaques and humans.

(3/6) We identified three distinct unit types with unique temporal profiles - tightly linked to image preference and spatial organization patterns.

(2/6) Using fMRI-guided Neuropixels recordings, we targeted category-selective regions (face/body/object/scene/color), collecting >20k units across 59 sessions while macaques viewed NSD shared1000 stimuli. This provides rich single-trial population responses

(1/6) Thrilled to share our triple-N dataset (Non-human Primate Neural Responses to Natural Scenes)! It captures thousands of high-level visual neuron responses in macaques to natural scenes using #Neuropixels.

bought a ‘steady’ pin and tried the most nerve-wracking things I've ever done: inserting a 44mm Neuropixels probe into a guide tube
