This paper introduces a wearable backpack for collecting multi-modal data in urban environments to improve ecological validity in mental health research.

Aeon enables long-term study of ethological behaviours in mice with simultaneous brain activity recording and provides a unified data format for analysis.

This study shows mice can distinguish odour sources at different distances by analyzing rapid temporal features of odour plumes, with neural responses correlating more strongly with high-frequency plume features than mean concentration.

This study shows that mouse olfactory bulb projection neurons encode temporal odour frequency features up to 20 Hz, with coupling influenced by circuit properties.

This study shows that acetylcholine dynamics in sensory cortex are driven by goal-directed motor actions rather than sensory cues or rewards during task learning.

This paper describes an automated homecage system for training mice in multiwhisker discrimination learning using air current stimulation and water reward, showing rapid learning and performance improvements.

The paper demonstrates that mammals can perceive temporal structure in odour stimuli at fast timescales, using a novel odour delivery system and behavioural experiments with mice.

The paper introduces an automated system for high-throughput operant conditioning in mice and uses it to study the effects of olfactory bulb lesions on behavior.

The paper predicts primary somatosensory neuron activity during active whisker exploration in mice using rotational forces rather than kinematics.
