The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them.

Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded.

Thanks! And check out our new review on mixed selectivity, please and thanks.

This paper changed my life: Nancy Padilla-Coreano on learning the value of population coding The 2013 Nature paper by Mattia Rigotti and his colleagues revealed how mixed selectivity neurons—cells that are not selectively tuned to a stimulus—play a key role in cognition.

“I will die on the hill that population coding is the relevant level of encoding information in the brain.” In the latest “This paper changed my life,” Nancy Padilla-Coreano discusses a paper on mixed selectivity neurons.

When @natrevneuro.nature.com asked me to highlight a paper that influenced both my field and my own research, I immediately thought of the work on mixed selectivity by @matrig.net, @stefanofusi.bsky.social, and colleagues.

Y’all are reading this paper in the wrong way.

We love to trash dominant hypothesis, but we need to look for evidence against the manifold hypothesis elsewhere:

This elegant work doesn't show neural dynamics are high D, nor that we should stop using PCA

It’s quite the opposite!

Guess international students can't apply for a postdoc at MIT🙃

ShaReD had its first outing in this motor learning paper, where we used it to extract shared neural components across animals. For the full method + new communication-subspace results, come to my #SfN2025 poster PSTR253.22 (YY21), Mon 1–5pm.

a “Space Force”, if you will

Our next paper on comparing dynamical systems (with special interest to artificial and biological neural networks) is out!! Joint work with @annhuang42.bsky.social , as well as @satpreetsingh.bsky.social , @leokoz8.bsky.social , Ila Fiete, and @kanakarajanphd.bsky.social : arxiv.org/pdf/2510.25943

Best wishes to @bengolub.bsky.social and all other Eigenvalue appreciators

Excited that this work discovering cross-species signatures of stabilizing foot placement control is now out in PNAS!

Appendix A7 most striking graph for me:

let me know how the reze arc holds up

We have an exciting 4-year PhD position available @maastrichtu.bsky.social focusing on intracranial EEG recordings to investigate how hippocampal ripples contribute to human memory processing.

got tired of manually extracting figures from papers and tweaking colors for dark presentation backgrounds, so i built a tool that does it automatically

fig2svg: finds figures in PDFs → extracts as SVG → generates dark mode variants

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. SB 79 has been signed.
