Lab @ ESI Frankfurt. We believe the brain is noise-free. Or mostly-noise-free-ish. And that if we stare at behaving brains long enough, it will ALL MAKE SENSE.

Now out in NatComms: Mice and monkeys spontaneously shift through comparable cognitive states - and it's written all over their faces! (1/7)

Being mean is bad for your health.
A single hostile interaction:
+ locks you in a cortisol penalty box for 60-90 min
+ suppresses recovery capacity
+ elevates your heart rate
Kindness conserves your energy resources.

Airport luggage handling challenge: passed. Put a #Neuropixels probe on a R2drive in a R2 metal case. Casually drop it in your check-in luggage. Have luggage be handled randomly in Amsterdam and Barcelona. Retrieve R2 metal case and bring the Neuropixels probe safely to @FENSorg #FENS2026 ✅

Announcing the R2 metal implantation system. A machined stainless steel replacement for the weakest link in the R2drive / R2rail workflow: the probe holder. Smaller. Stronger. Better aligned. And it comes with a proper storage-and-assembly case.🧵

I thought we would never work on gamma oscillations again but I was wrong! So happy to see this out in @Nature, truly an epic project spearheaded by @QuentinPerreno1. Gamma isn't always an oscillation, but it's critical for sensory encoding and perceptual performance. @YaleNeuro
(1/8) My latest study is out in @Nature ! Kudos to coauthors especially @jess_cardin and to @KavliAtYale and @WuTsaiYale for support. We find that gamma power in mouse visual cortex is caused by brief events supporting visual processing nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I just peer reviewed: High on your own supply - Is endogenous DMT the key to altered states of consciousness during breathwork? on ResearchHub! researchhub.com/fund/4270/hi…
Aaand we have our final line-up for ESI-SyNC 2025! Check it out! :)
Join us for two exciting days of figuring out what altered states of consciousness do in (and for) your brain!

What shifts in our brain when our consciousness shifts? On Sept 8-9, we will explore this question at ESI-SyNC 2025, with exciting talks, posters and discussions on the neural dynamics of altered consciousness, from psychedelics to near-death experiences and meditation. (1/2)
Registration is 100 Euro (free for PhDs & postdocs).

🇩🇪 3-year universal basic income (UBI) study, in which n=120 received UBI, n=1500 did not. Website is pretty neat, check it out for core findings.

Sweet, sweet review by the awesome @AnneEUrai on the beautiful mess that is behaviour.
Also, best abstract ending I've seen in a long time:
'There is probably no such thing as stable behavior.'
Check it out!

How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing diff. behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: rdcu.be/etlRV
Akin to in-context learning in AI, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience).

My inspiring colleague @GreggNeuroLab was diagnosed with terminal stage breast cancer, a rare disease in males. He came up with a way to combat it and wants to change the way cancer is treated! 🙌statnews.com/2025/06/17/canc…
