About Connectomics
We're building the most rigorous and welcoming community for anyone interested in understanding the brain at the synapse level.
Our Mission
Connectomics exists to bridge the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience research and the curious minds who want to understand it. We're a space where PhD researchers share insights with undergraduate students, where industry engineers collaborate with academic labs, and where anyone with genuine curiosity can learn about the most complex object in the known universe: the brain.
What makes us different
We're not just another science Discord. Here's what sets us apart.
Evidence-Based Everything
Every claim backed by peer-reviewed research. We cite our sources and expect you to do the same.
Instead of 'AI will solve consciousness,' we ask 'What does the latest IIT research tell us about phi complexity?'
Synapse-Level Focus
We go deep into the technical details that matter for understanding neural computation.
From EM reconstruction algorithms to synaptic weight distributions in connectome data.
Collaborative Learning
Share code, discuss papers, and learn from experts across neuroscience and engineering.
Weekly journal clubs, shared GitHub repos, and mentorship from industry professionals.
Zero Hype Policy
We cut through the noise to focus on what's actually happening in brain mapping research.
No 'mind uploading next year' claims. Just honest discussion about current capabilities and limitations.
Our growing community
Real people doing real science, together.
Looking ahead
We believe that understanding the brain is one of humanity's greatest challenges. By bringing together diverse perspectives and maintaining the highest standards of scientific rigor, we're contributing to a future where the mysteries of consciousness and neural computation are finally within reach.
The brain is complex. The community doesn't have to be.
