New paper out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social ๐
What determines contextual modulation in V1? Why does the visual surround sometimes facilitate and sometimes suppress a neuron's response to its preferred stimulus?
Vision Science makes the front page of NYT!!
featuring work from @neurofishh.bsky.social and @denilsson.bsky.social with comments from Berkeley's own @karthikshekhar.bsky.social

๐งต New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social
We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked
What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective
We call it the digital sphinx

Great talk on the evolution of the vertebrate eye. Glad to have contributed a small part to this work and excited to see it shared with a broader audience.
New Preprint Alert ๐จ: On-Off coding is a latent and intrinsic property of the vertebrate visual circuits!

Check out our new preprint on how retinal inputs are organized in the mouse superior colliculus: we reveal laminar, functionally distinct response types and capture them in a deep โdigital twinโ that predicts responses to new stimuli ๐ง โจ
Preprint, code and model ๐
Very excited to present our work tonight @NeurIPS.
You will find me in the Exhibit Hall C,D,E #2014 4:30 p.m. PST โ 7:30 p.m. PST!

Weโre excited to share ALL-GCL: a large-scale dataset of 2P Caยฒโบ imaging from 80,000+ cells in the mouse retinal ganglion cell layer, collected over 9 years. Includes rich metadata, shared stimuli & cell-type assignments designed for type-specific analyses, modeling, and ML.

We present the All-GCL dataset, a large-scale resource of functional two-photon Ca2+-imaging recordings with rich meta-data information from more than 80,000 cells in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) of ...
