Here are mine but I’d like to add some more, particularly science-related:

Thrilled to share our paper "Intrinsic timescales in the visual cortex change with selective attention and reflect spatial connectivity" now out at #NatureCommunications
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-37613-7

We have added interesting new analyses to our preprint version (thanks to the reviewers!),
so here goes a new summary:

Intrinsic timescales in the visual cortex change with selective attention and reflect spatial connectivity - Nature Communications

Not much is known about how intrinsic timescales, which characterize the dynamics of endogenous fluctuations in neural activity, change during cognitive tasks. Here, the authors show that intrinsic timescales of neural activity in the primate visual cortex change during spatial attention. Experimental data were best explained by a network model in which timescales arise from spatially arranged connectivity.

We performed a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies looking at interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) and contextualized the results using diverse public databases to develop new hypotheses on physiological processes potentially involved in INS.

What better way to introduce myself on this Neuromatch server than to announce that my first paper is out on bioRxiv! We used MAPseq to characterize the branching patterns of single macaque amygdala neurons, finding that they often innervate multiple distinct areas in frontal cortex and form dissociable networks.

RT from Manuel Beiran on the blue bird about his new paper on parametric control of low-dimensional manifolds (a joint work with @nicognitive, Srdjan Ostojic, Mehrdad Jazayeri and Hansem Sohn out in Neuron last week).

What neural mechanisms support generalization in temporal tasks? How can neural dynamics be controllable by inputs? Thread reproduced here:

@summerfieldlab Welcome! Good places to start are these hashtags (which can be followed, just like following people): #neuroscience #NeuroNewPaper #NeuroPaperThread ... and so many more. Tags are the way to discover what's going on without following a thousand people.

11) Also, I am on the job market this year, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I could be a good fit for a theoretical/computational faculty position in your department!

10) Thanks for reading until the end. Many more details in the main article and supplementary figures. Thanks for the support from our many funding agencies and to the
Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, and the Zuckerman Brain at Columbia University. Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions!

9) Finally, we fit RNNs to perform an artificial equivalent of the task and found that the geometry of the representations is determined by the difficulty of the task, and RNNs trained on complex tasks can still form representations that can generalize to unseen conditions
