My colleague, office mate and friend Thomas Luo (@thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social) has just left to start his own lab (theluolab.org). If you are looking to join a lab in neuro. and/or machine learning, you could not hope for a better mentor. Congrats to @utah.edu for the great hire! Please share!
What happens in your brain when you make up your mind?
Postdoc (soon faculty at U. of Utah) @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and ex-grad student (now Shanahan Fellow at Allen Institute) @timkimd.bsky.social have some answers in this new paper out in Nature!

Wow it's so nice to hear the work made an impact! And yes, we definitely verged on the poetic in the writing at time! Would love to hear more about what came up in your discussion.
Always exciting when someone reads one's work! Thank you for the interest and the quotes @ulisespereirao.bsky.social
And a shout out here to Adrian Bondy, @juliecharlton.bsky.social and @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social, the wonderful co-first-authors who led the work.
Adrian is on the job market!
Friday’s AIND JC lead by Shawn Olsen and I on the Brody lab preprint ran 90+ min, unusual. Nice paper, spirited discussion. Make a clear argument that to grasp behavior we need multiregional, multi-neuron, simultaneous single-trial data. Below quotes from the paper.

I'll be participating in this, giving a talk on methods for using multi-region Neuropixels to observe the brain's hidden conversation during cognition. Great learning opportunity for those new to Neuropixels.
On my way to NYC to participate in this. Should be an exciting day! Looking forward to speaking in a good session on decision making.
This is an important paper that will impact the field of systems neuroscience profoundly. I am glad to have contributed to it in a small way. Congrats to @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and @timkimd.bsky.social
