Geometric constraints on human brain function
The anatomy of the brain necessarily constrains its function, but precisely how remains unclear.
predictions from neural field theory, an established mathematical framework for modelling large-scale brain activity, suggest that the geometry of the brain may represent a more fundamental constraint on dynamics than complex interregional connectivity... [ more ]

A Brain-Wide Map of Neural Activity during Complex Behaviour
Abstract:
... Here, we report a comprehensive set of recordings from 115 mice in 11 labs performing a decision-making task with sensory, motor, and cognitive components, obtained with 547 Neuropixels probe insertions covering 267 brain areas in the left forebrain and midbrain and the right hindbrain and cerebellum. We provide an initial appraisal of this brain-wide map, assessing how neural activity encodes key task variables....

These resources include original and publicly available datasets that were standardised according to the CND data structure, as well as original analysis noscripts and links to publicly available toolboxes for the analysis of continuous-event neural data. Note that each dataset should be used according to its own license and should be referenced as indicated by the authors in their original submission.

The Computational Machinery of Cognition (CMC) Lab (PI: Shervin Safavi), will be established at the Technische Universität Dresden in Fall 2023. We will be building the team in the next few months (starting with openings for Ph.D. students and master students).
Research theme:
We are interested in understanding the computational machinery of cognitive processes (in particular inference and decision processes). We do:
* normative and biophysical modeling of cognitive functions (starting with perceptual decisions);
* testing these models with neural and behavioral data (in collaboration with experimental labs)
* developing methods for multi- and cross-scale analysis of neural data to better capture the neural markers of cognitive processes.
If the research of our lab resonates with yours, and you like to get future announcements (e.g., call for PhD positions). please fill out this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8V5Mu8d-JwZXjs_Ck5toLl0IBg5pTpTrZs4A_QW-71pi13A/viewform?usp=sf_link)
Also, please feel free to get in touch (shervin.safavi@tuebingen.mpg.de) if you like to know more and/or to collaborate. It would also be great if pass it to your colleagues/friends who might be interested.

Hi everyone, following up on my previous message, now I have an opening for a computational neuroscience PhD position in my lab. You can find more details in the CMC lab website (which is still under construction, but probably have some helpful information):
https://shervinsafavi.github.io/cmclab/join/bne_phd_202310/
If you are interested in applying for this position, please follow the instructions in the official call from the university, i.e. upload a cover letter, a brief denoscription of your research interests, and your CV in the university portal.
If you have any questions, please let me know. If you are interested, but cannot meet the deadline, please let me know as soon as possible and we’ll see if we can figure out something.
