📣Excited to share our preprint on excitatory morphological cell types in mouse visual cortex led by Marissa Weis. In this paper, we describe a set of principles that capture the morphological diversity excitatory neurons. A thread: (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Large-scale unsupervised discovery of excitatory morphological cell types in mouse visual cortex

Neurons in the neocortex exhibit astonishing morphological diversity which is critical for properly wiring neural circuits and giving neurons their functional properties. The extent to which the...

LLMs will change *everything* for teaching. I want to develop a set of procedures for @neuromatch to utilize their potential. So looking to build a (volunteer) group to build a suite of tools that use LLMs to improve teaching. Broadly construed. DM me if interested.

Excited that my thesis work in collab w/ with Dat T. Tran & @AToliasLab is out as a preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We use #DeepLearning to study single-cell invariance in 🐭 V1 and discover a new form of bipartite invariance that may play a role in object boundary detection.

The noisy review process tipped in our favor! Huge congratulations to @NeuroPavi and co-authors on the COSYNE poster acceptance. And looking forward to seeing some fun science in Montreal 🎉

So many new labs starting this fall👏✨ #newPI pro tip: whatever time, money, and effort you invest in solid data management pipelines and git controlled code is worth it. When I started 5 years ago (today), it was a priority and it’s so, so worth it. #BetterCodeBetterResearch

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has accelerated model-building across many disciplines. It’s also useful for studying cognition: We present Mixed Neural Likelihood Estimation, an SBI method tailored to models of decision-making! By @janfiete @janmatthis @_rdgao @jakhmack 1/5

👏👏 Definitely the right decision to use this method for DDM parameter inference if you care about reducing your electricity consumption - which I hope is all of you reading this 🌎🔥 congrats @_rdgao @janmatthis @jakhmack and in particular congrats @janfiete
Machine Learning in Science@mackelab2 Aug 2022
Replying to @mackelab
MNLE is highly simulation-efficient: We apply it to two variants of the drift-diffusion model of decision-making and show that it infers accurate and well-calibrated posteriors, but requires only 10^5 training simulations where a previously developed method needed 10^11!🚀🚀 3/5

Congrats to @NeuroPavi for presenting her work @ AREADNE! She's looking at credit assignment learning in BCI at both the neuron and population levels. Surprisingly, initial results suggest learning leads to relatively sparse but high-dimensional solutions!

Can you guess what's hidden in these images? How did you arrive at the solution? Can we build AI algorithms that solve it in a similar way? We developed a new dataset to investigate the iterative generation and refinement of perceptual hypotheses.🧵 openaccess.thecvf.com/conten…
