Triple-N is fantastic—a dataset that was collected with a lot of thought and care. Neuropixel recordings in 5 monkeys viewing 1000 NSD images! Some friends and I did a short write up on large-scale community data resources like this, check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our Triple-N dataset is released and published in Nature Neuroscience! Hope you enjoy it and please DM me if you need any help when using it! Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Docs: liyipeng-moon.github.io/Triple-N-Docs/ Data: www.scidb.cn/en/detail?da...

Many of the scientific questions we're interested in tackling require studying learning over long periods of time across the brain. This is challenging – which is why we're excited to say we've been developing a system for chronic wireless recording using long Neuropixels probes in macaque monkeys.

Our newest design of minimized, manual insertion system for Deep Neuropixels recording. The whole setup costs just 1600 RMB (less than 250 USD), and drift stability on a par with hydraulic micro-manipulator.

Finally, today is the day: Josefine Zerbe will present and release our new multi-echo 7T fMRI dataset LAION-fMRI during #VSS2026, with >30 fMRI session per subject and unprecedented stimulus diversity. Come to Talk Room 1 (Scene perception) today at 5:15. Details will follow in a separate thread!

Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.” I am absolutely gutted by this denial.

Neuromatch@neuromatch.bsky.social · 3mo ago

We have difficult news to share. Neuromatch's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license renewal, which has allowed us to include participants residing in Iran since 2020, has been denied by the United States Government.

Just uploaded some of my *hand-crafted* comp-neuro teaching materials, thought they might be useful to someone out there. It's just some exercise notebooks for data analysis github.com/morales-greg...

Back in my hometown village for the New Year, sending warm wishes to all my friends far and wide! 🧧🌙

Just did the final electrode cleaning of the Snake year and started my vacation — see you in the Year of the Horse! 🐍⚡️🐴

Hearing this news just as we were ready to scale up data collection. Really mixed feelings.

2025 was the year we ramped up chronic Neuropixels experiments (even wrote a paper on unit tracking), and it gave me a lot of hope for the future. But I just learned that Neuropixels won’t be sold to China anymore. If you have easy access to this technology, please don’t take it for granted.

We may have been a bit later to this, but we’re now successfully running two probes at the same time!

Welcome to BaoLab posters at #SFN2025, covering object color knowledge, how word learning shapes macaque IT, the internal functional structure of face areas, and how IT represents movies!

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

Ben Hayden@benhayden.bsky.social · 11mo ago

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

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0 🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

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 🧵👇

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! 🤖👇
