[HTML][HTML] Bonsai: an event-based framework for processing and controlling data streams

G Lopes, N Bonacchi, J Frazão, JP Neto… - Frontiers in …, 2015 - frontiersin.org
The design of modern scientific experiments requires the control and monitoring of many
different data streams. However, the serial execution of programming instructions in a computer …

Spatial maps in piriform cortex during olfactory navigation

C Poo, G Agarwal, N Bonacchi, ZF Mainen - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Odours are a fundamental part of the sensory environment used by animals to guide behaviours
such as foraging and navigation 1 , 2 . Primary olfactory (piriform) cortex is thought to be …

Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making

…, L Acerbi, B Benson, J Benson, D Birman, N Bonacchi… - BioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
The neural representations of prior information about the state of the world are poorly
understood. To investigate this issue, we examined brain-wide Neuropixels recordings and …

[HTML][HTML] Partitioning variability in animal behavioral videos using semi-supervised variational autoencoders

…, EK Buchanan, A Wu, J Zhou, N Bonacchi… - PLoS computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Recent neuroscience studies demonstrate that a deeper understanding of brain function
requires a deeper understanding of behavior. Detailed behavioral measurements are now often …

[HTML][HTML] An olfactory self-test effectively screens for COVID-19

…, G Ernst, M Okamoto, C Poo, N Bonacchi… - Communications …, 2022 - nature.com
Background Key to curtailing the COVID-19 pandemic are wide-scale screening strategies.
An ideal screen is one that would not rely on transporting, distributing, and collecting …

An adversarial collaboration to critically evaluate theories of consciousness

…, A Lepauvre, L Liu, D Richter, Y Vidal, N Bonacchi… - BioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity 1 , 2 . These
theories have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on …

Reproducibility of in-vivo electrophysiological measurements in mice

…, K Banga, J Benson, N Bonacchi… - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Understanding whole-brain-scale electrophysiological recordings will rely on the collective
work of multiple labs. Because two labs recording from the same brain area often reach …

Standardized and reproducible measurement of decision-making in mice

…, D Angelaki, H Bayer, N Bonacchi… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Progress in science requires standardized assays whose results can be readily shared,
compared, and reproduced across laboratories. Reproducibility, however, has been a concern …
