‼️ It's finally out ‼️
How does our #brain tell apart #approaching objects based on context?
Check out our work where we address how the #SuperiorColliculus discriminate between self- and object-generates #looming stimuli!

‼️How do mice distinguish self-generated vs. object-generated looming stimuli? Our new study combines VR and neural recordings from the superior colliculus (SC) 🧠🐭 to explore this question.
Check out our preprint doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.06.6…
Fun, collaborative effort with.... 🧵
Last 3 days to apply for a postdoc position in our lab!
New job alert!
My lab (saleemlab.com) has a new postdoc / senior postdoc opening. They will be part of an exciting research supported by ERC & UKRI, studying vision during navigation. Projects range from purely computational to performing new physiological recordings.

Huge congrats to @Karyna_mi for her paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/7

ALT This image depicts visual processing in the fruit fly. Light enters the compound eye of the fly, causing hexagonally arranged photoreceptors to send electrical signals through a complex neural network, enabling the fly to detect motion. A team of researchers from HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus and the University of Tübingen used the fruit fly optic lobe connectome to build a detailed deep mechanistic network simulation of the fly visual system.

We convert our setup monitors to synchronize them to the microscopes (2p and WF) they are used with (to reduce contamination light). Peter Buchmann at @FMIscience has made a PCB boards that can be used to convert Dell U2722D monitors.

Delighted to share our paper on task-switching and prediction errors.
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
How does the brain update its current knowledge of the world to guide flexible behaviour? Prediction errors are key! Pls read & share if you find these questions interesting. Thread:
So happy that this paper is finally out! Epic work from @eabhorrocks at @NatureComms
Since the first draft of ... 2 of 3 of the authors had kids (lab should start a daycare 😂) ... been quite a journey.
Excited to share my new paper (with @Aman_sal and @FabioRibRod):
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Interested in:
- neural population dynamics?
- neural correlations?
- sub-second timescale neural encoding?
- state-dependent sensory processing?
🧵and tl;dr👇

Back to the lab for a short stint after 4 weeks in bed!
Still a long way to go but feeling a lot better.
