Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me:
Nature-inspired neuroscience
We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible ✨

Special thanks to @braininspired.bsky.social for mentioning event cameras in a podcast a few years ago, when they were still off my radar!
And many many thanks to all the people involved in the project!
Our study is out in Nature!
Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models.

Please share!! 🙏
For decades, imaging has forced the same trade-off:
Set a frame rate → sacrifice resolution or field of view to go fast.
We break that rule
Using an EVENT-BASED CAMERA, we record neural activity without frames. Signals are captured only where and when they occur:
