I'm excited to share our new #NeurIPS2025 paper with
@jsoldadomagrane @YuLikeNeuro @SmithLabNeuro!
We introduce OMiSO, a new adaptive brain stimulation framework with two technical advancements from our previous work MiSO.

"Robustness of Working Memory to Prefrontal Cortex Microstimulation"
So happy to see this work out as part of the JNeuro Special Collection "Computational Properties of Prefrontal Cortex" doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.21…

🎉There's a new doctor in the world!🎉
A warm congratulations to @dixitsheron, PhD. I'm proud of you! You’ve come so far, and we’re excited to see how far you’ll go. Thanks to @SmithLabNeuro for serving as outside examiner, and to Denis Pare for serving as chair.

I'm excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper with
@jsoldadomagrane @SmithLabNeuro @YuLikeNeuro!
We develop a new brain stimulation framework (MiSO) to drive neural population activity toward specified states.

We are excited to share our new method, SNOPS (Spiking Network Optimization using Population Statistics), published in
@NatComputSci. It was led by @Shenghao_W, with @cc_huang11, Adam Snyder, @SmithLabNeuro, and @BrentDoiron.

Task-driven DNN models nicely predict neural responses but have millions of params---next to impossible to explain. Do they need to be so large?

Now that we @UChicago_Brains just hired 2 faculty in Computational Neuroscience we are addicted to it. We will be hiring 2 more faculty this round in Comp Neuro - one in the Department of Neurobiology and one in the Department of Physics. Please apply! apply.interfolio.com/133134

We’ve posted a new paper on an automatic method to fit large-scale spiking network models to neuronal population recordings:

Welcome to Assistant Prof @BenjoCowley! His lab will study how the brain processes information gathered by the senses, creating computer models to capture the step-by-step calculations across neural circuits. cshl.edu/benjamin-cowley-joi…

Update of potential interest: I'll be starting a comp neuro group at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL in Sept 2022!
Our group will build closed-loop machine learning techniques and interpretable, data-driven models to understand the step-by-step computations of the brain.

@cmuneurosci and CMU Psychology are undertaking a joint tenure-track search (assistant or associate level). Spread the word! apply.interfolio.com/105767

Do the models we use in comp. neuro. really have to be that large?
For V4 neurons, we found compact DNN models that are highly-predictive yet 1000x smaller than current DNN models.
