Correlations in neural population codes limit encoding capacity and windows of integration - below is a nice summary of how theory & experiments helped us understand why it is important to study population-level phenomena, and not merely sets of neurons in isolation >

👋 I am a student at UPenn, working with @annaschapiro and Brett Foster studying how our changes over time and during 🧐😴🧠

Outside of lab, I love playing soccer and printmaking (current project is screen-printing images of my brain on any fabric I can find!)

Now that #COSYNE2023 abstracts are in I want to announce a #CIFAR workshop on #cognition, #AI and #consciousness that will take place *the day before COSYNE* (March 8) here at #Mila.

We have a great line-up and registration is *free*!

Please boost!!!!!

#introduction 🤓

I am a physicist specialized in #fluiddynamics and #solidmechanics with experience in #interdisciplinary research and #neuroscience. I develop modelling tools to predict #fluidstructure interactions in the #brain.

My research focuses on the role of intracranial vessel pulsation in #neurodegenerative diseases. I am highlighting how measurements of intracranial fluid dynamics combined with #biomechanics modelling can help to better understand and characterize brain #ageing.

Resending my #Introduction since moving to #mathstodon. I'm a neurotechnologist and neuroscientist at Imperial College London (where I am Prof of Neurotechnology in the Dept of Bioengineering). My research focuses on understanding the neural coding of memory, and how it is impaired in memory disorders. I also develop new tools for neuroscience (multiphoton, data analysis, mouse behaviour etc). Outside science I'm into cycling (particularly gravel). #neuroscience #neurotechnology

Because this was my only post ever that got +5k likes on Twitter, it is only fitting that this is my first post here ⤵️

I created an awesome-PhD list on GitHub where everybody can contribute with their own tools and resources! 🔥

This is a great resource, @helenahartmann. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏽

Please allow me to introduce myself. #Moby-Dick is the novelistic soundtrack of my life. The rest is #Dylan. #Dogs, #coffee, #books (especially #19th-century US lit) make me very happy. I write, think, and talk a lot about dementia, most recently a book with Dr. Bruce Miller of UCSF, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain (Johns Hopkins, 2021).

Hello,

I am a neuroscientist studying how specific regions in the brain are vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease (). We are mainly interested in the neurons of entorhinal cortex and hippocampal since they are affected early in AD and important for memory. We use in vivo electrophysiology to understand the population dynamics of neurons affected by amyloid beta and tau pathologies. More recently, we've been interested in how locus coeruleus pathology impacts downstream regions.
Was awesome meeting so many fellow scientists at the meeting
