Story time! Single neurons in the brain can’t be depended on for reliable information. Here are some neurons from our recent study, recorded twice in response to the same visual stimuli. Different neurons are active at different times!

Six tips for going public with your lab’s software: nature.com/articles/d4158…
1) make time for maintenance
2) simplify installation
3) add a GUI or good CLI
4) good documentation
5) use github/git
6) automated testing
Any other tips people have?

Do we really need neural networks to predict the activity of ~real~ neurons? Yes, but we can make them a lot simpler, at least in V1 of 🐭+🐒 #minimodels #neuroAI

🚨Preprint‼️
1/ Predicting neural activity is notoriously difficult and requires complicated models. Here we develop simple “minimodels” which explain 70% of neural variance in V1! 🐭🐒 #neuroai @computingnature @marius10p @NunezKant
