Find me #in_the_future here. Its time for #NeuroscienceMigration #neurodon
Looking forward to continuing to interact with #neurotwitter on all things #CompNeuro #NeuroAI in a distributed manner beyond the reach of a billionaire's whim. -
It's #FollowFriday, so let's share a thing that we are proud of doing this year!
For myself: I'm proud that I attended #SfN22 and presented my early research in-person. I've wanted to go to Society for Neuroscience since I was an undergraduate but never had the opportunity since I worked all through college to stay afloat.
I just joined my lab earlier this year and still managed to have something to talk about and contribute to science. I also had a new chronic illness kick in late this summer, so navigating the extra fatigue, pain, and symptoms was something I was unsure about. Wrapping IcyHot around my legs, taking meds, resting and accepting my physical limits without collapsing or falling into posterboards was a major plus. There is so much more I wanted to see, but I hope next year I will be able to catch up and make up the difference.
It helps tremendously to have a lab that always has your back!
What are you proud of this year, #Academic / #Science mastodon?

🚨#Tenure-Track Behavioral #Neuroscience Position Alert!🚨
McGill University is searching for candidates! This is a great opportunity to be with amazing colleagues, live in an vibrant city, and become a Montreal-style bagel convert! #NeuroJobs #URMinSTEM #NeuroMastodon #NeuroscienceMigration -
I think I’m due for an #introduction! I’m an MD/PhD student at #uOttawa, doing my PhD in #neuroscience with Jean-Claude Béïque and Richard Naud. My work explores how uncertainty in reward feedback is processed in #prefrontal cortex, mainly in the context of #autism.
To do this, I use #behavior tasks in mice along with simultaneous in vivo two-photon calcium imaging. I also model #learning and #DecisionMaking using #ReinforcementLearning #RL.
Some of my other interests include patch clamp #ephys, post #stroke #synapse remodeling, #serotonin, #psychedelics and #consciousness.
Follow if you want to join me in finding and sharing interesting papers and ideas!

A fascinating phenomenon related to building a local online culture like mastoson: I lead a guild in #WorldOfWarcraft and sometimes to fill your group appropriately you need to open your parties/raids to random people across the world. WoW can be an incredibly toxic place (you would be surprised what grown adults act like behind a cute elf avatar), but my guild exists solely to counter that. I set things up so that before people are let into the Discord (for coordination on boss fights) they have to pause, read, and agree to a simple rule, rule #1: don't be an asshole. (Or else Britt will kick you out immediately).There are other rules, but that is the most important one.
At first I thought it wouldn't do anything to temper the toxicity, but it really has largely prevented people from behaving badly! Over the past year we've cultivated a group that is diverse and, more importantly, feels safe hanging out in our little chunk of this video game. People stick around and they consistently come back. Our guild has far more women and LGBTQIA+ people feeling safe to use voice chat than I've ever seen in WoW.
I think this clearly established community standard is present in many mastodon servers and I think it too will prevent many people from behaving badly. I'm very hopeful about this place even though I don't know quite how to use it yet!

Hello 👋 I model human intelligence and underlying brain mechanisms using artificial neural networks. Focusing on vision and language. Incoming prof at EPFL, currently research scientist at MIT, looking to connect with people in #compneuro #neuroscience #NeuroAI #DeepLearninig #MachineLearming #vision #languageprocessing #NeuroscienceMigration #introduction

Here is my #introduction. I'm Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University. I study the neural basis of cognitive function, cognitive development and plasticity. Most recently I have used deep brain stimulation targeting the cholinergic forebrain as a means of improving cognitive function.
