How do individual animals and animal collectives process and evaluate sensory information to give rise to behavior? We are investigating this and much more in the beautiful city of Konstanz, Germany.

A huge congratulations to Katja, who defended her PhD last week 🎉 As one of the lab's founding members, she played a pivotal role in shaping the lab from its earliest days, and her hard work, passion, and scientific curiosity have set the bar high. We look forward to her next scientific adventures 🚀
Another memorable Bahl Lab Winter Retreat made even better by having the Vogt and Bollmann labs join us for two days of sun, snow & science! 🌞❄️
it’s offishial ! the end of the year is upon us and what a year it has been. wishing happy holidays to all and a fishtastic new year! 🐟✨
Congratulations to the lab's first PhD student @maxcapelle.bsky.social for defending his PhD last week! Max not only helped shape the lab from day one, but also made outstanding scientific achievements, which have laid the foundation for future research. Wishing him all the best 🥳
Congrats to Philipp and Vincent supervised by our post-doc Margherita for each successfully and fantastically defending their bachelor's thesis today! Wishing them both the best of luck with their future endeavors 🎂🥳
Individual brains, individual algorithms: we extract latent cognitive variables from a DDM fitted on optomotor response behavioral data across fish. After validating the model against 100+ synthetic models, we apply it to experimental data, revealing high inter-fish variability. (2/4)
How do development and genetics shape evidence integration? 🧠 In our new preprint, we dissect how sensory evidence accumulation over time guides decisions.

Huge thanks to @zamakany.bsky.social and our collaborators for their guidance and to our funding agencies for their support, as well as to all colleagues whose feedback shaped this work.🙏 If this resonates with your interests, feel free to share and comment! (4/4)
New paper out: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🥳 Congratulations to our PhD student Katja for her inspiring work just published in Nature Communications on how the larval zebrafish brain processes multiple visual features.

Decision algorithms change over development. Self-reinforcing integration arises abruptly early on. Autism & epilepsy-linked mutations in zebrafish alter these integration dynamics. Our validated DDM fitting reveals how development and single-gene knockouts reshape the cognitive algorithm. (3/4)

How do brains make decisions when faced with multiple, potentially conflicting cues? In our latest preprint, we show how #zebrafish use an additive strategy and process multiple visual features through anatomically distinct parallel pathways tinyurl.com/mvkn8em9 Thread 👇
