Had a lovely time presenting at the EU vision and Cognition meeting, in the beautiful palazzo Cortona. Thanks to the organisers for inviting me, and for all attendees to make this such an inspiring and fun meeting! And no rest for the wicked, so see you in Barcelona for #FENS?

Good morning #SfN. Want to chat about chronic Neuropixels or tracking? Find me today at the #Neuropixels booth (3731) from 11 to 12! And if you're still around tomorrow afternoon, come talk about distributed coding in navigation at my poster tomorrow afternoon (RR16).

All talks of the 2025 UCL #Neuropixels course are now available: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... For more information on the course see the website: www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels/... And for those at #SfN, come say hi at the #Neuropixels booth (Number 3731) or at my Poster 👋. Happy Neuropixeling!

Glad to see my PhD work out! Thanks to all my collaborators and to Kenneth and Matteo for making this possible!

A new study led by @timothysit.bsky.social reveals that different layers of mouse V1 integrate visual and non-visual signals differently. Activity is dominated by vision (or spontaneous fluctuations) in L2/3 and by movement in L5. This leads to different geometries. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you're at #cosyne2025 drop by our poster [2-011] on 'Tracking neurons in chronic ephys recordings with Deep Neural Networks', March 28th, 1.15pm at Square Dorchester! A collaborative effort of presenter Wentao Qiu, Suyash Agarwal, Kenneth Harris, supervised by Célian Bimbard and myself.

Het lijkt er toch steeds meer op dat Eppo Bruins de meest incompetente en opportunistische minister van OCW is die Nederland in mensenheugenis heeft gehad. Eerst een sector helemaal in crisis storten, en dan, terwijl er een miljard bezuinigd wordt, >

I think the best part of working in an international environment are the yearly discussions on Pancake day. "Who invented the pancake?" And "should it be waffle day instead, like in part of the Netherlands" cause some serious debates!
