New preprint on temporal coding in noisy olfactory environments! By stimulating moths with plume-like pheromone and plant volatiles stimuli, we show that the pheromone detection system faces multiple forms of background interference — not just a uniform masking effect as we initially expected.

ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/111... In a short commentary on resistive memories, we highlight that their intrinsic variability can be exploited for Bayesian compute-in-memory for low-energy, uncertainty-aware inference, and that hybrid synapses and 3D integration drive scalable edge learning

• ● ⬤ The 2nd chapter of my PhD is out! 🕷️🍃 Using a combination of computational fluid dynamics, behavior and intracellular recordings in crickets, we compared the perception of the aerodynamical and visual cues produced by approaching predators !

How do animals recognise incoming stimuli as predators? In this paper from the Casas' lab, they tested aerodynamical looming, and they show that size and velocity of the incoming object activated wind-sensitive neurons in 🦗. These responses are similar to visual looming! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this study on the sensory ecology of this fascinating moth during a research internship! Thanks to my supervisors and congratulations to the team, glad to see it published.

Ever wanted to know how the visual system of a long distance migratory moth looks like? Then you'll find your answers in our new paper. Finally out, after about a decade of collecting data by a group af amazing co-authors. Find it here, open access: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
