Very happy to see this paper come out from Lucas Martins @d-lucas.bsky.social and Alexandre Laborde. They developed an awesome framework, built with .NET, for developing software to run demanding high-speed behavior and functional imaging experiments. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Engineer-becoming-neuroscientist, tinkerer at heart 🧠⚙️🧪🔬🐟 PhD Candidate @ Vision to Action lab, Champalimaud Foundation, Portugal. Currently studying sensorimotor integration in zebrafish. he/him
Excited to share my PhD paper is out! We studied how motion vision is processed beyond the optic lobes to help flies walk straight. It has been a wonderful collaboration with @michaelreiser.bsky.social, @dddavi.bsky.social and many others not in bluesky! Paper + digest here: bsky.app/profile/cham...
🪰How does a fruit fly walk or fly in a perfectly straight line — even at high speed? It’s not just sharp vision. A sophisticated neural computation is at work. 🧠New study led by @champalimaudf.bsky.social Eugenia Chiappe. 📖 www.fchampalimaud.org/news/researc... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world th...
