NSF has decided to ban collaborations between every U.S. scientist it funds and nearly all Chinese research institutions and their employees. The new policy abandons NSF’s earlier attempt to balance the potential risks and benefits of such collaborations. https://scim.ag/4bw5Of5
New NSF policy would ban almost all collaborations with Chinese scientists

Anyone in Montreal wanna talk about Neuroscience and organoids and iPSCs and ALS? Or just show me around this great looking city?
I'll be there. First time! Ready to talk #MATLAB and more (especially #ephys) at Booth 143. #neuroskyence 🧪🧠

If you're planning a study, search DANDI or OpenNeuro first to see if relevant data already exists. If you're teaching, incorporate open datasets into your curriculum, writes @bendichter.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/open-neurosc...
Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate the pace of science, reduce costs and increase the value of our collective research investments.

A different way to protest. Researchers presented posters on how their terminated projects would have benefitted society. Many of the scientists presenting were a few years into their projects before their funding was cut — wasting money already spent. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Symbolic ‘science fair’ showcases research cut by Trump team
Democrats hosted a protest event featuring ‘things we’ll never know’ because of the US government’s cuts to science.

On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

You know you hang with a certain age group when "Kragle" and "Pass the Parcel with Lucky's Dad's rules" come up in conversation and nobody misses a beat.
Is Waze smart enough that we could ask for a button to say, "I'm stuck behind a vehicle going X mph slower than I want to. Based on the route I'm on, what's a route, even if it's longer by distance, that can help me make up time?"

Nice intro to *wave* toolbox, but can't find Lyle Muller on here yet. #MATLAB #neuroskyence
Earl K. Miller@earlkmiller.bsky.social · 2y agoSensory inputs trigger a fast-traveling wave, followed by a slower wave carrying top-down info (value/choice). The late wave reactivates ensembles in superficial cortical layers. Touch-evoked traveling waves establish a translaminar spacetime code www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #neuroscience
Only a bit delayed to say, welcome! I learned #Psychtoolbox and used it for an auditory psychophysics experiment back in 2008, then caught up to the latest at #VSS2024. Such a key #MATLAB tool for #Neuroskyence

Hi, Vox reporter here: If you've had a study section, NIH travel, or other NIH-related meeting cancelled (or not), raise your hand! Reply or DM me, and repost for visibility if you're able. #academicsky @drugmonkey.bsky.social
Question for people going from intan based ephys to neuropixels. Do you have an alternative for the accelerometer from the intan headstage? That was a nice feature that is missing on freely moving neuropixels recordings 🧠📈
Some favorite practical summer courses are the ARTCs at the MBL in Woods Hole, MA. I anticipate visiting a few this year to talk #Neuroskyence, sharing #openscience data stories, and using #MATLAB.

New paper out! 🚨 📰 With @batuhanerkat.bsky.social, John McClure, @hussainyk1.bsky.social, @polacklab.bsky.social we reveal how discretized representations in V1 predict suboptimal orientation discrimination. 🧪🧠🐭 This work reconciles neuro and psychometric curves www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The wonders of population coding! Recent paper by @juliencorbo.bsky.social et al. @polacklab.bsky.social -> visual cortex in trained mice encodes orientation differently from in naive mice... almost more "messily"(?)... but behavior is good. #neuroskyence #matlab 🧪 🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s414...
