Join us at the Data on the Brain & Mind Workshop at NeurIPS 2025. This event is focused on applications of AI to neuroscience. We will be presenting a tutorial on accessing and using the Allen Brain Observatory Visual Behavior Neuropixels dataset {https://brain-map.org/our-research/circuits-behavior/visual-behavior}.This dataset consists of dense electrophysiological recordings of neural activity in mice performing a visual change detection task. Each experiment includes data from up to six Neuropixels probes recording simultaneously in cortex, hippocampus, thalamus and midbrain, while mice were exposed to different sensory and behavioral contexts, including familiar and novel stimuli, as well as active and passive stimulus blocks.
The Surgery team offers a variety of aseptic rodent surgical procedures ranging from stereotaxic injections to headpost implantation and cranial windowing.
The Neuropixels platform uses pioneering technology for highly reproducible, targeted, brain-wide, cell-type-specific electrophysiology to record neural activity from defined neuron types across the brain.
The Molecular Anatomy platform combines innovative histology, imaging, and analysis techniques to map the morphology and molecular identity of neuron types across the whole brain.
The Behavior platform uses advanced technology to implement a standardized, modular, multi-task virtual reality gymnasium for mice, with the goal to study brain function across different behaviors at scale.
The Fiber Photometry platform enables optical measurement of neural activity in live animals to study neural circuits' function and dynamics in behaving animals.
