2024
The Cognition and Neural Systems (CNS) Journal Club (nee' BCS Journal Club), also known as PSYCH 6271-101 (6528), meets on Tuesdays from 11:45 40 to 1:00 pm(ish) in Uris Hall 205.Ives 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.
...
To add yourself to the mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu (BCS is the historical name of the journal club) with with the body subject line of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. 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 CNS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. 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.

9 April 2024:
16 April 2024: Chen Yang
- 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.
