🔮Ever wished you could just say what behavioral analysis you wanted? ... "Plot the animal's trajectory" "Count the head hips in the open arm" 👀🪄we present AmadeusGPT🎻 to do this ... 🗞@shaokaiyeah @jessy_lauer @zhoumu53 @TrackingPlumes and me arxiv.org/abs/2307.04858 🧵⬇️

📣Part 1 of our quest to better understand the brain was @DeepLabCut. 🔥🦓Now Part 2: Introducing #CEBRA to jointly model neural dynamics & behavior with self-supervised learning. Hypothesis- or data-driven, highly consistent, decodable neural latents arxiv.org/abs/2204.00673 🧵👇

How does sensorimotor (S1/M1) cortex support adaptive motor control? Come find out in our latest preprint, which spans the development of a full adult forelimb model + physics simulations, neural-modeling for control, complex 🐭behavior 🕹️, large-scale imaging, and of course

So many new labs starting this fall👏✨ #newPI pro tip: whatever time, money, and effort you invest in solid data management pipelines and git controlled code is worth it. When I started 5 years ago (today), it was a priority and it’s so, so worth it. #BetterCodeBetterResearch

I've been noticing more and more that people are using DeepLabCut sub-optimally: don't train a network per animal. 20 individuals w/10 images per individual is MUCH better than 200 frames from 1 video! You will not get robust networks this way. [Just my advice to the void.]

we know a lot about the brain, and we have a lot to learn. I promise @elonmusk , you are going to want people who know how to do neuroscience with the engineering tools you build ;) ( okay #neuroscitwitter now he's p*ed me off ... )

Replying to @elonmusk
A prior track record of exceptional achievement in engineering *is* required, but *no* prior experience working on the brain or human physiology is required. We will teach you what’s known about the brain, which is not much tbh.
