SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle generated with Claude Opus 4.7
This is the first time I actually generated one myself in claude. When did Anthropic add the animation where it adds each part of the svg individually? Certainly getting better every day
average altmetric on papers i see these days
We apologize for the delay but our next profile is here! Dr. Ann Kennedy (@antihebbiann.bsky.social) combines theory & biological data to study how internal states shape social behavior by reconfiguring neural circuit dynamics.

Youthful antics predict lifespan? Using machine learning & continuous recordings of #killifish behavior from adolescence until death, @brunetlab.bsky.social & @deisseroth.bsky.social find early-life behavior predicted future lifespan! Now published @science.org: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪 1/2
Congratulations!
For this year's Neuromatch Computation Neuroscience course, the Curriculum Team is adding a new Day 🥁🥁🥁
Time series analysis and signal processing!
We're looking for 5-10 content contributors with relevant neuro+DSP experience for various tasks: co-Day Lead, video, slides, code tutorials, etc.
Schematic representation of Canonical Correlation Analysis on two-dimensional data. Two scatter plots side by side, one in blue and one in red, each with a covariance ellipse and an arrow indicating the CCA-optimal projection direction. Between them, two overlapping density curves show the projected values along each direction, illustrating a canonical correlation of 0.90.
CCA has come up so many times during my PhD that I finally wrote it all down. felix.phd/blog/cca/
The deadline for applying to the Methods in Computational Neuroscience summer course at MBL in Woods Hole is approaching (March 16)! An exciting course with an amazing lineup of lecturers in a beautiful location www.mbl.edu/education/ad...
a lot has been done for neuroscience education, 3b1b linear algebra videos, NMA, ..
I may be biased, but i feel like there were a lot of interesting results coming from new research in mixed selectivity / population coding / manifolds
Maybe useful when you TA another comp neuro class👨🚀
@arula-ratnakar.bsky.social
Did you see the ratstronaut dataset that was recently uploaded to dandi?
Nice new preprint from Giocomo and Ganguli — using Gaussian processes to look at grid cell tuning in 4D (position × velocity). Turns out position and velocity coding aren't separable in some cells. Makes you wonder how much we miss by always analysing one variable at a time
we finally entered it when mewgenics came out
Have you ever wondered what you would find if you could keep your eyes on a bee for more than a few meters? Us, too!

The major European postdoctoral fellowship, the MSCA, had around 17k applications this year—up from 10k last year, thanks to the evisceration of science funding in the US.
Only 1610 people received support.
This is what brain drain sounds like
Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"
Congrats!
Good that they gave everyone 50$ free credit

Revisiting the high-dimensional geometry of population responses in the visual cortex with @jpillowtime.bsky.social. The review took forever because a reviewer was doubtful our new estimator can infer eigenvalues beyond the rank of the data! (1/6)
