How do individual animals and animal collectives process and evaluate sensory information to give rise to behavior? We are investigating this and much more.

Just wrapped up a week of organizing notes from the @Cajal_Training CompNeuro Course. Learned so much and met inspiring people. Miss you all already! Huge thanks to @BahlLab and the course directors for this incredible opportunity. It will shape my thinking for years to come!

The Konstanz School of Collective behavior was a great success thanks to the fabulous students, excellent lecturers , dedicate tutors and an extremely supportive organizational team at the centre for advanced study of collective behavior. Stay tuned for more details about the 2025 school to come in the next months. @CBehav

Following Katja's exciting talk on the neural basis of visual information integration and decision-making, I'm excited to delve further at #CSHLZebrafish. My poster 108, awaits this evening and will explore the morphology of these visual integrators in the larval zebrafish brain.

Excited to get our research on decision making strategies submitted! Thanks to @EngertLab and our collaborators (@HannaZwaka @BahlLab @paulapflitsch @sterrett_sc @akila29m @alfairhall Mark Fishman) for your efforts! Read our manuscript on decision, attention and performance!
We just uploaded our most recently minted projected to Research Gate. The story started as a collaboration between my lab, that of Armin Bahl’s in Konstanz, Hanna Zwaka’s new lab in Magdeburg, and Mark Fishman’s here at Harvard.

🧠🌱 Enjoyed kicking off our @UniKonstanz @KonstanzNeuro department retreat with a workshop on the principles of behavior! Breaking the ice with thought-provoking discussions on themes like "Behavior is inherently noisy." Looking forward to the rest of the retreat!

We had our first plenary lecture from Armin Bahl @zwitscherarmin @BahlLab who spoke to us about decision making in Zebrafish larvae, using some cool neural and behavioural methods! Neuroscience in the collectives is an exciting topic growing in the field!

Our second speaker at #NeuroDoWo2023 will be Emily Baird! 🐝👁️🐝 As an associate professor at Stockholm University, Dr. Baird studies how the brain uses visual information to guide behaviour across complex environments.
As we get closer to the NeuroDoWo registration deadline, here's a sneak peek into this year's program !👀🧐 Watch this space and if you still haven't registered for #NeuroDoWo2023, don't hesitate! The deadline is now set to 11th March! neurodowo.nwg-info.de/regist…

Our first keynote lecture will be a @CBehav seminar, given to us by our very own @zwitscherarmin. Armin Bahl is a professor of neurobiology at @UniKonstanz, and he studies the brain-wide neural circuits involved in sensory integration and decision-making. 🧐🧠🐟🤓 @BahlLab
