Tyler Sloan earned his B.Sc. and Ph.D. from McGill University. Instead of doing a traditional postdoctoral fellowship, he founded Quorumetrix, a scientific data analysis and visualization studio based in Montréal. He specializes in data visualization and 3D animation, presenting primary research data in an attractive and engaging way while maintaining robust scientific accuracy. His award-winning visualizations have been featured in prominent academic journals and conferences. Sloan embraces a generalist approach and loves the challenge of exploring new data types, and he is particularly passionate about full-dome visualization.

To develop better nervous-system visualizations, we need to think BIG
With a full mouse connectome on the horizon, neuroscience needs to overcome its legacy of minimalism and embrace the contemporary challenge of representing whole-nervous-system connectivity.

What Trump’s psychedelics executive order means for basic neuroscience
The order provides a potential path to remove some psychedelic drugs from the strictest regulatory category, yet it “may not be the breakthrough the basic research community has been looking for,” says neuroscientist Shawn Lockery.

Liset de la Prida explains how neuron subtypes may control the activity of large neural populations, from manifolds to ripples
De la Prida's work analyzing the varieties of sharp wave ripples in the hippocampus led to her discovery that specific types of neurons control the properties of neural manifolds.
