Psyched to announce our COSYNE workshop on social behaviors (Mar 17th, Cascais). We have a stellar lineup of speakers on topics from animal cooperation and aggression to the social dynamics of LLM agents.
Co-organized with Libby Zhang (Allen Institute + UW).

We’re looking for a new Research Tech! Our research tech is heading to graduate school (very exciting!), which means we’re recruiting someone new to join our team. The position involves hands-on neuroscience research in a collaborative environment.

Think a 280-character limit is small? CSHL's Ben Cowley (@benjocowley.bsky.social) in collab with @princetonneuro.bsky.social and @cmu-neuroscience.bsky.social, has recreated the visual system of the macaque - amonkey whose brains are closer to humans-using an AI model that fits in an email.
You made it back to Dolan, I assume!
Congrats Brian! Very well deserved.
That’s interesting! Urban ecology is fascinating.
This year's Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication (NMAC) GRC is looking great! Fantastic lineup already. More talks will be selected based on abstracts. Please apply. 👇 #bioacoustics #neuroskyence
This is hilarious!
Very clever use of unnatural playback stimuli to reveal the hierarchical logic of acoustic production in nightingales! Congratulations @danielavallentin.bsky.social and team.
Congrats Abby. Seems like your PhD is going well!
He first encountered the sentiment in his book — What Mad Pursuit. Paraphrasing from memory: “if you work so much, when do you think?”
Adam Kampff prioritized spreading knowledge over publishing flashy papers in prestigious journals, but colleagues say his mark on neuroscience was undeniable. The researcher and educator passed away on 9 December.

Seriously, who comes up with these idiotic tests?
Also, wait, is there anyone who doesn’t put water on toothbrush before paste?
Fantastic! Congrats.
I have had this too! OTOH, it means that they are willing to adapt! 🤷♂️
AGI may arrive soon --- not because machines are getting smarter but because the bar set by humans keeps dropping!
Fantastic! Congratulations to the entire team.
Adam Kampff’s passion for understanding and explaining the world was unmatched. Living by example and not ever compromising on his dreams, Adam was uncanny in making people realize they can learn and understand anything and everything. Keep his dream alive!
In his own words: tinyurl.com/ye29csw3
We are trying to figure out how to do this. Can I email you too? Random scrolling on social media can be useful!
Congrats!
This is tough. Adam Kampff was one of the most brilliant people that I have had the privilege to know. He was a wonderful and generous friend and colleague, a remarkable teacher and a visionary who inspired hundreds of others. He was a shining example to us all, and we will miss him very much.

Thank you for having me on BrainInspired, Paul @braininspired.bsky.social! It was such an honor to be on my favorite show—a rare place where we can leisurely talk about manifolds, latent circuits, power laws, and other esoteric ideas, and still be taken seriously in knowing they are all real.
Thanks Sam for the write up!
Ever see a mouse stand on its hind legs and belt out a song?@xmikezheng20.bsky.social, @cliffscience.bsky.social, and @arkarupbanerjee.bsky.social track this behavior in Alston’s singing mice. See what it might say about the origins of communication. cshl.edu/singing-mice-speak-volumes/
Join us for Fall 2026. In our group, you can run studies from human behavior and neuroimaging, to large-scale NHP ephys, and join them up with a robust computational foundation. Bonus: you can help build the reading list.
Good point and certainly helps! Instead of a linear progression from left to right which is clearly erroneous, now all I see is a gaussian with humans having the highest complexity, which is still erroneous! #EvolutionIsHard

Good luck Aatish on creating your own adventures!
Nice! Just listened to the excellent seminars from the last round.
Love the seminars @braincoustics.bsky.social but often fail to attend them. Do you post recordings on a website to listen later?
