I lead the Dynamics and Neural Systems Group @sydney_physics Use physics/stats to understand dynamics of complex neural systems @[email protected]
Sydney, New South Wales
Joined June 2009
New preprint! Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others? We (w/ Rishi M, @eli_j_muller) address this by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics. https://t.co/S1uCoz3E54

🆕 Neuroimaging dataset released! I’m happy to share that our Naturalistic Neuroimaging Database (NNDb3T+) is now publicly available! NNDb3T+ captures multimodal brain activity in a naturalistic setting with 40 participants and over 160 hours of scanning! ISC maps attached :)

Excited to share our work with @EngelTatiana now published in Nature Machine Intelligence! https://t.co/esZhNUBh5z
RNNs are often used as a model for exploring how the brain may solve specific tasks. In a new preprint, we show that, depending on the architecture, RNNs find different circuit solutions, behaving differently when exposed to novel stimuli. https://t.co/0hpr74i04j

Amazing paper. All the good stuff: brain dynamics, state trajectories, embedding, links to arousal, tracking full dynamic state with a single measurement. https://t.co/N0zbt1Ebob

Nature - Reframing of arousal as a latent dynamical system can reconstruct multidimensional measurements of large-scale spatiotemporal brain dynamics on the timescale of seconds in mice.

imo, many people are more interested in the aesthetics of virtue than virtue itself. similar goes for many things — the aesthetics of a gentleman than behaving like a gentlemen, the aesthetics of intelligence than actual intelligence, and so forth.

Interested in hippocampal dynamics and their interactions with cortical rhythms? Thrilled to see this work led by @phogat_richa hit the public domain - see below for a walk through of the theory, implementation, validation and code!!
New preprint alert 🧠 Ever wondered how the cortex and hippocampus communicate during health and what changes during disease? With @DrBreaky and an amazing team, we built the first geometry-aware model of cortico-hippocampal interactions to answer this. [ https://t.co/oyC1HZKqvQ]

New work with @YanliangShi, @roxana_zeraati, @IntlBrainLab, @SelfOrgAnna. We uncover the principles that organize intrinsic timescales of single neurons across the entire brain, unifying regional specialization with universal brain-wide dynamics:

Variations in intrinsic neural timescales across the mammalian forebrain reflect the anatomical structure and functional specialization of brain areas and individual neurons. Yet, the organization of...
