Feel free to use and disseminate NERV (10/10)

Bad financial advice has existed for ages. Origin’s AI Advisor changes that.

Kyle is graduating this year. I expect great things from him! (9/10)

Code is freely available in Github (8/10):

We have already been using it in human and animal experiments! (7/10)

New Today. Link in bio.

Benchmarking confirmed excellent real-time control of stimulus presentation and alignment with behavior (6/10)

The development workflow is illustrated below (5/10)

Kyle put together a very impressive environment that allows rapid prototyping of tasks even for non-experienced programmers, while offering flexibility for those who want to customize task design, fully. (4/10)

A talented undergraduate student who spent the summer in my lab, Kyle Coutray (not in social media), undertook the challenge to bring us to the 21st century. Behold Neuroscience Experimental Runtime by Vanderbilt (NERV) written in C# and using the Unity engine. (3/10)

Presenting stimuli and synchronizing task and behavioral events with neural activity has always been a challenge. We have been using a MATLAB based software for quite a while, but it was obvious that it had reached the end of its useful life. (2/10)

Moments after implantation, our device can provide visibility into real-time neural activity. This video shows the gradual increase in activity as one of our recent participants wakes up post-procedure 🌅🧠

What I’m seeing in Athens, AL should scare all of us. Haitians are arriving overnight, with the help of local officials. This isn’t just an Athens problem — it could be YOUR town next. Please watch this episode and understand what’s really happening. 🎙️ Your Town Could Be Next:

This new DeepMind research shows just how broken vector search is. Turns out some docs in your index are theoretically incapable of being retrieved by vector search, given a certain dimension count of the embedding. Plain old BM25 from 1994 outperforms it on recall. 1/4

We have openings for several fully-funded positions (PhD & PostDoc) at the intersection of AI/ML, dynamical systems, and neuroscience within a BMFTR-funded Neuro-AI consortium, at Heidelberg University & Central Institute of Mental Health (see below): https://t.co/CZNXECQETe

The lateral prefrontal cortex 🧠— which we think of as critical for goal driven behavior + is a target for psychiatric treatments— is fundamentally different in individuals relative to the group averages we’ve often studied. 👇see our preprint and thread, led by @zach_ladwig

The University of Arizona is holding an open-rank neuroscience faculty search, multiple tenure-track positions available! Positions will be in the new Department of Translational Neurosciences at the College of Medicine in Phoenix.

In neuroscience, we often try to understand systems by analyzing their representations — using tools like regression or RSA. But are these analyses biased towards discovering a subset of what a system represents? If you're interested, check out our new commentary! Thread:

The news is out: Our Ten-Pay BTC Whole Life policy now starts at 0.25 BTC. A market-leading adjustment that keeps us aligned with Bitcoin’s price evolution.

🚀 New Open-Source Release! PyTorchTNN 🚀 A PyTorch package for building biologically-plausible temporal neural networks (TNNs)—unrolling neural network computation layer-by-layer through time, inspired by cortical processing. PyTorchTNN naturally integrates into the

I was recently asked to provide some input for the DSM-6 Planning Committee. These were my top suggestions: 1. Establish a diagnostic hierarchy. The lack of a diagnostic hierarchy in psychiatry has led to a "false comorbidity" problem, wherein symptoms are mistaken for disorders
