What if… spontaneous neural activity 🧠 reflects the baseline rumblings of a brainwide dynamical system initialized for learning? We find that the rumblings have macroscopic properties like those emerging from linear symmetric, critical systems 🧵 #neuroscience #neuroAI www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
#SfN2025 Qingqing is presenting this work on spatial predictive coding NOW at poster Q9!
Does predictive coding work in SPACE or in TIME? Most neuroscientists assume TIME, i.e. neurons predict their future sensory inputs. We show that in visual cortex predictive coding actually works across SPACE, just like the original Rao+Ballard theory #neuroscience

Watching this literal magic tech take shape has been one of my favorite parts of being in this group - a plausible path to real actual naturalistic life-scale experiments.

To study how animals understand the physical world (and the rules that govern its dynamics), @jinyao-y.bsky.social trains rats to play fetch with robots 🐀🤖🎾

To learn more, come to our poster Tuesday morning!

Friends at #SFN25: Want to know more about how seeing is transformed into familiarity? Check out Simon Bohn's poster this afternoon (Board P9; PSTR224.03).

There, he'll tell you about a pardox and its resolution - along with a previously undescribed computation in the medial temporal lobe.

Massive FOMo seeing the posts of people heading to #SfN2025, all that beach...ehm.. science I’m missing 😭

If you’re there, go say hi to the brilliant Bruno Pilcher and the INSS crew, who just built my lab a custom multiphoton microscope with a spatial light modulator that is pure chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋✨
Independent NeuroScience Services INSS was registered as a company on 14th November 2016, which means it's our 9th birthday today! As a birthday present we've treated ourselves to an SfN exhibitor booth for the first time ever. Come and say hello at Booth #3327
