🚨We're looking for PIs and industry researchers to mentor our amazing students! You can do a lot of good by meeting with students from diverse backgrounds and guide them on their professional journey. A few hours can make a big difference!
Neuromatch brings together outstanding students from 103 countries, many of whom lack career connections. Spend just one hour a week with them and make a real impact on their lives and career paths.

Congratulations to Jay and to BCM Neuro! Very excited to see the awesome work that will be coming out of this lab.
Big news, I just accepted an offer to join Baylor College of Medicine's Dept of Neuroscience as an asst professor!
I start Fall 2024, and I'm looking for phd students, postdocs, and research scientists to join me studying learning in neural populations.

as a longtime fan of Conway's "Game of Life" algorithm i never once considered visualizing the time axis physically -- this is breathtaking and elegant to me

Postdoc positions available in theoretical neuroscience - understanding neural computation from the data-driven control theory perspective. For more details about the group, please see: …ral-circuits-and-algorithms.… If you are at Cosyne, dm me
Congratulations! And win for big data.

As far as we know, this is the first high-bandwidth neuromotor interface that utilizes biosignals with effective out-of-the-box generalization across individuals. This achievement, led by Patrick Kaifosh and @TRReardon, is the result of the scientific and engineering efforts of hundreds of people and has been documented in a scientific journal preprint (link below).

Who's heading to Cosyne? I'll be recording vignettes for the Neuromatch neuroAI course from field leaders and ECRs, asking: what is NeuroAI? DM me if you're interested in chatting on or off the record.
This is amazing! Magnetic diode for remote neural stimulation!

I really love this story because we solved a problem by making a new class of magnetic materials.
Let me tell you why we couldn't rely on naturally occurring magnetic materials for neuromodulation + why temporal interference for neuromodulatoin is suspect 🌶️ 🧵

Amazing day for my first tweet. Super excited to share my PhD research, published today @Nature.
We find that contrary to popular belief, cortical reactivations predict the future rather than reflect the past.

Me: Can you draw a very normal image?
ChatGPT: Here is a very normal image depicting a tranquil suburban street scene during the daytime.
Me: Not bad, but can you go more normal than that?
