My PhD work is now out! Here, we set out to formalize the neural manifold hypothesis and explain several experimental phenomena in systems neuroscience with a single theoretical framework. I highly recommend giving it a read, though tweetprint come much later!

Visiting Wisconsin-Madison this week to attend #SIAMAG25. Would love to connect with fellow researchers, say hi if you are around!

Two papers out today on RL in the dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain of mice (one from McGill's new PI @paulmasset.bsky.social). Both papers demonstrate heterogeneity in discount factors!

🚨Higher-order combinatorial models in TDL are notoriously slow and resource-hungry. Can we do better?

Announcement of a new scholarship program for Turkish students seeking internships in the US!

BTF is now officially accepting funding applications: bridgetoturkiye.org/our-work/schol…

The program requires you to apply with a mentor, who can be a PhD or a postdoc in a US institution.

How does AI memorize information? How does ChatGPT remember your name? How do RNNs keep track of simple numbers?

Our new paper led by Bariscan Kurtkaya & Fatih Dinc explores the geometry of short-term memory in neural networks—revealing limits in how information is stored!🧵
