Do you want to understand how the brain 🧠 dynamically processes visual stimuli? Join #Sensorium2023 at #NeurIPS2023, where your dynamic model competes 🏆 to predict tens of thousands of neurons in early mouse visual system! 🐭 1/7

Here is a nice little idea we had how to generate better and faster MEIs (maximally exciting inputs). Even better: the method is not specific to MEIs.
My latest preprint is out! 🥳
We introduced a new diffusion guidance method EGG 🥚 using energy functions that allowed us to optimize neurally exciting images.
Many thanks to @KonstantinWille @ArneNix @pavithraE_ @kfrankelab @AToliasLab @sinzlab
Check out the preprint now

Does the concept of cortical columns extend to higher-level primate cortex?
Using #DeepLearning & physiology, we found that V4 neurons cluster in columns & form functional groups biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How can we identify what are the invariances that biological neurons encode for? Check out my work with
@neuralbash. @AntolikLab and @sinzlab "Learning invariance manifolds of visual sensory neurons" openreview.net/pdf?id=2dQyEN…
It's also at @neur_reps, poster session at 3:30pm!
Interested in knowledge distillation, data augmentation, or equivariance? Then come to our poster at the "Synthetic Data for Empowering ML Research" workshop!
I'll be presenting 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. in rooms 288-289. neurips.cc/virtual/2022/5867…

We’ll present our @Sensorium_2022 competition this evening at NeurIPS!
There’ll be Pizza, drinks, and surprise gifts for participants of our competition 🥳
Today at 6 PM at Ballroom C 🍾

Are you interested in using machine learning to better understand the brain? We have thre open PhD positions in machine learning and neurology (sinzlab.org/openpositions.ht…). We particularly encourage women and other underrepresented groups in STEM fields to apply.

Very happy to share my first first-author paper. We show that popular multi-hypothesis 3D human pose estimation metrics favor overconfident distributions.

For women, for life, and for liberty!
Iranians in Iran need our support now more than ever! Let's be their voice!
One of the best commentaries about what “Zan, Zendegi, Azadi,” [Woman, Life, Liberty] mean, by @AliVelshi. He ends the segment with this message to the Iranian women: “You are not voiceless; we hear you, we see you.” A must watch!

We finally got to present the course on "AI and Mobility" that we developed over the last year to teachers. This concluded our Erasmus+ project. It was a lot of fun to work together with @leon_het and @BerberichN

So excited this is out @Nature 🎉
Pupil dilation with internal brain state rapidly shifts neural feature/color selectivity in mouse visual cortex by switching between rod&cone photoreceptors👁️🧠

We created a short, but thorough introduction to machine learning. It was great fun working with @neuralbash on this project.
If you know someone who wants to start with machine learning, please share these videos.
@arnenix and @neuralbash gave a short introductory course on machine learning at the "Bridging the Technological Gap" workshop at @DPZ_eu. From that, they created a ~2 hour crash course, for anyone interested to get started with ML, available on YouTube: bit.ly/3S6ddpv

Are you interested in understanding how the brain processes what we see? Do you want to build a predictive model and compare its performance to others, defining the new state-of-the-art model of the early visual system of mice? Join the SENSORIUM 2022 #Neurips competition!
Check out our poster tomorrow (Tuesday) at @aistats_conf
If you're interested in learning more about why functional transfer methods struggle with transferring even simple inductive biases, check out our poster presentation on Tuesday 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. GMT: virtual.aistats.org/virtual/… #AISTATS2022
We had a lot of fun teaching high-school students about AI. It's always amazing to see the curiosity of these young students.

If you are a Scientist (PhD student/Postdoc) in Machine Learning or Comp Neuro who has to leave Ukraine because of Russia's invasion, and you need a university to host you for 6-12 month, we can potentially get funding for that (volkswagenstiftung.de/unsere….)
