Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since the last upload, as I’ve been heads-down focused on PhD work and also developing new visualization tools on the back end to make future videos even better. But I’m back with a few exciting announcements:

------------------------
𝟭. 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 🎥
The next video is dropping around ~Feb 19. Stay tuned!
(bonus points if you can guess by the sneak peek image what it is about)

------------------------
𝟮. 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 "𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱" 📩
I’m excited to announce my weekly newsletter. I’ve named it Receptive Field, paralleling how a neuron responds to a specific slice of the sensory world.
This newsletter is my receptive field. Every Sunday, I’ll deliver a curated collection of thoughts, papers, and insights at the intersection of biological and artificial intelligence directly to your inbox

𝟯. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 🧠
Finally, we now have a growing Discord community accessible through Patreon. It’s the best place to see behind-the-scenes content, help me brainstorm future video topics, ask questions, discuss papers or simply hang out with like-minded people curious about the brain

📢 Hi everyone!

I've got some exciting news to share with you all!!
Many of you have asked me about the software and approaches I use to create my animations. I decided to address this popular demand in detail and make a dedicated video with a breakdown of some animations from my previous videos! 🎬🔥

I want to make sure I cover the animations that resonated with you the most. So, I need your help!

Leave a comment below with the name of the video and the time code of the animation you want me to analyze. It could be a 3D scene, a simulation, graphs & formulas or a visual effect. Your choice! 💥

I'll carefully review your comments and select some of the most requested and interesting animations to feature in the video. We'll explore the software and techniques behind each piece together! 🎥🔍

I really appreciate your support, and I'm excited to share this information with you. Stay tuned!

Sincerely yours,
artem ❤️

What is the ideal video duration in your opinion?

Hi everyone,

It's been a month since the last video was published.
I just wanted to let you all know that I didn't disappear ;)

The reason for this is that I'm working on quite a challenging project. As you may know, Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown) has announced this year's Summer of Math Exposition 2022 video contest.
This is why I decided to focus on making the best entry I can. And because a competition video of this kind requires extensive research and planning, it takes significantly more time than usual.

Thank you for understanding!

In the meantime, here's a teaser for what's coming up 🧠

Dear all,

Quite recently I did an interview with Andrew, who run the YouTube channel "Sense of Mind". The video just got published today, and I'm excited to share it with you!

Here we talk about spatial navigation, attention, and science communication 🧠

Don't hesitate to let us know what you think in the video's comment section!

Sincerely,
artem

Hello everyone!

This channel has just passed a 10K subscriber mark! 🎉🥂  Thank you everyone for being a part of this amazing community!!

To bring more engagement, I’d appreciate it if you shared your suggestions and vision for the future content! Perhaps, there are certain topics you would like me to talk about / elaborate on older videos / explore a particular neuroscience paper / try out a different “type” of videos.

Here’re some entries from my “video ideas list”. Perhaps, some of them could be helpful for inspiration

- What are “Brain waves” and why do they matter
- Logarithmic behaviour of neurons
- Role of dopamine & motivation in learning
- How to overcome study procrastination
- How to read a textbook
- Getting started with computational neuroscience

Every feedback is welcome!

P.S. This moment also coincides with the International Women’s Day, which is why I’d like to take a moment to congratulate all women on 8th of March!

Hi everyone!

Let me begin with amazing news! Just yesterday we hit a 1K subscribers milestone (🎉🥂), and now it is 1.3K already, which is absolutely mind blowing!! I'm extremely grateful for all of you!

It looks like the major portion of this growth comes from the "Neural Manifolds" video, which (apparently) got favoured by the Youtube algorithm. I see a lot of people subscribing to the channel, because they expect to see more stuff like this.

However, since I made it specifically as an entry for 3B1B's competition, it drastically differs from the type of content I initially had in mind when creating this channel and from the type of videos I upload on a regular basis.

That's why I decided to address the potential discrepancy in the audience expectations and put together a poll, which may have an impact on the future of this channel.

Please let me know what type of content you would like to see more!

And don't hesitate to let me know what you think down in the comments as well.

Thank you all!
