We are pleased to announce the launch of the #OPMCollaboration 🧠

In partnership with @youngepilepsy the project aimed to raise the voices of young people with epilepsy, by co-designing key elements of new brain scanning technology, OPM-MEG.

My biggest takeaway from attending my first AI conference in person since ChatGPT is the level of FOMO that researchers feel about it. So many talks referencing or cracking jokes about ChatGPT. So many researchers trying to intersect their work with ChatGPT to stay relevant.

I am starting my own research group at @TheCrick Institute in London! We will be investigating how neuronal circuits in the brain drive social interactions between animals.

I have an immediate opening for a PhD student, apply by 22 March!

New Preprint! We often learn gradually, but sometimes things occur to us in a flash, aka aha-moment. Why? We explored the comp. mechanisms of spontaneous periods of fast learning & show they arise even in simple NNs.
