🧠 #BernsteinConference 2025 Recap / Day 2
The Main Conference began in the afternoon with a talk by @yiotapoirazi.bsky.social, followed by the Valentin Braitenberg Award ceremony in which Sara A. Solla received the Golden Neuron. The first two Poster Sessions concluded a day full of science!
🧠 Bernstein Conference 2025 Recap / Day 1
The conference kicked off on Sept 29 with 11 Satellite Workshops, covering everything from modeling brain development to big-picture debates in systems neuroscience. It was great to see so many lively discussions! 👇
#BernsteinConference #CompNeuro
This year's #BernsteinConference was a blast! So many cool discussions, so many faces I was happy to see again, so many interesting new people to meet etc.
Within this, my highlight was the PhD hackathon organized with @irinapochinok.bsky.social
We had a full house of super bright students!

The #BernsteinConference 2025 just ended. A fantastic meeting with inspiring talks and posters, lively discussions, and valuable exchanges across #Neuroscience & #CompNeuro. Many thanks to the organizers and all who made this event possible! 💪👏
@leoboeger.bsky.social is our ambassador to this year's #BernsteinConference! He extended our recent work on behavioral states during predatory aggression to explicitly model latents and how they change in diverse neuronodulator mutants! As usual, joint work with the @jameslightfoot.bsky.social lab.
At #BernsteinConference heated debate on WM mechanisms. I love that this is still far to be settled!
trained RNNs from A.Compte aligns with fruitfly direction WM data from K.Nagel: it is persistent.
Large scale recording in macaque V1 in T.Moore Lab: it is not.
#neuroskyence what's your take?
How can we identify state transitions from neural data — in an unsupervised way? (1/4)

Curious how #OdorDiscrimination can emerge in a biologically plausible recurrent spiking model/ #SNN? Using e-prop learning, we show heterogeneous #NeuronTuning and population trajectories in #NeuralStateSpace. Come check out my poster (#35) at 👉 #BernsteinConference, today in session I!
Just attended the 2-day satellite workshop on #RepresentationalDrift with excellent talks and discussions! A great start to the #BernsteinConference, which starts in less than an hour 👌

P. pacificus feeding on a C. elegans larvae.
Interested in neuromodulation, predatory worms or hidden Markov models? Or the combination of all three? Then come and see my poster (number 21) today in poster session 1 at the #BernsteinConference.
Curious about similarity metrics?
What if we could capture dynamical similarity that’s noise-robust and computationally efficient? (1/4)

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.
