New paper out!
Thrilled to share CUSP, a fully automated deep-learning framework for sorting complex spikes from high-density cerebellar recordings.
CUSP is now live on GitHub so the community can use, test, and build on it.

Our SFN symposium review is out!
This fantastic team effort presented a cross-species look at how the brain predicts and attenuates its own self-generated sensory signals during action.

Before this morning’s #SfN25 poster session is done, stop by to learn about PhD student Chenhao Bao’s work to improve detection of complex spikes in Purkinje cells, a crucial challenge in cerebellar high density recordings.

Big thanks to this afternoon’s #SfN25 symposium speakers for illuminating mechanisms of sensory cancellation across species and modalities, and especially to @kkilteni.bsky.social for organizing!

Local coolest lab member @lexcience.bsky.social presented recent work using high-density recordings to investigate self-motion processing in macaque cortex at yesterday’s #SfN25 afternoon poster session

A fantastic round of talks on vestibular prostheses, including work from grad students Oliver Stanley, Olivia Leavitt Brown, and Akshit Chhabra. We still have a few more talks and posters, so look for us in your programs! #sfn @omelbrown.bsky.social @oliwhail.bsky.social @akshitchhabra.bsky.social

Need something to do at 8AM on a Sunday morning? Come see these Cullen Lab members working on vestibular prosthesis projects at the Vestibular & Visual Prostheses Nanosymposium (Room 23A)!

We made it to #SfN2025! Brave the rain and come see Merrill (J6) present on self motion encoding in mouse VN, and Raabeae (J10) present on kinematic features of superior canal diheisence syndrome

Congrats to lab members Chenhao Bao and Merrill Green for winning this week's JHU OneNeuro FotoFriday contest with their illustration of simple and complex spikes recorded simultaneously from a cerebellar Purkinje cell! www.oneneurojhu.org/art/

We are pleased to welcome new grad student Nikita Lebedz! Nikita graduated from the University of Michigan with a major in BME and is interested in sensory & functional amelioration with neuroengineering. In his spare time, he loves to learn, visit museums, write poetry, and explore nature.

Big round of applause to our undergraduate summer researchers, Logan and Nelly, who presented their projects at the CARES Symposium last week. We're so proud of the work they both did, and wish them the best as they head back to a new school year.

Please join us in welcoming summer undergraduate students, Logan Bright and Nelly Musajeva! Logan and Nelly are participating in the Hopkins CARES program for undergraduate research experiences.

We are so happy that @akshitchhabra.bsky.social will be sticking with the Cullen Lab for his PhD! Welcome to the lab, Akshit!

Preprint alert! Mice lacking K+ subunit KV1.8 in vestibular hair cells displayed altered synaptic transmission and impaired vestibulomotor performance, indicating a vital role for these subunits during dynamic, high-frequency movement. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just one week left to submit poster abstracts and support applications for #NCMPan25! We can't wait to see everyone in Panama City!
