Summary: We developed a metric for olfaction that predicts perceptual similarities between complex mixtures, according to their components' molecular structure. We used it to predict discriminability between odors, and to design olfactory metameres. https://t.co/T6BPm5mI7I 2/n

Thrilled to share a peek of our latest project with @OferPerl! 📸 We’re investigating how large language models understand smells and comparing it to human perception. If you’re lucky enough to be in Iceland for ISOT, look for Ofer! #LanguageModels #Olfaction #ISOT2024

Yesterday I presented a unique approach for assessing olfactory language through the lens of large language models. A fun little adventure along with computational rock star @AharonRavia Thanks for @ISOT2024Iceland for allowing this stage for exposure and communication! #ISOT2024

Can beliefs impact brain activity in a dose-dependent manner? A fresh start for 2024 - happy to share our study was just published in @NatMentHealth A thalamic circuit represents dose-like responses induced by nicotine-related beliefs in human smokers https://t.co/05Nv3x3ybC

Why do humans cry with tears? In a paper that was just published in @PLOSBiology. We found that a chemosignal in human tears blocks aggression. https://t.co/Es4hdSCYRp

They say timing is everything, though this time I wish it wasn't so. Absolutely excited and proud to share our study on how neural patterns can differentiate traumatic from sad autobiographical memories in people with #PTSD now out in @NatureNeuro https://t.co/Vzp40r9LcW

Huge congratulations to newly minted Dr. SHANI AGRON for passing her viva and having her first author paper accepted, both in the same week not to mention during war time😲 Shani did it all - synthetic ligands, social chemosignaling, neuroimaging, analytical chemistry and more!

Good morning @MIT @mcgovernmit, We hope you approve. Sincerely, Humanity.

Happy to learn that we were awarded an ERC Synergy grant to further our understanding of how the human sense of smell works and how we can utilize that knowledge to digitalize odors; collaboration between the labs of Noam Sobel @LabWorg Jonathan Williams, Danika Kragic, an my lab

Here are some easy phrases for the new wanna-be Israelis on the block. #IsrealPalestineconflict

What do grid distortions tell us about grid function? Our @NeuroCellPress Perspective reviews cases of deviations from perfect grid. Treated as a feature, not a bug, we speculate on what they mean. w/ @yahadef, @LasLiora, @derdikman & Nachum Ulanovsky https://t.co/UsiObxy0W5

💥💥💥New Preprint alert!💥💥💥 Can the sense of smell be harnessed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (#OSA)? We* think yes! *We = work with the fabulous @ArziAnat 🧵A short thread ahead --> https://t.co/2pmn6W47xM

It's been seven hours and 31 days Since my paper was sent away I hit refresh all night and sleep all day Since my paper was sent away Since you been gone, I can read whatever I want I can cite whomever I choose @AcademicsSay #AcademicChatter

#PTSD, idiosyncrasy, #hippocampus AND narrative perception?! We got you covered! 🚨Our new preprint just d-r-o-p-p-e-d!🚨 Here's a pretty long thread, but I planted some DALL-E generated pics for the ride. https://t.co/JkJXuOijJu 🧵[1/20]🧵

Transport features predict if a molecule is odorous. Great to see the fruits of this collaboration (@jland52 @rgerkin @little_kelsie and others!) out in the world https://t.co/qf1pYWRp8v (1/3)

An olfactory self-test effectively screens for COVID-19 A long journey is concluded. @SmellSpace_IL ,our multisite project is now published in @Nature Communications Medicine A perceptual olfactory measure from household odorants allows #COVID19 screening. https://t.co/ghZ9gzhgTf

Human social chemosignaling will never be the same😱 Extremely pumped to share this study led by @eva_mishor published today in @ScienceAdvances ! #Sniffing the Human Body-Volatile #Hexadecanal Blocks #Aggression in Men but Triggers Aggression in Women. https://t.co/xWo1Gukbqz

3D grid cells @Nature! We found grid fields in 3D were arranged in a local order, but not in a global hexagonal lattice, as was expected from findings in 2D. w/ @yahdef, @yoramburak, @HSompolinsky, @LasLiora & Nachum Ulanovsky https://t.co/AltjrN4Lwa
