Our brain is constantly looking for patterns. When something unexpected happens, we notice it more in a predictable context, than in an unpredictable environment. Our study identifies how the auditory cortex amplifies responses to unexpected sounds in predictable contexts.

Wonderful end-of-the-year neuroscience training grants retreat. So proud of our own Omer Zeliger presenting on her research on hearing mechanisms in changing acoustic environments and @laurenkreeger.bsky.social presenting exciting new data. The keynote by Jess Cardin was inspiring.
This is what the future of computational neuroscience looks like.

Really enjoyed a fantastic lineup of talks at our annual Graduate Certificate in Computational Neuroscience Symposium. From studying monkey behavior to identifying biomarkers of food-related preoccupied thoughts to optimal color transformation in color blindness. Love the energy!
