New preprint! tl;dr — We ran around late at night to record wild rats in NYC and figured out how to quantify their behavior and environment. 🧵 w/ Dima Batenkov, @zamakany, @e_mackevicius biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Also, thank you to @eLife for featuring our work with an eLife digest! elifesciences.org/digests/89892/…
Happy holidays, happy new year, happy to reintroduce our gerbil vocal dialect paper! Final version now available in eLife elifesciences.org/articles/89892
We’re proud to announce the launch of AutumnBench, an open-source benchmark developed on our Autumn platform. This benchmark, led by our MARA team, provides a novel platform for evaluating world modeling and causal reasoning in both human and artificial intelligence.
We’re making the @BasisOrg organisation document public today. It’s less a charter and more a design doc—our spec for why a new kind of technology and research organisation is needed, and how to build it. (link below)
🎉 The Anbuhl Lab is hiring! 🎉 We are looking to recruit team members across all levels to explore hearing and hearing loss. Interested? Let’s connect! If you’re attending #ARO2025, I’m here—happy to chat! 👂
Check out the heroic PhD work led by Ellie Hozhabri in the Long Lab, uncovering cell-type-specific inhibitory roles in the HVC circuit during courtship song in zebra finches. So grateful to have been part of to this amazing story! 👇🏼 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
