What's everyone's fave pupil detection algorithm for mice? I have been using the meye repo on GitHub which works wonderfully, but I have a mouse that is kind of squinty and it is not working as well for this animal. The neural data looks beautiful though so I feel undeterred...any recs appreciated 🙏
It's been great working with the

Does anyone have recommendations for a mouse running wheel/treadmill that has an optical encoder (e.g. for doing headfixed ephys and recording locomotion at the same time?)
This week, our neighborhood scientist is Dr. Adam Hockley @adhockley.bsky.social ! In his article, he details the road from basic science to clinical outcomes–and why sometimes it’s not quite as linear as you might think. Read his piece below: neighborhoodscientist.org/posts/2026/o...
I'm excited to share that the Auditory Systems Gordon Research Seminar is accepting abstracts! This year's GRS will be July 18-19 in Easton, MA. The GRS is an amazing opportunity for trainees to share their work and network with other colleagues in the field. Apply here: www.grc.org/auditory-sys...

A day in the life of Brooke Wolford, a statistical geneticist at NTNU (Norway). It's proof that science is both technical and deeply human at the same time. 🧬☕️🐕
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
