Adam Kampff (UCL), Goncalo Lopes (UCL) and Tim Schroeder (Donders Centre for Neuroscience, Nijmegen) dropped by and showed their cool new recordings with CMOS probe prototypes! Picture: data blitz at Éleszto ruin pub

The papers in Neuron and Neural Computation by Josh Sanders, Balazs Hangya and Adam Kepecs were featured in the Hungarian news: http://mta.hu/tudomany_hirei/agyunkban-elo-matematikus-felel-a-bizonyossag-erzeseert-106625 http://www.innoteka.hu/cikk/a_bennunk_elo_statisztikus.1377.html

We had the pleasure to host Pedro Garcia da Silva, who assisted us in assembling a new fiber photometry rig!

Balazs gave an interview for the ‘Szertár’ podcast series – in Hungarian.

Balazs was lecturing at the 5th edition of the Transylvanian Neuroscience Summer School.  

Joshua Sanders was visiting us to help assemble open source behavior control systems. In addition, Josh gave an institutional seminar titled “Sanworks: Open systems to connect brain function with behavior”. Abstract of the talk: In the human effort to understand how brain processing produces behavior, the range of behaviors we will need to capture quantitatively…

First spikes, recorded by Kati Sviatkó!

The first Hungarian Neuroscience Doctoral Conference was organized in Budapest, with the active participation of our lab: Kati Sviatkó gave a poster presentation : An open source toolkit for combining neurophysiology and rodent behavior Katalin Sviatkó, Panna Hegedüs, Tamás Laszlovszky, Nicola Solari, Joshua I Sanders, Balázs Hangya Neurons in the brain communicate with action potentials…

We were hosting a Microdrive Building Workshop for students from Hungarian labs as well as visitors from the Hromadka-lab, Bratislava! Students learned about tetrode recordings, silicon probes, optogenetics and 3D printing.
