Today @eLife has reached 1,000 manuscript submissions using the new model, Reviewed Preprints https://elifesciences.org/about/peer-review

See all published Reviewed Preprints https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints

Within themes, #eLife makes no distinction between old-style articles (where editors decided whether a manuscript is accepted) and reviewed preprints (where authors decide instead). Keep in mind both have the reviews attached, including as of recently a brief assessment paragraph summarizing, with a controlled vocabulary, the significance of findings and, more importantly, the strength of evidence.

"An analysis of about 450,000 electronic health records has found a link between infections from influenza and other common viruses and an elevated risk of having a neurodegenerative condition such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease later in life."

Fascinating! But a question for those in rodent #neuroscience work: would there be any advantage to this #VR headset over the traditional approach, with the rodent surrounded by displays or projector screens driven by a game engine running on a PC?


Mice explore virtual worlds with a #RaspberryPi -powered VR headset running Godot #videogame engine.

They're helping a team from the Schaffer-Nishimura Lab at Cornell University with their #neuroscience and behaviour #research.

Thank you CatalystNeuro + authors for implementing, and
Simons Foundation Global Brain for supporting this effort!

Data is open for everyone to use. We are also happy to actively collaborate!


A post-migration re-#introduction!

I’m currently a postdoc in Marlene Behrmann’s lab at Carnegie Mellon. I’m broadly interested in understanding the #psychology and #neuroscience underlying the #development of cognitive abilities such as categorization.

Recently I’ve been exploring the broader biological network that may support may object categorization (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2022.09.019) and the #computational processes that may support few-shot categorization in infancy (e.g., https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.74943)


I just made an new Mastodon instance focused on #neuroscience at https://synapse.cafe . I'd like this to be a cozy space to discuss the wonders of the brain, from cells to thoughts. If you do research in neuroscience or even have a general interest in it, come by and check it out!

#Introduction to "1-paper-a-day 2022"
After countless conversations that I read too little, I decided to read 1 paper on every workday of 2022 and point to them on SocMedia.

Papers are in the general area of #cognitive + #sensorimotor #neuroscience, including meta-stuff such as #OpenScience.

List of papers so far with links to tweets - toots from now on…

I'm at #133 – doesn’t mean I had lots of vacation but rather that sticking to the plan hasn't been easy ;)


#introduction

Hi all,
I am a Group Leader at HHMI Janelia Research Campus, working on the systems #neuroscience of flexible behavior and #learning, #brain-body communication, #microscopy, #computation, #astrocytes, and large #networks.

We enjoy collaborating, including with computational neuroscientists who want to take a look at whole-brain neuron + behavior data! Get in touch 😀
