Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.”
I am absolutely gutted by this denial.
this is welcome news! funding decision are too noisy to make them so consequential, especially in a system already under so much strain. i hope there’ll be a different way to adapt to the increase in applications.
I do this too! externalized replay :)
trying to play peekaboo with my child but he’s reviewer 2:

Jointly with @skjerns.de we're releasing a benchmark dataset with known ground-truth neural sequences in MEG & fMRI, for developing & validating replay methods. First test: existing methods show similar effect sizes, but room to improve shorturl.at/6TgIr
