Fascinating talk by Harini Sudha at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat about Adaptive Retinal Models with Deep Reinforcement Learning and how deep reinforcement learning can model adaptive processes in the retina. #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Insightful presentation by Iris Schnepf at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on Ultra-rapid Object Recognition and whether ultra-fast object recognition is “too fast to be true,” she applied classifiers to dissect the computational plausibility of such rapid decisions. #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Great talk by Hongyu Li at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on Cortico-thalamic interactions in visual processing through thalamic reticular nuclei (TRN).” She explored cortical feedback via the TRN shapes visual processing in the thalamus. 🐭🧠 #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Engaging presentation by @nkraynyukova.bsky.social at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on Tracking changes in mouse V1 visual responses over time.👁️🧠 A fascinating look into how visual cortical activity evolves and adapts across time in the mouse brain. #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Insightful talk by @muthujeyanthi.bsky.social at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on Gamma-Theta-Spike Coupling Coordinates Sequential Memory in Human MTL. 🧠✨
A fascinating exploration of how rhythmic neural interactions support the organization of human memory. #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Fascinating presentation by @shivanihari.bsky.social at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on how Bats use Multiple Strategies in Parallel to Prevent Jamming. 💬🦇 Exciting insights into the strategies bats use!
Special thanks to the chair of the session, Harini Sudha!

Great talk by @florentyna-d.bsky.social at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat exploring how suppressed-by-contrast cells shape visual responses in the mouse brain. 🐭💬 #WomenInSTEM #SPP #SFB1233
Insightful talk by Chen-Chen Cai at the SPP x SFB1233 Women’s Retreat on Robust Neural and Behavioral Object-Background Segregation in Mice.
She showed how neural circuits enable perceptual stability by distinguishing objects from complex backgrounds. 🐭🧠
