A bit late to the game but here’s my #introduction I am a cognitive neuroscientist with a computational twist. I like #RL, #replay, #fmri (sorry!), the #OFC (the rest of the brain isn’t bad either) and also #neural_networks 
Why? I want to understand how people turn experiences into their inner representation of the world that helps them decide, remember and navigate. Getting to work in this is amazing! I am a Prof at Uni Hamburg & Group Leader at MPI Berlin, but currently nappy changer in chief

#Introduction. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at U Mainz Medical Center and co-affiliated with U Bonn Medical center. Primary focus on cortical circuits, their network activity, synaptic plasticity and protein dynamics in dendrites. Broadly interested how circuits learn e.g. neuro/AI interface and want to understand how neural networks compute, both algorithmically and intracellularly. Occational posts about societal and academic issues.

i mean by way of #introduction i have always viewed twitter as a farce and a professional embarrassment so i am not concerned about its recent decline, but i look forward to taking an equally unprofessional stance here. oh and yeah i'm a computational neuroscientist at princeton & visiting deepmind but again my greatest aspiration is that my social media presence is a complete disgrace to them.

#introduction 👋 Hi all - I'm a psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist at UCL.

I mostly think about how to link brain and behaviour to subjective experience, and try to design experiments to understand the computations supporting the latter.

This often (but not always) comes under the umbrella of #metacognition research.

Lab website is here: http://metacoglab.org/

I also enjoy writing for a general audience and published a popular science book, Know Thyself, about the science of metacognition (http://metacoglab.org/book)

Ok, I joined. What's the physiological relevance ?

Co-organized by: Katie Schuman, Timothée Masquelier, Dan Goodman, and Friedemann Zenke.

#introduction I'm a neuroscientist at Oxford and UCL. I spend most of my time thinking about the front of the brain and how it controls behaviour. Sometimes this leads me backwards, but never really further back than hippocampus. I am also deputy editor at eLife so you can shout at me for that if you like.

#introduction I am a professor at Penn and also co-director of the CIFAR Learning in Machines and Brains program. I like to think about neuroscience, AI, and science in general. Neuromatch. Recently, much of my thinking is about Rigor in science and I just started leading a large NIH funded initiative community for rigor (C4R) that aims at teaching scientific rigor.

My interests are broad: Causality, ANNs, Logic of Neuroscience, Neurotech, Data analysis, AI, community, science of science

#introduction My name is Rogier Kievit, professor of Developmental Neuroscience at the Donders Institute and PI of the LCDlab (https://www.rogierkievit.com/). I'm interested in modeling change in brain structure and cognitive performance across the lifespan. Alongside my core scientific interests I work on open science, improving inclusiveness in academia and trying to contribute to climate action efforts. Additionally I enjoy my new pandemic cliché hobbies: running & sourdough baking

Cool new paper from Zador Lab:

#introduction

I am an assistant professor / PI at University of Montreal and Mila.

🧠 I work in computational neuroscience and AI to understand how specialized circuits brain-wide coordinate to drive behavior.
🐒 I do behavioral experiments for systems neuroscience studying learning and movement.
🦾 I apply all of this to enable neuroprosthetic devices, like spinal cord stimulation approaches for motor rehabilitation.

#introduction

I am a researcher at #Mila, the Québec AI institute, and a prof at #McGill University.

My research sits at the intersection of #AI and #neuroscience, with a focus on #learning and #memory.

Most centrally, I'm interested in credit assignment in both space and time, and universal principles of learning related to those questions.

#introduction

I am a PhD student @SaxeLab at the University of Oxford studying how brains can preserve previously acquired knowledge during learning.

My research aims at developing mathematical tools and using simulation studies to understand algorithms that describe and analyse learning in the brain. In particular, I am interested in the learning dynamics of gradient-based algorithms and how they apply to learning in biological organisms.

#introduction

I am a researcher working at the interface of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. I wear two hats.

🎩 I work at Meta Reality Labs, thinking about neuromotor interfaces.

🤠 I am an adjunct professor at Stanford, where I think about neural dynamics and how they give rise to computation and behavior.

🙏 Deep apologies for doing this twice, but I moved servers. Shouldn't happen again.

Cosyne 2023 workshop proposals due today!! https://cosyne.org/workshops-call

Belated #introduction: I am interested in open-endedness and reinforcement learning research. I'm an Associate Professor at the UCL Centre for AI where I am a PI for the UCL DARK (https://dark.cs.ucl.ac.uk/) lab with @egrefen (some of our students are here as well @LauraRuis @minqijiang @mika) and collaborate closely with @jnf. At DeepMind, I am leading the Open Endedness Team (follow @jparkerholder).

Here's my intro:

-> I'm a Research Scientist at DeepMind (for ~ 7 yrs)

-> I have BS and Masters in (pure) Maths, Masters in Psychology and PhD in CS

-> Our team researches systems that jointly learn language while acting and perceiving

-> We get interested when language interacts with 'general' (non-lang) intelligence

-> I lived in LatAm for a couple of yrs

-> I can run, but not as fast as I used to

-> If you know more about football than me, I'd like to meet you

-> Ditto 80s music

We are looking for postdocs! (1) To study how brainwide neuronal activity supports diverse behaviors (w Kenneth Harris); (2) To relate the activity of a neuron to its pre- and postsynaptic neurons across cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc
