In case you missed it... here's how we train mice to become experts in a visual spatial attention task (in 17 days!) PLUS new findings: contrast sensitivity improves at relevant spatial locations 👁️🧠 Tons of work from the team (700+ days of data from 36 🐭and 11 👩🔬 👨🔬) led by Kayla Peelman 💪
This paper is the result of >20 yrs of hard work by talented students, postdocs and collaborators, but none more than my co-author Ren Ng and his team in EECS.
