I'll be at VSS (https://www.visionsciences.org/) this year presenting about plenoptic (https://plenoptic.org/) at two different events: a symposium about model-optimized stimuli and a hands-on tutorial!
Come by if you'd like to learn how to use plenoptic to generate model-optimized stimuli, such as metamers, for your own research.
See https://neurorse.flatironinstitute.org/events/2025/04/21/plenoptic-vss.html for more details, including how to register.
Applications open now for paid interns at the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Neuroscience for summer 2025. Come work in Manhattan for 11 weeks, housing provided, on open source software with the NeuroRSE group! (Applications close Jan 17, 2025)
Application: https://apply.interfolio.com/159680

The Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Neuroscience will be hosting a workshop this January in Manhattan on how to use our open-source python packages pynapple and nemos to analyze neural data!
Applications close Nov 1, accommodation and meals provided, travel grants available.

Hi neuro friends: next Mon at 12p EST / 9a PST the neuro-rse affinity group of @us_rse will hold our monthly meeting
If you're not familiar with research software engineering (#rseng) it's just what it sounds like -- and you've probably noticed how crucial software is for neuro (and, like, all other fields)
Since we are US-RSE we are a bit US-centric but we just generally want to support anyone working with software for #neuroscience
We'll have lightning talks from Olivier Winter on how the #InternationalBrainLab does data infra and from @adamltyson on @brainglobe
Boosts appreciated; please feel free to reply and I can add ppl to the invite
@jonny @elduvelle @emdupre @patrickmineault etc 🙏

Dear neuroscientist and programmer friends, would anyone like to review a python package for procedural generation of visual stimuli @pyOpenSci with me and @nicholdav ? You are particularly welcome if you have never done an open, generative, post-pub review in the same vein as JOSS, or dont think of yourself as a "software person" but would like to be more involved with FOSS and get some exposure to best practices in packaging, docs, and tests. I will help you out through the whole process, which is actually fun and good and not the burden normal reviews are.
Edit: ofc software ppl are also welcome, I especially welcome ppl who dont think of themselves as being in the software in-crowd bc this is a great way to learn and see how other ppl do things. Subject matter expertise is welcome but not required at all.
Lmk! The tracking issue is here:

And the reviewer guide is here:

I'll be presenting my poster on "Foveated Metamers of the Early Visual System" on Tuesday morning at #VSS2023 . Come stop by if you're interested in seeing how we can use computational to models to investigate how vision changes with eccentricity
This was work started during my internship at Facebook Reality Labs with Gizem Rufo, and finished during my PhD with @winawer and Eero Simoncelli. It's been a long time coming, but I'm proud with how it turned out!
