Applying to grad school? Want to join my lab? I'm accepting students through Psychology (https://as.nyu.edu/psychology/graduate/phd-cognition-perception.html) or Data Science (https://cds.nyu.edu/phd-admissions-req/)!

It is so pleasant to read through a timeline of updates from accounts I've chosen, without a sponsored or recommended post in every other slot. Feels like back when the whole social media thing was still more social than commercial, when I was still young and optimistic #TwitterMigration #OldInternet

So Meta AI (aka Facebook research) came up with a large language model for science: galactica.org. And I came up with a game: Ask it for the theorem that you have proved! Anyone out there who can explain my theorem to me? Does it even make sense?

Show me yours!

Hi there! I make #sciart about the brain.

A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:

1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.

2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.

3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.

#introduction toot!! I am a neuroscientist at Instituto Cajal in Madrid, Spain. My lab studies how the 🧠hippocampus generates activity patterns (theta, gamma and ripple oscillations) in service for memory function. We target cell-type specific microcircuits and basic neurophysiological mechs in health & disease (e.g., epilepsy). We use #ephys #neuropixels #miniscopes #uLEDs #optogenetics #computationalneuroscience #machinelearning and love developing new #openscience tools & #neurotechnologies
