Neural activity across cortex is high-dimensional and ... complicated. Still, those fine neural features can be predicted from orofacial behaviors in mice! Great work by Atika Syeda et al in the lab!

Facemap is a data analysis framework for tracking keypoints on mouse faces and relating them to large-scale neural activity. Both of these steps use state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks to achieve high precision and fast processing speeds.
New preprint by Atika Syeda and others in Carsen Stringer’s group. In Carsen’s words:
