Computational Neuroscience PhD student in Barcelona. Working on Data Analysis of behavior and neural recordings and computational modeling of interhemispheric working memory
UPDATE: It's happening now. German police entered the new venue to break up our meeting with Francesca Albanese and Amnesty International. The miss no chance to prove that totalitarianism is back in Germany even before the AfD has won gvt

I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉
The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)
Fresh out: a short review article where I give an overview of different ways that across-trial temporal structure is helpful in understanding cognitive models of decision-making

Thanks to the yield of U arrays, we were able for the 1st time AFAIK to average across neurons (not trials) and see memory bumps on single trials. Look at this 😍
Not the focus of the work but it taps into an open debate on the neural mech. of WM cf @cconstan.bsky.social @earlkmiller.bsky.social
This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Mit ihrem Verhalten im Bundestag hat die Union einen demokratischen Tabubruch begangen, meint Max Bauer.
🚨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🚨 with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible.
We show that 🐒prefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/🧵
#Wisskomm auf dem Wahlzettel? Wir haben die Parteien gefragt, welche Maßnahmen sie planen. Die Antworten zeigen unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte - von der langfristigen Finanzierung bis zur Anerkennung als Karrierebaustein.
