The ANDA-NI Retreat has begun, marking the third component of this year's Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics programme. Nicholas A. Del Grosso and I are excited to kick off this closing project week together with a highly international crowd of dedicated participants.
Over the past weeks, participants worked through two online courses covering the mathematical foundations of neural data analysis (ANDA) and data management skills from neuroinformatics (NI). Now comes the part that matters just as much: applying that knowledge to real data, contributed by the participants themselves, and collaborating in small teams to tackle research questions.
Mastering the equations behind a technique is only half the job. The other half is developing an eye for data, learning to read what an analysis is actually telling you, spotting when something doesn't look right, and knowing how to embed and combine analysis methods into workflows that are reproducible and shareable with others. That's the skillset we're aiming to build this week.
Looking forward to an exciting and hands-on week ahead.

🧠 Excited to share our latest research presented at #CNS2025 in beautiful Firenze, Italy!
"Population decoding of visual motion direction in V1 marmoset monkey: effects of uncertainty"
Our work explores how populations of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) of marmoset monkeys encode visual motion direction, with a particular focus on understanding how uncertainty influences this neural decoding process.
Key highlights:- Advanced population-level analysis of V1 neural responses to motion stimuli
- Novel insights into how the brain handles uncertainty in visual motion processing
- Marmoset model providing crucial translational insights for visual neuroscience
This research contributes to our fundamental understanding of how the visual system processes motion information at the earliest stages of cortical processing, with important implications for both basic neuroscience and potential clinical applications.
Thank you to the CNS organizing committee for hosting such an inspiring conference in the stunning venue of Palazzo dei Congressi in Villa Vittoria! 🇮🇹#ComputationalNeuroscience #VisualNeuroscience #MotionProcessing #CNS2025 #Neuroscience #Research #MarmosetModel #V1 #PopulationDecoding
