Activity in the M2 predicts upcoming choices. But what does the activity represent? A gaze-centered plan? A world-centered goal? A specific movement? We asked rats to plan responses to different targets from different start position to find out! 1/5 jneurosci.org/content/44/37/…

“You can’t just be confident, you have to be confident about something.” Research led by @erlichlab and Xiaoyue Zhu set out to disentangle the different kinds of confidence by designing a perceptual gambling task for rodents. ⬇️ sainsburywellcome.org/web/bl…
Diagram of the perceptual gambling task. Rats need to report whether a tone is lower or higher than 8KHz. On some trials a flash on the right (or left) indicates that correct responses to the side of the flash will result in a higher reward. But errors are never rewarded. Credit - Jeff Erlich.

Finally! This is the version of record; it's also the version to read, thanks to the review process at eLife. The finding was out of reach before macaque Neuropixels. @eLife: Direct observation of the neural computations underlying a single decision doi.org/10.7554/eLife.90859.…

Direct observation of the neural computations underlying a single decision

Simultaneous recording from many neurons in macaque lateral intraparietal area reveals the elusive drift-diffusion signal, long suspected to underlie individual perceptual decisions and response...

We could decode the 2D position and direction but planning was done preferentially in self-centred direction coordinates 4/5

The self and world centred information was multiplexed at the single neuron level as a position gain field modulating directional tuning! Read the paper to find of more details! 5/5

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.
