Researchers are inviting death metal singers into the lab to understand how they can scream, growl, and squeal without hurting their vocal tissues. What they’re finding upends conventional wisdom on vocal health. https://t.co/4f4vW1qMNL

With cameras down their throats, metal singers show how they produce growls, screams, and squeals without damaging their vocal tissues.

High-Dimensional Dynamics in Low-Dimensional Networks. New preprint with former undergrad, Yue Wan. This was a fun project. The results counterintuitive on the surface, seem somewhat obvious in hindsight, but then there's more to them when you dig deeper.

After 7 years, thrilled to finally share our #MICrONS functional connectomics results! We recorded activity from ~75K neurons in visual cortex in a single mouse, then mapped its wiring using electron microscopy. To systematically characterize neuron function, we built the first

Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making. Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards
How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

I enjoyed working with former student Manoj Subedi and former postdoc Hyunjung Kim (U Cincinnati) on showing how an initially homogeneous population can evolve multiple foreign strategies:

Thanks go to everyone who has been on this journey with me, including my graduate and postdoc mentors Wim van Drongelen, Josh Gold, @kjosic , and Zack Kilpatrick! I would never have reached this point without their and many others' support and encouragement.

I'm thrilled to share that I'm joining @bcm_neurosci as an asst prof starting Jan 2025! My group is broadly interested in how biological and artificial neural systems learn and adapt. We're looking for researchers at all levels to join us in this exciting endeavor. Stay tuned!

New research from @FSUMathematics Assistant Professor @BRamKram and colleagues explains the mathematics behind how initial biases and additional information affect decision making. Published today by @APSphysics. https://t.co/qf3LaoCVjb

How easy would it be to recreate Bell Labs? https://t.co/R1n2CHKjjd (I didn't know that Bell Labs also accumulated three Emmys, two Grammys, and an Oscar.)

Reposting this again, since I had a lot of fun with this one. And both the novella and Minsky's essay should be better known.

In my latest for @newscientist mathematics, statistical physics and psychology meet to lend insight into how groups of people make decisions if folks within it have different initial biases
newscientist.com
Within a group of decision-makers, the longer it takes someone to make a choice, the less likely they are to be influenced by their inherent biases according to a mathematical model

Our paper can be found here: https://t.co/j07bjfz9r0 Early decisions are noise driven. Late decisions as if initial bias is sampled from quasi-stationary distribution. This gives unbiased decision. Why? "We forge initial bias" is right, but there must be a deeper explanation.

Nice coverage of upcoming article with @zpkilpat, @BRamKram, @sjayelle and Sean Lawley in New Scientist by @kpcallaghan_ This is a surprisingly subtle problem, and took some careful analysis: Results might seem obvious at first glance, but not so. https://t.co/Pw99fGY6eW

An Engines episode on Gustav Fechner. Did you know that he nearly lost his sight after staring at the Sun. He fell into a four year long depression, and reemerged with a determination to rigorously study how we process sensory information: https://t.co/zL3ab7OYZI
