A massive thank you and congratulations to you, @kw_cooper, for leading this humongous project. We hope this review paper is a fun and useful read to those interested in data analysis of neural activity data.

From mechanical gears in the 1930s to deep learning in the 2020s, the way we study the brain has been a race between technology and analysis. How do we close the gap? Our new paper, doi.org/10.1080/26941899.202… traces this journey, offers resources, and notes a plan for the future.

There is something in each section for everyone: students can get a field-level "big picture" (past), experts can stay current on new methods (present), and research program planners can identify the gaps (like data storage and training) we need to fill to reach the future.

Can I interest you in some non-spatial sequence replay in hippocampal ensembles? Perhaps you’d prefer some ordinal or schematic representations in prefrontal ensembles? Check out our posters Tuesday afternoon: WW48-51 😉 @Neurogaelias @kw_cooper @mansi_saraf @ucicnlm

"Moving bar of light evokes vectorial spatial selectivity in the immobile rat hippocampus" Now in @Nature. If O'Keefe & Nadel had walked into a bar with Hubel & Wiesel in 1960s, instead of hippocampal place cells they might have been called VEVS. rdcu.be/cGGNl 1/4

Our paper on the hippocampal mechanisms supporting the memory for nonspatial event sequences just came out in @NatureComms! Very proud of our collaborative team of neuroscientists (@ucicnlm, @UCIBioSci) and data scientists (@UCIbrenICS). Details to come! rdcu.be/cGAHU

Big congrats to @kw_cooper for landing a prestigious NSF GRFP! We're all proud of you and couldn't ask for a better team member. Looking forward to working on that ambitious project with you at the @ucicnlm! Some truly exciting stuff to come. 🥳

Less than 3% of all psych & neuro faculty are Black Keep this in mind during your faculty searches. And don’t mention a “leaky pipeline”. Fix it. #RepresentationMatters 🧠

what are we looking at here? this is what ‘diversity’ currently looks like in academia. each line represents an R1 university. for each school, these are the % estimates for psychology and neuroscience faculty by race/eth guess what the blue represents.

Couldn’t be prouder of our neighborhood. All these busy families showed up for a peaceful protest on short notice. Let’s keep this momentum going!

Congrats Mike! In addition to being an extraordinary scientist, Mike is usually the smartest and nicest person in every room he walks in. Needless to say, these things don’t usually go together. Is there an award for that? bu.edu/today/2018/michael-ha…
