𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: - using GMMs we show that retinal inputs are functionally distinct & laminar-organized - functional diversity of retinal output matches with SC retinal input (using a VAE-approach and RGC reference data) - digital twin model generalizes across stimuli, which it wasn't trained on (3/🧵)

Excited to share that our paper got accepted @NeurIPS! 🎉 We introduce TRACE, a new contrastive learning method for visualizing multi-trial neural time-series data. 📊 2D visualizations revealing biological patterns 🔍 Automatic artifact detection 🔬 Works for calcium imaging & electrophysiology data

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗯 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵: The trained digital twin model lets you feed in any stimulus you're curious about and generate your own neural responses. Feed in your own stimulus and see what the model predicts 👇 💻 Colab notebook: colab.research.google.com/drive/1k9411... (4/🧵)

What does it really mean to become a parent in academia? In our special episode, two mothers engage in a reflective and honest conversation about their experiences of becoming mothers while pursuing academic careers. 🎙️ Listen now: linktr.ee/i_am_scientist #WomenInScience

Huge thanks to an incredible cross-institutional team spanning Stanford, University of Tübingen, University of Göttingen, Baylor College of Medicine, LMU Munich, UCSF, ISTA Austria, and Universitätsklinikum Tübingen. (5/🧵)

We combined chronic two-photon imaging of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axonal boutons in the mouse superior colliculus (SC) with deep dynamic models that predict neural responses to parametric light stimuli and natural movies. (2/🧵)
