@karihoffman yeah #degeneracy seems to be ubiquitous and in my PhD lab we started doing lots of sensitivity analyses after the papers from Eve's lab came out like this one -- Similar network activity from disparate circuit parameters and then we did a lot of background research on where the ideas came from for neuroscience. That's how we came across the 2 papers I cited earlier.
We did a lot of work on degeneracy across the scales in #neuroscience. Last year we wrote a review where we emphasize that LFP interpretations require recognition of degeneracy across multiple scales -- Active Dendrites and Local Field Potentials: Biophysical Mechanisms and Computational Explorations #ShamelessPlug :P
side note and a bit #offtopic -- 2 members wrote a big review on degeneracy and my contributions were only mentioned in the acknowledgment section
I was a grad student at the time and didn't know any better and still struggle with who should get acknowledgement vs authorship. Kinda sad how academia doesn't follow some community-approved norm for giving scientists credit -- see my poll here https://neuromatch.social/@manisha/110556283019459141 -- still struggling with how to approach that topic with the PI as that was one of the many reasons why I am no longer an active academic but trying to change how #academia and #science work -- starting with our very own neuromatch.social -- we have lots of things planned and all instance members are welcome to join us in changing how we do and communicate science #neuromatchstodon @academicchatter
@Neurograce if you use this discussion to guide future talks/research, I would be very grateful if you cite the discussion thread. I know that's not how things are done traditionally but who says we can't change traditions? This way we can all start working as a community of scientists collaborating together and giving ample credit to each other rather than competing against each other :)
