I may be biased, but i feel like there were a lot of interesting results coming from new research in mixed selectivity / population coding / manifolds

Maybe useful when you TA another comp neuro class👨🚀
@arula-ratnakar.bsky.social
Did you see the ratstronaut dataset that was recently uploaded to dandi?
like in dark souls the best defense for your quals is a good offense

Nice new preprint from Giocomo and Ganguli — using Gaussian processes to look at grid cell tuning in 4D (position × velocity). Turns out position and velocity coding aren't separable in some cells. Makes you wonder how much we miss by always analysing one variable at a time

we finally entered it when mewgenics came out
Have you ever wondered what you would find if you could keep your eyes on a bee for more than a few meters? Us, too!

The major European postdoctoral fellowship, the MSCA, had around 17k applications this year—up from 10k last year, thanks to the evisceration of science funding in the US.
Only 1610 people received support.
This is what brain drain sounds like
Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"
Congrats!
Good that they gave everyone 50$ free credit

New paper out at PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Revisiting the high-dimensional geometry of population responses in the visual cortex with @jpillowtime.bsky.social. The review took forever because a reviewer was doubtful our new estimator can infer eigenvalues beyond the rank of the data! (1/6)

happy to send anyone my proposal from last year if they dm/email me!
i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about
The geometry of context-dependent biased decisions during learning https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.14.699497v1

As we head into the new year, a reminder that if you're recruiting or looking for a job in Neuroscience (or adjacent) add #NeuroJobs to your post to appear on the NeuroJobs feed.

Bichan Wu (@bichanw.bsky.social) & I wrote a tutorial paper on Reduced Rank Regression (RRR) — the statistical method underlying "communication subspaces" from Semedo et al 2019 — aimed at neuroscientists.
