Jennifer Sun of the California Institute of Technology described her team’s paper “BKinD-3D: Self-supervised 3D keypoint discovery from multi-view videos,” posted 6 May on arXiv.
All animals behave in 3D – we discover 3D poses directly from multi-view videos without requiring annotations.
Essentially videos -> 3D keypoints + connections
We will be @CVPR on June 21!

Hemal Naik of the Max Planck Institute replied to Sun’s tweet.
It’s very cool work, @AlexHHChan we should try this on our dataset.

Ann Kennedy of Northwestern University also weighed in on Sun’s work.
Check out @JenJSun et al.’s awesome work on unsupervised 3D pose estimation! Extract 3D pose keypoints + connections from your videos with no manual annotations. https://t.co/mMqyZY14V0

MIT Press announced the launch of the new journal Imaging Neuroscience, which Spectrum wrote about last month.
In a significant move, the former editorial teams of Neuroimage and Neuroimage: Reports will lead the new MIT Press journal, delivering on the promise to lower APC fees.@ImagingNeurosci #OpenAccess #OA #Neuroscience https://t.co/zmaJuqGvfd pic.twitter.com/RJ4iDY8kA9

Til Ole Bergmann of Johannes Gutenberg University, Sean Fallon of the University of Plymouth and Awais Aftab of Case Western Reserve University responded to the announcement.
Imaging Neuroscience has a provisional submission platform at https://t.co/AtKFAwPtjh, which is now open for new submissions! ????
Initial APCs are $1,600 (instead of $3,450) with waivers for low and middle income countries. Sponors are sought to further reduce APCs in the future. https://t.co/vcolT53tWk

It’s called a revolution because that’s what it is, a full turn of the wheel, a change so extreme that everything stays the same… https://t.co/hOPfy0qQts

Feels like an opportunity to do something radical was lost here.
“… article processing charge of $1,600 with waivers for low and middle income countries…”
Ok, this is better than Elsevier, but shouldn’t we have more transparency around why exactly does this cost $1600? https://t.co/2dj8WHshrE

Tarika Vijayaraghavan of Monash University detailed her paper “The dynamin GTPase mediates regenerative axonal fusion in Caenorhabditis elegans by regulating fusogen levels,” published 9 May in PNAS Nexus.
Armin Raznahan of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health tweeted a link to the paper “Quality control and analytic best practices for testing genetic models of sex differences in large populations,” published 11 May in Cell.

Ana Carolina Castro of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto described a poster titled “HCN channelopathy in a SHANK3 mouse model of ASD,” which she presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies regional meeting earlier this month in Algarve, Portugal.
Mariah Kelley of Seattle Pacific University shared a description of her poster “Stress induces glial inflammation in the nucleus accumbens of rats,” which she presented at the Erickson Conference 2023 5 May in Seattle, Washington.
