If you're interested in doing a 2 year Schmidt "AI in science" postdoc fellowship in neuroscience/AI stuff with me starting in July or Oct 2027 take a look at this and get in touch soon. We've had a lot of luck recently getting these fellowships.

Hiring: Neuroscience roles at the International Brain Laboratory. We’re looking for:
Neuroscience Community Engineer
Neuroscience Research Software Engineer / Data Scientist
All applications must be submitted by May 8th.
Flexible US/Europe locations.

Come learn some programming with a healthy helping of critical thinking; something no genAI can take away from you :)
Also Prague is great fun ;)
I was lucky to be part of ASPP, Bordeaux in 2021. I learned so much, but more importantly it gave me the confidence and skills to keep going afterwards. It really shaped the path I took, including getting involved in MNE-Python. It’s a great opportunity, the people running ASPP are just the best.
the median number of authors on a research paper who are familiar with the underlying code: 1
it generally feels like that number will decrease even further, honestly a quite scary development. 😕⬇️
ASPP teaches concepts & best practices for scientific python, which remain relevant even with AI taking over the heavy lifting of writing the code.
Where the code is coming from (human brain vs. GenAI) is quite secondary to a well-organized workflow incl. testing, debugging, distribution etc.
Sadly, applications to the Advanced Python summer school have dropped significantly over the past 2 years.
Plus, there'll be no external funding for the 1st time in *17 years*.
Likely all because of GenAI - but programming skills still matter🔥

I am unsure if anyone sees or reads this at all, but if you do: I am curios to hear about more resources, all train nerdery is welcome with me, always! 🚄❤️🌍
Sharing these papers again too!

Try to get it reimbursed with your travel expenses, worked for me once at my university.
Plan international rail trips... with pretty affordable passes that most unis reimburse without any issues in the past 🚄

💥New paper out! Why do some people generalise threat more than others? We show that anxious people generalise more strongly, even after accounting for perceptual mistakes.
A huge (!) thanks to @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social and @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social
Oh hey! I will be there too, would be fun to meet in person! 😊👋
Why is touch perceived as weaker during movement?
In our new preprint 📝, we examine tactile suppression during reaching.
Using optimal control theory, we show that tactile suppression reflects dynamic, uncertainty-dependent integration of forward model predictions and sensory feedback.

🚨Finally published - I'm very excited to share this work where we investigated the role of coordinated oscillatory activity 🧠 during social and visual WM processes and how impairments in fine-tuning this mechanisms may explain deficits in individuals with high autistic personality traits.
ASPP will be in Prague this year! #aspp2026
Hands-on python fun + a lovely, supportive community by day, crisp cool staropramen and knedlíky by night - it is going to be peak life 👾💗

🧵(1/6)
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
All theory is wrong until verified by data. Greatly indebted to @mhyaghoubi.bsky.social, @markbrandonlab.bsky.social, @douglasresearch.bsky.social for finding the hippocampus encoding reward prediction! Grateful to my advisor @cpehlevan.bsky.social, @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social.
