New paper in @pnas led by @vickey17singh! We present an innovative head-mounted eye-tracking system to study vision in freely-moving NHPs. Results counter key assumptions in the field and opens the door to study the NHP visual brain in the real-world.

Excited to announce Dr. Farran Briggs will join @NatEyeInstitute as Senior Investigator in the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research.
Most recently at @UofR, Briggs brings an impressive record of #optogenetics & functional ultrasound research, charismatic training & mentoring.

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Thrilled to be awarded the @NIHDirector new innovator award (DP2). I'm so excited for all the cool things we'll be working on. As always, thanks to mentors, @RutgersU and my home @RutgersCABM for all the support.
With this, we're hiring! Reach out for postdocs if you're curious

📅 Save-the-date: 22. Oct!
We are excited to welcome Prof. Dr. Parker @CosmouseVision as our next MPLS speaker.
Hosted by @BerkutayMert, the talk will give insights into the neural basis of natural visual 👁️ behaviors in psychiatric conditions🧠
This event is open to everyone!

My department at Rutgers is searching for a new TT Assistant Professor! Focus is on age-related neurodegenerative disorders, but I would encourage any systems/circuit/synaptic/molecular neuro people to apply (no K99 required 😅)

Looking forward to running the next @BonVision_ live coding session!
By popular demand @BonVision_ is back with live coding sessions over zoom. The first of these will be run by @aman_sal on Tuesday, 21 May at 13:30 London time.
Please DM for link to the live session
(future sessions will be in collaboration with @neurogears)

How monkeys 'really' see the world! Wireless eye-tracking in marmosets. Incredible game changing work by @vickey17singh showing the dynamics of active vision in a free-moving primate @JingwenLi18 @judefmitchell biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Thanks #TheBRAINInitiative for funding!

Excited to share our review on natural visual behavior and active sensing by @SkybergRolf at Current Opinion in Neurobiology.
There are a lot of important visual computations that get engaged once an animal is actively interacting with the environment!

We love natural behavior! Our new review highlights recent work from @cris_niell, @bbo_lab & others. Is natural behavioral all we need to understand brains? We say no & hypothesize why training critters can be hard. Pls post your training thoughts below. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In a new study led by Emily Hsiang and @NingShenStella , we uncover parallel pathways for spatial and temporal information of naturalistic stimuli, respectively, in the early visual system. rdcu.be/dz5g7

1/7 First #preprint from my lab just posted! Team effort from the entire lab - think of it as our debut. New behavior to ask how hearing is integrated with free movement of the whole body. Mice surprisingly resilient to #hearingloss, in an unexpected way tiny.cc/biorxiv

Our work using holographic optogenetics to study recurrent activity in visual cortex is out! This work was only possible due to the great collaboration between @AdesnikHillel and @BrentDoiron labs, especially co-firsts @GHandy50 @willyhendricks and myself nature.com/articles/s41593-0…
