Our new paper is out this week in Nature Neuroscience! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We built a BCI that works with the brain's natural geometry — and we found that people could learn to play a video game with their brains in <1 hr of training. This efficiency is groundbreaking & here's why:
Busch et al. use nonlinear neural manifolds to help humans gain rapid control over a noninvasive brain–computer interface, allowing them to learn how to play a video game with real-time fMRI neurofeed...

How distributed is the brain-wide network that is recruited for perception? 👁️👂🧠
Thrilled to share our new results on brain-wide distributed processing underlying natural vision and audition!

Our python package for real-time targeting of birdsong syllables "Moove" is finally out!
Thanks to my co-authors Nils Riekers, @goebl.bsky.social and Lena Veit.
Our pre-print is online on biorxiv and our code is available on GitHub. Check it out!

Major preprint update! 🎉
How can learned behaviors generalize across environments when the hippocampus remaps?
Our original preprint showed that task-related latent structure persisted across contextual remapping. In this revision, we add the major finding that...

Songbirds are essential animal models for studying neuronal and behavioral mechanisms of learned vocalizations. Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata domestica) songs contain a limited number of acoustica...
Artificial intelligence stands poised to transform our society, yet we hardly understand how it works. A synthesis of physics, neuroscience, and AI can fulfill an urgent need: to build a new, unified ...
🚨 New paper in @nature.com
We asked why two hippocampal areas with very different anatomy, CA3 and CA1, often seem to code space so similarly?
By recording bats flying up to 200m, we found that the difference was hidden by scale!

To solve diverse real-world tasks, the brain must flexibly switch between task rules
and adjust computations. Recent advances in analyzing neural data and modeling neural
networks have revealed their ...
Learned behaviors often generalize across contexts even though neural representations can vary substantially between environments. How the brain preserves task-relevant information across these changi...

The hippocampus exhibits a CA3-to-CA1 coding transformation that combines fast learning with an efficient, compressed neural code.
White matter tracts form the structural foundation of brain networks, yet how structural connectivity develops across the whole connectome remains unclear. In our recent @natcomms.nature.com article, we report a continuous, robust developmental pattern along the S-A connectional axis.😁
