@omarschall.bsky.socialHi all, I'm happy to announce that I have started at the University of Oregon as an assistant professor! My group will use computational methods to study learning and synaptic plasticity. I will be hiring grad students this year--please reach out if you're interested! colinbre@uoregon.edu
Show PostHappy to share our latest work on how interactions between brain regions can shape a region’s response to local perturbations, with implications for inferring its operating regime! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostI’m happy to share the main contribution of my PhD thesis, advised by the great @cpehlevan! In short, we argue that microzones of the cerebellar cortex implement a stochastic ensemble learning algorithm: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... See thread below for an overview! (1/n, n=20)
Show PostThis September, I will join the @flatironinstitute.org Center for Computational Neuroscience as a Group Leader, where I will launch the High-Dimensional Dynamics & Computation Group. Information for postdocs and grad students is forthcoming. I am grateful to my mentors who made this possible!
Show PostOut today on @nature.com! Connecting neural specialization, population geometry, and their functional implications across the cortical hierarchy. So grateful for this beautiful and fun collaboration with @shuqiw.bsky.social, S Muscinelli, L Paninski, and @stefanofusi.bsky.social!
