No, it's definitely not, despite in 2004, COSYNE was founded to be separated from NIPS, there's a lot of ongoing research on both ends, making independent and intertwined contributions to other one.

Well it’s been quite a year 🫠 but I’m happy and tremendously grateful to close it out on a personal science high-note - Ill be going to my first ever Cosyne, and I officially received the NOA for my K99/R00 from NIDCD 🙏 thank you Santa ie hardworking NIH staff for the best possible holiday gift 🥹

For the 20th consecutive year, Cosyne reviewers have failed. Not a single comparison to Einstein or Newton in the reviews. Not even Darwin.
Can’t wait for Cosyne to continue the tradition of returning reviews on Christmas Eve. Nothing jollier than the anger of a Cosyne reviewer with your mince pie.

Amazing work from the CoSyne Therapeutics team led by Liisi Laaniste and Louwai Muhammed showing that through stratification therapies that are already approved can be put swiftly into action to improve the lives of those with brain tumors today. More to come!

Great work, seen preliminary versions (CCN or COSYNE). Seems like the low d representations paradigm may be a convenient oversimplification (albeit a productive one), and it’s important to recognize where and how it hits its limits. That said,

There may or may not be a workshop at COSYNE examining “from cell types to spike trains” organized by someone in NHP optotagging/identification and someone from the Allen leading their ephys. Hypothetically, they’d probably love to hear your ideas if you’re there!

I might be misremembering, but I think the ideas were known a few years before the 2017 preprint because of their 2014 COSYNE presentation.

Me too. I agree with you-- lower enthusiasm for a big conference.
Maybe stronger smaller conferences chip away at it too (e.g., cosyne, GRCs, great meetings in EU).
I'm not a huge fan of the way the non-scientific SfN leadership runs the meetings. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

I felt like FENS had an untapped capacity for many years but they really got their act together over the past decade.
Also... N Americans travel to Europe for meetings but less so vice versa. See well-known bumps in NeurIPS and COSYNE numbers in years they run in Europe.

I'd love to hear why but that will require some face time i believe. Cosyne? 🤞
