New preprint with @jmgrohneuro and more! Neurons in several visual areas show fluctuating responses in the presence of multiple objects. An important general finding with potential connections to object formation!

Time for a belated #introduction! I'm part of the great #NeuroMigration -- currently a #postdoc studying #memory and #genetics in #Drosophila in the lab of Amita Sehgal at #UPenn. Until recently I was a graduate student with Michael Granato studying #decision-making and #circuit neuroscience in #zebrafish. Would love to talk lab with fellow #neuroscience afficionados and swap #boardgame recs with fellow nerds.
Happening now! Come visit me at poster board AA14 until 5pm to learn about #auditory #visual #multisensory #neuroscience !

Interested in #multisensory #auditory #visual #neuroscience and attending #SfN22 #SfN2022 today? Come visit me at my poster this afternoon at board AA14! Or check out a preview online (385.08)!
“Visual cues bias single-trial responses in the macaque inferior colliculus to favor a visually-paired sound”

A fascinating phenomenon related to building a local online culture like mastoson: I lead a guild in #WorldOfWarcraft and sometimes to fill your group appropriately you need to open your parties/raids to random people across the world. WoW can be an incredibly toxic place (you would be surprised what grown adults act like behind a cute elf avatar), but my guild exists solely to counter that. I set things up so that before people are let into the Discord (for coordination on boss fights) they have to pause, read, and agree to a simple rule, rule #1: don't be an asshole. (Or else Britt will kick you out immediately).There are other rules, but that is the most important one.
At first I thought it wouldn't do anything to temper the toxicity, but it really has largely prevented people from behaving badly! Over the past year we've cultivated a group that is diverse and, more importantly, feels safe hanging out in our little chunk of this video game. People stick around and they consistently come back. Our guild has far more women and LGBTQIA+ people feeling safe to use voice chat than I've ever seen in WoW.
I think this clearly established community standard is present in many mastodon servers and I think it too will prevent many people from behaving badly. I'm very hopeful about this place even though I don't know quite how to use it yet!
