🚨 Preprint alert! Bursts of high frequency oscillations (80-150Hz) in the visual cortex - what do they mean? We found a footprint of the oscillation in neural activity consistent across states and species. Congrats Katarina 👏 and huge thanks to all collaborators! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

nationalist governments are gradually strangling exchange of ideas and talent. The UK began this in earnest by financially penalising foreign researchers and students, and by imposing export control on a laundry list of tech research. The result always seems to be meek compliance. This is all done

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

New preprint @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social 🎉 We map the functional organization of retinal input to the 🐭 superior colliculus & capture it in a dynamic "digital twin" that generalizes to unseen stimuli Probe it with your own stimuli via Colab to test hypotheses in silico👇 Amazing team effort 🙌

Vibe coding your way through your PhD is like performing surgery with oven mitts. It looks confident and its a great idea right until precision matters and reviewers ask you to justify the implementation choices ;) If you're in science and program every day, join us ASPP 2026 in Prague aspp.school

It was a genuine pleasure to do this interview with Michael. Over time, working in this field, you develop many thoughts that do not fit neatly into the usual formats of science communication. It was a lot of fun to bring some of them together and try to express them clearly in this conversation.
