Looking forward to sharing this work - tomorrow (Nov 8, Tuesday, 8a EST / 3p IST) at BIU in Isreal, from Philly.
The transformation from seeing to remembering images.
#introduction post!
I'm Dan - I started building interactive 3D tools for #neuroscience this year. So far, I've built a neuropixels planning tool https://github.com/VirtualBrainLab/Pinpoint and a python API for rendering exploratory data visualizations that involve the mouse brain https://github.com/VirtualBrainLab/Urchin. Currently a postdoc @ UW
Get in touch if you think about science data visualization, I'm looking for ideas for the next great tool to contribute to or start building!
I wrote a simple guide to the very basics of Mastodon — feel free to send to any newbies who are thinking of coming on board: https://clivethompson.medium.com/come-join-me-on-mastodon-folks-bbb073ff05d2
Time for an #introduction!
👩🔬 I am a PhD candidate in the University of Pennsylvania’s #Neuroscience Graduate Group working in systems/computational neuroscience. My work uses neural data and computational modeling to study our incredible capacity to remember what we see.
📝 In addition to doing my own science, I’m enthusiastic about #scienceCommunication. Over the last year or so I’ve had the opportunity to learn and write about lots of fascinating neuroscience research (https://catrinahacker.com/writing.html).
🎲 Outside science I love reading, running, biking, and playing games. I’m always looking for a great new book to read or game to play!
Neuroscience PhD candidate and sci-comm enthusiast interested in brains 🧠 and models of them 💻.
