I have a question about the future of metrics for hiring and promoting faculty in science. Academic journal articles have been our currency for a long time, but are under extreme & mounting pressure. Is any dept or field already using a better metric *for hiring and promoting faculty*?

Excited to share my PhD paper! In it, we use targeted 2-photon optogenetic stimulation to determine how V1 activity is read-out in a detection task. We found that network influence, not visual coding properties, predicted the impact of ensembles on behavior - contradicting our expectations (1/5).

"pattern completion circuits in lower cortical areas may reinforce activity patterns that match prior expectations..." Yes. That's active filtering. Sensory cortical recurrent networks learn the structure of the sensory world. New paper from Shin, Adesnik et al. 🧠🤖🧪
