Theoretical neuroscientist interested in brain-body interactions and evolution of adaptive behavior. Associate Professor at Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.

New preprint led by @rgast.bsky.social- part 1 of Richard's ongoing effort to make a better firing rate model: developing mean-field models that can be fit to biological data to capture both the dynamics of neural populations and the underlying physiological heterogeneity that sculpt those dynamics.

The Ott-Antonsen ansatz revolutionized our understanding of coupled oscillator systems with heterogeneous oscillators. We developed a multi-ensemble method that increases the applicability of the OA ansatz to empirical data substantially arxiv.org/abs/2607.09516, as we demonstrate on neural data.

Happy Monday! Come learn how jellyfish swim. In a review led by fluid dynamics maestro Alex Hoover, we outline how neuromechanical modeling will help us understand how modulation of neural activity allows jellyfish to jet and pirouette through fluids www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Freeman Dyson writes about having Hans Bethe as a thesis advisor. Uncovering the nature of the universe is impressive and all, but being the platonic ideal of a mentor on top of that? Good lord

This is an extremely cool finding by our neighbors in the Ye lab: learning reduces the glucose consumption of neurons, even without changes in firing rates. Really want to try to model this!

Our new preprint is out!! The human brain runs on ~20 watts. Computers and modern AI systems require vastly higher energy. This gap raises a fundamental question: how does the brain compute so efficiently? In our new study, we take a critical step toward measuring and understanding this directly 1/3

Cajal Behavior summer course presentation day! After 5 days of hard work, we'll see data from student-designed projects on grooming and freezing flies, RL-learning and foraging robots, human VR exploration, and closed-loop loom escape in fish. An amazing group :)

Braitenberg Vehicle day with Hugo Marques at QABVR: wire light, touch, and distance sensors to a pair of motors, then tune the sensor gains and motor outputs to play follow the leader

In Montreal for ICMNS! Come hear me talk about neuronal heterogeneity on Friday. www.crmath.ca/en/activitie...

Scientists discover birds basically just loud smelly magnets

Cristian Gutierrez-Ibañez

Proposed structures/ mechanisms for magnetic sensing in bird (so far): 1) In the beak/ trigeminal Nerve (biogenic magnetite) 2) radical pair-Cryptochrome mediated reaction in the retina 3) The lagena 4) Vestibular canals (electromagnetic induction) 5) Supermagnetic macrophages in the liver.

Hello free day in Cambridge! Of course I had to go see the glass flowers

Beautiful calcium imaging of white blood cells stretching and swarming in response to a sample of yeast. Along with yeast-contact-mediated Ca influx, the physical stretching of the nucleus is a required step in producing the signaling molecule (arachidonic acid) that triggers the swarm!

What if you got to work with some of your best friends on a science project? I can't publish how fun this was, but I can show you the data (🧵)! Last week, we posted our second neutrophil swarming paper to bioRxiv and I wanted to post my favorite videos here~ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Technically it's really more of an approximate lime attractor

Also: I'm going to be interviewing candidates for this Research Programmer position over the next three weeks. If you have experience with ML pipelines and want to contribute to some very cool joint neural/behavioral analysis projects, consider applying! recruiting2.ultipro.com/SCR1003TSRI/...
