  3. Beauty is a tangled web - a web we are all a part of - life on earth is spectacular - we need to collectively embrace and nurture the connections - the mystery - the curiosity #eastcoast #australia #light #shadows #ripples #ocean #beach #rock #pandanas #beams of goodness #photography

  4. Distinctive from every angle. @CTGT and I had the fun of adding this striking coastal goose to our lifer list last weekend.

  5. At the end of the march last weekend there was this nice young (masked) woman offering clementines and at first I said no but then I realized I was thirsty and a clementine would help so I went back and said yes thank you and it was yummy.

  6. Vortex Trapping Of Suspended Sand Grains Over Ripples

    “KEY POINTS
    • Observations of vortex-trapped grains suggest delayed settling of advected grains, as well as delayed advection of grains mobilized from the bed
    • Quantitative comparisons of vortex-trapped sand grains compared well with theoretical formulations by Nielsen (1992, doi.org/10.1142/1269) for a forced vortex
    • Improved understanding of vortex trapping effects on sediment dynamics may decrease uncertainty in large-scale coastal model predictions..."

  7. I find this article by Ferro just out in nature communication rdcu.be/dOzT2 is an interesting intersection between value-based decision-making, embodied cognition/active vision, and memory #reactivation or #reinstatement. Looking is doing some heavy lifting. And lookie there, I didn't even mention the #orbitofrontalcortex recordings they did!

    It caught my eye (sorry) b/c some of the scanpath analysis our lab's done in the past suggests that prior to looking at a remembered, rewarded visual target, there's an uptick in #hippocampal #ripples (Leonard et al., Current Biol 2017), which are thought to signal the underlying reactivation of task-relevant activity patterns. And of course, there's work by a number of groups on memory guidance to rewarding/goal targets, that rely on hippocampal function. Ours based on an MTL amnesic: Yoo, et al., (2020). Long-term memory and hippocampal function support predictive gaze control during goal-directed search. Journal of Vision, doi.org/10.1167/jov.20.5.10 following from Chau et al., 2011, and the changes in scanpaths and pupil responses of aging adults and people with Alzheimer's disease, too: Dragan, M. C.,et al., (2017). Behavioural Brain Research, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2016.09.

    Where we choose to look says so much: see e.g. Kragel/Voss; Castelhano/Henderson, Wynn/Buchsbaum/Olsen/Ryan esp what Jordana Wynn followed up with on the scanpath reinstatements suggests a really intertwined relationship between memory, eye movements, and learning/decisions about goals. (forgive that I'm missing many others and pls add below!)

    TL;DR The foraging decision-making folks and the memory-guided vision folks need to be increasingly up in each other's business.

  8. @elduvelle @LMPrida @biorxivpreprint @cogneurophys I’m stoked that it worked out so well! The assessment followed closely the methods in Navas-Olive CNN paper elifesciences.org/articles/777 using F1 (balanced accuracy) to reflect both precision and recall (i.e. sensitivity). So both FN and FPs count against the score, equally. The human raters were around .7 and the monkey data started at ~.5 and reached ~.6 (same as mouse levels!) after retraining. A pleasant surprise, given visible differences in the SWR phenotype between rodent and primate clades!

    I think Andrea will post more details soon, but meanwhile, some relevant keywords for interested folks (can you think of others we should use?)
