@creative-sushi.bsky.social can you please help me get this into the right #MATLAB places? I haven't posted on Bluesky in a while, unfortunately.

Funding Call Now Open!
If your science addresses industry-specific challenges, MathWorks invites you to submit for the Spring 2026 open call. Selected proposals may receive up to $20,000 (USD) in funding. 🧪

Hi, I'm Alexis. 🧠 I'm a neurophysiologist by training and mostly post Neuroscience, but also lead a team of science SMEs at MathWorks supporting other Biological sciences, Chemistry, Geoscience, Mathematics and Physics.
I'm also a proud pre-scientist pen pal and recommend it!

If you're planning a study, search DANDI or OpenNeuro first to see if relevant data already exists. If you're teaching, incorporate open datasets into your curriculum, writes @bendichter.com

Symbolic ‘science fair’ showcases research cut by Trump team Democrats hosted a protest event featuring ‘things we’ll never know’ because of the US government’s cuts to science.

A different way to protest.

Researchers presented posters on how their terminated projects would have benefitted society.

Many of the scientists presenting were a few years into their projects before their funding was cut — wasting money already spent.

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

You know you hang with a certain age group when "Kragle" and "Pass the Parcel with Lucky's Dad's rules" come up in conversation and nobody misses a beat.

Happy 3/21 to those who celebrate 🤗

Is Waze smart enough that we could ask for a button to say, "I'm stuck behind a vehicle going X mph slower than I want to. Based on the route I'm on, what's a route, even if it's longer by distance, that can help me make up time?"

Nice intro to *wave* toolbox, but can't find Lyle Muller on here yet.

Does Santa count? Maybe I could learn a thing or two about project management...

Only a bit delayed to say, welcome!
I learned #Psychtoolbox and used it for an auditory psychophysics experiment back in 2008, then caught up to the latest at #VSS2024. Such a key #MATLAB tool for #Neuroskyence

This cover captured all my attention while I was reading a #ScienceAdvances paper online today. Beautiful.

Hi, Vox reporter here: If you've had a study section, NIH travel, or other NIH-related meeting cancelled (or not), raise your hand! Reply or DM me, and repost for visibility if you're able.

Question for people going from intan based ephys to neuropixels. Do you have an alternative for the accelerometer from the intan headstage? That was a nice feature that is missing on freely moving neuropixels recordings 🧠📈

Some favorite practical summer courses are the ARTCs at the MBL in Woods Hole, MA. I anticipate visiting a few this year to talk #Neuroskyence, sharing #openscience data stories, and using #MATLAB.

Got some new socks this week 💪🏻

New paper out! 🚨 📰 With @batuhanerkat.bsky.social, John McClure, @hussainyk1.bsky.social, @polacklab.bsky.social we reveal how discretized representations in V1 predict suboptimal orientation discrimination. 🧪🧠🐭 This work reconciles neuro and psychometric curves

Self-reflection: I'm particularly bad about changing over the year when I write the date sitting the first couple weeks of January. Consistently.

I am hosting an event where University of Arizona scientists will speak about their science in Spanish. It is meant to be a community event with a Zoom option, so share with family too!

The wonders of population coding! Recent paper by @juliencorbo.bsky.social et al. @polacklab.bsky.social -> visual cortex in trained mice encodes orientation differently from in naive mice... almost more "messily"(?)... but behavior is good. #neuroskyence #matlab 🧪 🧠

It takes a few rounds to figure out what makes sense to quantify and then try to predict. What helps me is thinking about doing an activity (e.g. running a WB) for a reason... because it has an expected *outcome*, not just doing it for the sake of doing it. That *outcome* points to the larger goal.

A hardy and hale "huzzah!" to Emery N. Brown on receiving the National Medal of Science! It’s the nation’s highest honor for scientists and engineers.
