If you happen to own the cheap but amazing Behringer X-TOUCH mini #MIDI controller, you can use it to navigate in #Fiji 's #N5 #BigDataViewer plugin. The video is an older capture from when I was playing around with the controller but it work's exactly the same. The API works for all #MCU devices but you would have to provide the layout https://github.com/saalfeldlab/n5-viewer/blob/master/src/main/java/org/janelia/saalfeldlab/control/mcu/XTouchMiniMCUControlPanel.java (also, infinity VPots without physical min and max are useful for this). PRs welcome!

To #journalists on #mastodon : Realize that you can embed Toots like you embed Tweets in your stories. Under the 3 dots at the end of a Toot, you will find "Embed" which allows you to embed a toot in your content management system. Another way in which you can now replace #Twitter with Mastodon in your reporting.

3,013 neurons, half a million synapses: the complete #connectome of the whole #Drosophila larval brain!

We’ve mapped and analysed its circuit architecture, from sensory neurons to brain output neurons, as reconstructed from volume electron microscopy, and here is what we found. 1/

#introduction To fill in my profile tags, a thread:

#TrakEM2 open source software mostly for #connectomics, and supports manual and automatically montaging and aligning overlapping 2D image tiles (with #SIFT features and rigid or elastic transformation models), and reconstructing by painting volumes or tracing branched neuronal arbors neurons plus synapses to map a #connectome from #vEM (volume electron microscopy).

I'm no Stephen Hawking, but I think what happens is that they cancel each other out.

Hi, we're now on Fediscience! #Introduction

We're an #OpenAccess not-for-profit journal that publishes and reviews #research in the life and biomedical sciences.

We want to improve the way research is practised and shared in part by working with early-career researchers #ECR and supporting #OpenSource technology.

We also just announced our new publishing model that we hope will tackle an overreliance on journal titles and publishing decisions as quality measures for science and scientists.

#introduction

👋 Hello from #Zurich!

I'm a researcher working at the intersection of #neurosciene and #ai. Before joining Google's #connectomics team earlier this year, I did my PhD advised by @jakhmack on simulation-based Inference (#sbi).

Excited to see Mastodon gaining momentum!

‘Eat local’ is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet.

But transportation makes up a very small amount of the greenhouse gas emissions from food.

*What* you eat is far more important than *where* your food traveled from.
