I’ve been receiving some good news lately and will be hiring at all levels to expand the lab. Please get in contact if you are interested in reinforcement learning, neural plasticity, neural circuit dynamics, and/or hearing rehabilitation.

I'm really proud of my two graduate students, Hyein and Hayagreev, for getting this challenging and exciting project across the finish line. We reveal the state-dependent logic that underlies callosal signaling between the somatosensory cortices. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🚨 Paper alert! What if you could eavesdrop on a neuron's electrical dynamics without ever breaking in? Our new study uses DNA origami tiles that self-insert into live neuronal membranes, even dendrites, to form stable ion channels. In fact, even repeated intracellular access from the same cell 🧬⚡
Hi friends, If you haven't seen it already, I was part of a mess this week — about science in the United States, and about NIH research aimed at understanding things like Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, and depression.

Across the neural hierarchy, sensory maps are thought to transition from a faithful representation of receptor space to a map weighted by learned associations. Where does this transformation occur? In our latest paper, we explore a value-based spatial transformation between cortex and midbrain.
Happy to have contributed a chapter to this book and excellent resource!
1/3) This may be a very important paper, it suggests that there are no prediction error encoding neurons in sensory areas of cortex:

I personally am a big fan of the idea that cortical regions (allo and neo) are doing sequence prediction.
But...

Looking forward to hearing about new traveling wave work next week from @kjayant.bsky.social
Stellar lineup at Barrels this year... please register soon!!

I'm hiring a full-time research technician to work in my lab at Nathan Kline. Benefits included! Some lab experience preferred... experience with mouse surgeries a huge plus. If you live in NYC, there are two daily shuttles that take ≈20 min from upper manhattan. nki.applicantpro.com/jobs/3663631
