The Cognition and Neural Systems (CNS) Journal Club (nee' BCS Journal Club), also known as PSYCH 6271-101 (6528), meets For Spring Semester 2010-2011, the Behavioral, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience (BCS) Journal Club will meet on Tuesdays from 11:45 40 to 1:00 pm(ish) in Uris Hall 205Ives Hall 107 - NOTE THE NEW ROOM!

Papers and notes from previous semesters can be found in the CNS (BCS) meeting archive.

Presentations in the CNS JC are intended to "show us what you are interested in"; i.e., present work within your subfield that illustrates why it is interesting and broadly applicable.  It is less important to choose papers that you think will be close to every attendees' heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group.  It's good for all of us.  The corollary is that journal club members attend regularly, and don't decide whether to attend in a given week based on what is being presented.  

Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.The overarching theme this semester is Cell assemblies, functional connectivity, and feedback.  Please interpret it broadly. It is intended to include such diverse topics as: cortical microcircuits, the dynamic reconfiguration of neural circuitry, decision making by such circuitry, the interactions between complex circuits and neuromodulatory nuclei (e.g., the basis for specificity in neuromodulatory effects), and the relationship between specific neuromodulators and nominal functions such as "attention" or "arousal".  

To add yourself to the BCS-L mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu  (BCS is the historical name of the journal club) with the body subject line of the message saying simply join.  The subject line doesn't matter.  Sending the message simply join, and the body of the message blank/empty.  Sending the message with a subject line of leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list.   See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details. 

You can enroll in the BCS CNS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit  credit (2 1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar:   PSYCH 6271-102.   The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall. You are welcome to attend without enrolling, of course, but we do appreciate you enrolling if you plan to attend the whole semester and to present.

Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.

  • Hot off the press:  the second Annolid paper (arXiv preprint), focusing on Annolid's new zero-annotation automatic tracking capabilities.  
  • Chen will present the newest developments in the Annolid software package for deep learning-based behavior analysis using instance segmentation.  There are substantial new advances to present, based on new models including Cutie VOS (visual object segmentation) and Meta's Segment Anything that are used for easier object identification and automatic tracking.  Come with your ideas, questions, and research needs.  
  • You also can look at our lab's two Annolid-related posters from SFN 2024 for an introduction:  Chen Yang et al., Ray Fang et al.
  • There are also several Annolid videos posted on Youtube; our MATB playlist is at https://cplab.science/matb.
