Cracking consciousness one brain at a time.
Our paper on developing Neuropixels 1.0 NHP for deep recordings in the primate brain is now out in @NatureNeuro.
Neuropixels 1.0 NHP: a 45 mm, high-density silicon probe capable of recording large numbers of neurons with single-neuron resolution from most areas in a macaque’s brain nature.com/articles/s4159…
Interested in helping run a lab to understand visual perception in primates? Tsao lab @UCBerkeley is looking for a new lab manager. Perfect for highly motivated candidates who want to gain deep research experience before grad school. Experience with NHPs is a plus. Please RT🙏
I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…
1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of @doristsao and @UeliRutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
This (Tuesday) afternoon at #sfn2024 ! Come check out @HesseJanis talk about his work on conscious perception in MCP Room S106!4:00 PM - 4:15 PM. NANO32.13 - Dynamics of representations of conscious perception and physical stimulus across inferotemporal, parietal and prefrontal…
Thrilled to share the discovery that face cells rapidly code-switch, within 20 ms, from a tuning optimized for face detection to a completely different tuning optimized for face discrimination. This switch is gated by successful detection of a face and doesn’t happen for objects.
I am beyond excited to share a new paper “Rapid, concerted switching of the neural code in inferotemporal cortex,” led by @Yuelin_Shi and Dasheng Bi. We describe a new form of neural computation in which single neurons rapidly change their tuning to temporally multiplex different…
Nice commentary by Steve Fleming

Thank you, Sarah, that's a perfect one-sentence summary of our current work.
Some slides from @doristsao of one of the most fascinating talks ever at #ASSC26 (Ned Block's words). In my very meager 1 sentence MA-educated twitter summary (I think) she's saying consciousness is a process occurring intermittently between physical visual processing.

Alex and Allyson Grey (@alexgreycosm and @allysongreycosm) are responsible for the most influential and visionary pieces of psychedelic artwork. This week, PsySci had the wonderful opportunity to host them as our speakers.
Happy this is now published in elife: elifesciences.org/articles/74394
Very excited to share a new study led by Francisco Luongo & @attractor_Lu (co-first), w/ Andy Ho, @HesseJanis, @joe_wekselblatt, @FrankLanfranchi & Daniel Huber. We tested the ability of 4 species–mouse, tree shrew, mouse lemur, and macaque–to see the figure below. (1/9)
Grateful to have been a part of this collaboration. The NHP Neuropixels 1.0 probes described in this preprint might well present a little revolution for primate neuroscience, as they allow recordings from over a thousand neurons deep in the primate brain.
I'm excited to announce our preprint for the Neuropixels 1.0-NHP probe. This represents a large-scale collaborative effort to develop high-density electrodes for neural recording in large animal models like nonhuman primates. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
