Airport luggage handling challenge: passed. Put a #Neuropixels probe on a R2drive in a R2 metal case. Casually drop it in your check-in luggage. Have luggage be handled randomly in Amsterdam and Barcelona. Retrieve R2 metal case and bring the Neuropixels probe safely to #FENS2026 ✅

📢 #FENS2026 giveaway! We're distributing 8 R2 system starter kits - including one with our new metal holder- for FENS attendees! Apply here: forms.gle/QFnUVZthhcfR...

Knowledge too dangerous to share. #r2system

Still at SfN on the last day? During the morning session on the 19th, 8:00AM - 12:00PM, come check out our posters from the Moser, Zong, and Gonzalo Cogno groups in row QQ ('Grid cells and spatially modulated cells'). Ephys, imaging, remapping, development, sweeps and more! 🧠 Detailed thread below 👇

Reposting this from #SfN25 in San Diego, where this collaboration takes off in fashion! 📣 🥳

📣 R2drive now comes with a serial number. This enables individual, traceable, quality control.

Well, a sliver of fun on an otherwise rough situation.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

A statistical error known as pseudoreplication appears in more than half of recent mouse studies on neurological disorders, according to a new study. Peter Kind and Constantino Elfetheriou tell Lauren Schenkman why researchers should pay attention. www.thetransmitter.org/pseudoreplic...

Sounding the alarm on pseudoreplication: Q&A with Constantinos Eleftheriou and Peter Kind

Most studies of neurological disorders in mice erroneously treat multiple samples from a single animal as independent replicates, according to a new analysis. But scientists and journals can take…

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

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! 🤖👇

Just found out @DeepLabCut was downloaded 832K times! Wild.

After scrolling through 20 posts about NIH funding, this brought some much needed relief 😅

The DREAM implant is a novel design for chronic electrophysiology in mice that is lightweight, adaptable, and cost-effective. @ZeroNoiseLab @3DNeuro @DondersInstitute Read about it in this week's post on OpenBehavior: edspace.american.edu/openbehavior...

I hate the direction lab equipment design has gone in recent years. I don't want touchscreens, I don't want wifi integration, I don't want centrifuges demanding to know what time zone they're in. I just want reliable instruments - with physical buttons - that do the one task they were made for.

We're closing the R2np preorder campaign!! Based on the response, this holder for Neuropixels 2.0 probes with dovetail will become a product in 2025 as a special version of the R2Drive! #opensource #openhardware

Where do we stand on fMRI in awake mice?

Abstract. Imaging awake animals is quickly gaining traction in neuroscience as it offers a means to eliminate the confounding effects of anesthesia, diffic

Hi! We are 3Dneuro - a small band of neuroscientists who hunted spikes in behaving animals for years before saying: This has to be easier! We design electrode drives, implant systems and behaviour setups that are robust, easy to use, and open-source. Or: Ephys for everyone! Check us out: 3dneuro.com

How to rebuild your network on @bsky.app and improve your experience here? I made a short starter guide with resources. www.neuronaldynamics.eu/resources/bl... Also, a thread 🧵 below.

New to Bluesky, we were supposed to first write an introduction post. Enjoying unfiltered content instead.

Gen Z is amazing. I asked a (paid) intern to bring me 50 blank pieces of copier paper and when she brought them in they were warm. Turns out that, rather than count them, she set the copier to 50 and printed blank sheets. Genius.
