ONIX is a data acquisition system for recording neural activity in freely behaving mice. It can accommodate a variety of recording technologies, while maintaining minimal impact on animal behavior. @jvoigts @__jonnew @OpenEphys nature.com/articles/s4159…
📢Excited to share our latest paper!📢 While most studies focused on animals, we explore the link between the eye and brain waste clearance systems in humans.👀🧠 Check it out: van der Thiel, van de Sande et al., in Neurobiology of Disease: doi.org/10.1016/j.nbd.…
Very excited to share this new paper where we explored whether a newly developed EEG cap, the Inknet2, could enable the acquisition of a variety of anatomical and functional MRI sequences! doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…
excited to see the great new science to come out of Dr. Iweka's new lab!
The Iweka Lab (iwekalab.org) is now open in the Pharmacology Department in the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. Please join us to do exciting and awesome research in circadian biology and immunometabolism to study aging and disease!
we've started using this new tool and it's amazing!! preprint now up:
To advance the study of coma & consciousness, we created a @FreeSurferMRI algorithm that automatically identifies brainstem nuclei in MRI scans. preprint:medrxiv.org/content/10.110… code:surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/AANSegm… @olchanyi @JuanEugenioIgl1 @MGHMartinos @MGH_RI @MGH_CNTR @MIT_IMES
Xu and Ribeiro et al. introduce VesselBoost, a toolbox that segments small vessels in magnetic resonance angiography data doi.org/10.52294/001c.… @NandaRibeiro93 @sbollmann_MRI @mallarchkrvrty1 @fMRI_today @OHBM
Please RT: I am looking to hire a research assistant to help recruit, schedule and run human participants in auditory perception experiments at MIT. Preferably full-time, but could be part-time. Ideal for someone looking to get more research experience in advance of grad school.
We are hiring a Professional Specialist for a new NIMH Conte Center for Understanding Latent Cause Inference in Health and Illness shared between Princeton and Rutgers (the job is at Princeton, working directly with me, and is partly a position in my lab). More info: /1
it was so wonderful to see my amazing student Beverly deliver a fantastic thesis defense talk!! Congrats Dr. Setzer!!!
It has been an absolute honor to have worked with Dr. Laura Lewis (@lauradata) as her first PhD student. She is an inspiring, brilliant scientist, and the best mentor I could have asked for. I can't wait to see all of the great work that comes from the Lewis Lab!
POSTDOC alert: We're looking for a postdoctoral scientist to join our lab at Dartmouth! We study the neural basis of perception, memory, and neurodiversity. robertsonlab.com/current-openin… Learn about the brain and live in the mountains! Please share and RT!

A thing we did finally came out @Nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student @SuppAnya, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries. nature.com/articles/s4158…
wonderful opportunity for early career neuroscientists!

By insisting that every brain-behavior association study include hundreds or even thousands of participants, we risk stifling innovation. Smaller studies are essential to test new scanning paradigms. By Emily S. Finn thetransmitter.org/future-of-fmri…
Spike sorting with #Kilosort in #python w/ #pytorch + @pyqtgraph ! >>> pip install kilosort[gui] To learn more, check out the docs (kilosort.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ by Jacob Pennington), or watch the talk (youtube.com/watch?v=LTSmoA… by @marius10p )
The Kilosort4 paper is now published @naturemethods. We put a lot of work into building and properly documenting all things Kilosort (including for older versions). w/ @computingnature #kilosort paper: nature.com/articles/s4159… code: github.com/MouseLand/Kilo…
