Hello Mastodon peeps 👋! This is what it looks like across hundreds of neurons in prefrontal cortex when a monkey starts dozing off.

#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.

#introduction

👋

I am a neuroscientist interested in the circuit dynamics of adaptive but reliable visually guided behavior.

In our group at the U Bonn, we study

- the stabilization of the neural code in visual perception, learning, and memory

- the pathway-specific processing of sensory and self-motion signals

We emphasize ethologically relevant behavior, longitudinal synapse- and circuit-level optophysiology, and miniaturized and bench-top two-photon microscopy.

An Incredible Day In Internet History

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users per hour. A QUARTER MILLION people migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

Moving to Mastodon and looking for my followers

This is just to make sure that I send out my first toot before my last tweet and to say that I'm also here on this platform. Let's see what's coming. In any case, looking forward to the interactions!
