Our article has been published in Nature Communications! Thank you to the editors, reviewers, and my co-authors @EngelTatiana @anne_churchland for a thoughtful and thorough editorial process. The updated article is available at rdcu.be/c278F

Excited to share our new preprint on how network dynamics and structured connectivity jointly define the spatial and temporal profiles of neural correlations. Work w/ @roxana_zeraati, @SelfOrgAnna, @EngelTatiana: arxiv.org/abs/2207.07930 Here is a #tweeprint:

Excited to share our bioRxiv preprint with @EngelTatiana. Cortical neurons show mixed selectivity for multiple task variables. We develop a latent circuit model for inferring interpretable circuit mechanisms from heterogeneous neural responses. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's our 5 month anniversary @dgsomucla! Been a wild & busy time. We got all the setups running; biggest problem is optimizing data management workflows (bless rclone). Movie w/ triple labelling to target inhib neurons by @jpatrickroach & @joaoaocouto w/our new @neurolabware 2p!!

Excited to share our arXiv preprint with @owenkhughes and @EngelTatiana. We develop a framework for inferring non-stationary Langevin dynamics from stochastic observations and test it on spike data generated from decision-making models. Link: arxiv.org/abs/2012.14944

Can we trust interpretation of machine-learning models that are good at predicting data? Our preprint on @biorxiv_neursci shows that good data prediction and accurate interpretation of the model are not the same. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I want to hire a #postdoc in the coming months! If you are interested in joining a fantastic and collaborative team to explore the neural circuitry underlying individual differences in motivated behaviors, contact me ([email protected]). More info: flagel.lab.medicine.umich.edu/join.html Pls RT!

My latest paper is now available online! Check it out. Resonance with subthreshold oscillatory drive organizes activity and optimizes learning in neural networks pnas.org/content/early/…

@ryangrim: This bill gets talked about as a $1.5 trillion tax cut. It’s not. It is a $6 trillion tax cut for some people paid for by a $4.5 trillion tax hike on other people. That makes it the biggest tax hike in American history. bit.ly/2BC9IAL #TaxScam
