My first piece with @thetransmitter.bsky.social is out! Open data is transforming neuroscience—350+ datasets on
@dandiarchive.org in @nwb.org, new tools like Neurosift enabling discovery and analysis, and researchers all over the world discovering new insights using open data as a key resource!
Mission: record hippocampal place cells in zero gravity
Crew: 3 rats with electrode arrays
Vehicle: Space Shuttle Columbia
Status: data now publicly available on DANDI, 28 years later
The ratstronauts' mission is finally complete. 🐀🚀 h/t NASA

I booked a nice room for the @cosynemeeting.bsky.social workshops in Cascais and now I cannot go but I am unable to cancel the room. If anyone is looking for a room, please email me!
Thrilled to publish this in @thetransmitter.bsky.social - such a thoughtful platform for the conversations neuroscience needs to be having about AI, open science, and the future of our field.
