#introduction Hi everyone!
I'm a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London. We study how neurons in the neocortex connect to each other - and how they choose, which connections to make. We mostly use the visual cortex as a model and are particularly interested in how it contributes to depth perception. In many mammals depth perception develops without visual experience and we are looking for the innate circuits that support it. We also develop new methods to study the relationship between gene expression, connectivity and in vivo functional properties of single neurons.

Hmm. I am usually the last to join a new technology/trend (refused cell phones for years, didn't want to upgrade from windows 3.11 to 95 😃 and kept Keynote9 for way too long). So moving to mastodon so early makes me nervous.
Consider this my @introduction. I am tentatively here :).
Computational neuroscientist by training (RL FTW), now comp psychiatry & psychotherapy (human behavior & individual diff FTW), and on sabbatical learning & practicing CBT! Lab @ Princeton full of wonderful people.
Now that this thing has taken off and I've (almost) figured out how it works- a proper #introduction!
I'm a Group Leader in the #neuroscience program at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon, Portugal. My lab studies neural circuits for learning & coordinating movement.
I'm still not sure if moving here will capture the best or circumvent the worst of the birdapp. Meanwhile, https://fedifinder.glitch.me is helpful for finding people. Can anyone recommend a good #mastodon app for #iOS?
Very pleased to be awarded CZI Essential Open Source Software funding to continue the @brain_globe@twitter.com work, and further develop @napari_imaging@twitter.com into a platform for neuroscientists.

We’re announcing 40 new grants to some of the most widely-used scientific #OpenSource software tools that are essential to science https://chanzuckerberg.com/eoss/proposals/?cycle=5

I realized I never did an #introduction!
I'm Grace Lindsay. I'm a new Asst. Prof in #Psychology and #DataScience at New York University. I wrote a popular science book on how & why we use #math to study the #brain.
In my research in my lab I hope to model how #attention works in the brain. I'm also separately working on applications of #MachineLearning to #ClimateChange!

Ok, I joined. What's the physiological relevance ?
A new milestone for the lab today as we've created our first shared Latex document as we're preparing to submit the lab's first abstract to Cosyne. 
Intro time. Hi #sciencemastodon - I'm Co-Founder of the #preprint servers bioRxiv & medRxiv at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, where I also oversee CSH Perspectives and other #publishing projects. I trained as a molecular biologist. My goal is to improve science communication.
Learn more about bioRxiv at https://doi.org/10.1101/833400 - and on the podcast https://tinyurl.com/y8rbttwz
I'm also interested in promoting understanding of different career paths for academics. More at https://tinyurl.com/4papvn5z
Cool new paper from Zador Lab:
Slightly surprised how this turned out: most respondents in my unscientific poll will continue using both Mastodon and Twitter. Only 8% are leaving twitter outright.
Will repeat the poll in a few weeks to see how the sentiment shifts.
Good time to announce that I will be starting my lab at SIDB & University of Edinburgh early next year! 🎉 We will investigate neuromodulation and cortical learning, as well as their dysfunction in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder
Tip for the new folk:
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.
For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”
But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search for and find them.
With the #neurosciencemigration gaining momentum, I'm curious how everyone joining from Twitter is thinking about using the two platforms in the near future?
#introduction: I am obsessed with the biology of #hallucinations and #delusions.
I am a #newPI at the Francis Crick Institute, London. In our lab, the #Psychosis Collective, we study the neural circuits and immune processes underlying unfounded perceptions and thoughts 🐭 👤 . I look forward to great #neuroscience #immunology #neuroimmunology #psychiatry here!
This is me moving to London without ever having been to London before.
#Introduction Hi all! I run a neuroscience lab based at UCL in London where we investigate the role of the hippocampus in making complex, context-guided decisions. We study the anatomical, cellular, circuit, and computational principles underlying such decisions, and how they go awry in disease.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
