When does modular structure emerge in neural networks? What are the consequences of this structure for learning and behavior? New work with @StefanoFusi2 answers these questions and more: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… see 🧵below (1/11)
By analyzing neural activity, we uncovered how relevant task features are abstracted across stages, providing key insights into the neural correlates of CL. We are so excited for the community’s feedback on this project! Lots more on this subject coming up. Stay tuned. 🙌🏽 2/2
Preprint alert! 🚨 Our latest study from the Brain&Sound lab (@tania_barkat) on Curriculum Learning(CL) is now live. We investigated how sequential acquisition of increasingly complex tasks (Easy → Difficult) enhances learning efficiency. 🐁 🧠 1/2
Curriculum Learning: sequential acquisition of task complexity enhances neuronal discriminability biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci
Also, this year’s cohort had a mind-blowing experience of sighting orcas from FHL. This definitely makes it to the workshop’s highlights!
Just got back from the @AllenInstitute ‘s SWDB’24. It was intense, challenging & absolutely worth it! Truly amazed by how much can be uncovered when brilliant minds come together. Cracking the brain’s code was never a solo gig. A big thanks to the incredible organizers & TAs! 🧠
@FlaviaSousaSci @univgroningen Congratulations, Flavia! Wishing you all the best! 😊
@AttardoAlessio Haha, thanks for thinking of me! You’ll be the first to know when I am ready for an upgrade in my career. 😁
Let’s face it, science is tough. So it’s important to join a lab that has an incredibly supportive team AND is stocked with (mostly) top-notch jokes. You’ll find both at the A-lab. I did my masters thesis with Alessio and I can’t recommend working with him enough! 😊
Hello! Are you highly motivated to investigate hippocampal spatial codes using "miniscopes" in mice (how cliché)? Then, join us as a Postdoc 🥼 ! We are a small lab @LIN_Magdeburg with a ton of experience in very hard experiments that rarely work... 👇
@HansolLim1 All the best for the big day! 😊
@zaynanou Thank you very much, Zayna. Sadly, I couldn’t stay until the end of the event but let’s catch up sometime in Basel. Would love to hear your thoughts on the work. I’ll drop you a dm. 😊
A moment from my talk on Curriculum Learning at the Basel Neuroscience Workshop yesterday. Grateful for the opportunity to exchange insights with the dynamic neuroscience community in Basel. Such a great place to brew science!
Excellent new study led by Sebastian Reinartz: primary sensory cortices do not merely relay stimulus information, but contribute to the perception of elapsed time. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
@KiraHoeffler Wishing you a fast recovery, Kira! ❤️🩹
Officially at the halfway mark of my Ph.D. journey. So much learned, so much more to discover. Year 3, I am diving deep(er) into the learning conundrum. Hoping for a year with more eureka moments and less ‘why won’t this code run’! 🧠 #phdlife
Fascinating work @PValerio_ Congratulations! 👏🏽
Happy to share that a study developed during my #PhD has just been published in @ScienceAdvances! We shed a light on how the brain develops an understanding of surprising sounds and how experience can influence such development 🧠👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Recently, the brain & sound lab went for a retreat in the black forest where we discussed fallacies in neuroscience and machine learning tools we could explore in the coming academic year. All this with the backdrop of breathtaking views and knee-deep snow. ❄️ ⛄️ @tania_barkat
ChatGPT use shows that the grant-application system is broken go.nature.com/3rVYO7J
Just concluded a fantastic Ph.D. retreat in the Swiss mountains with the DBM fellows. The intellectual exchange, the stunning landscape and the honour of winning the Golden Pipette award for the best talk all have me feeling reengerized for the exciting challenges ahead🥇🏔️🧬
@HansolLim1 You should definitely, Hansol! I am sure you will enjoy it. 🤩
Presenting our new lab member - a high pitched, sometimes aggressive, face recognizing robot that is oddly attracted towards images of Elon. Never imagined we would be making robots but here we are. Thanks to Neurokit by @Cajal_Training. We had SO much fun building this! 🤖
