New preprint! 🧠🤖

How do we build neural decoders that are:
⚡️ fast enough for real-time use
🎯 accurate across diverse tasks
🌍 generalizable to new sessions, subjects, and even species?

We present POSSM, a hybrid SSM architecture that optimizes for all three of these axes!

Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS) is now accepted to @icmlconf.bsky.social as a spotlight (top 2.6%)! 🧠 🧪
Another step toward a foundation model of the mouse brain: "Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS)"

Trained on neural and behavioral data from 70+ mice, NEDS achieves state-of-the-art prediction of behavior (decoding) and neural responses (encoding) on held-out animals. 🐀

Looking forward to joining the FM for neuro conversation at the #COSYNE2025 workshops!

I will be sharing some of our experiences scaling models for iEEG datasets with variable layouts and high-resolution temporal signals. Hope to see you there!

Eva Dyer and I wrote an opinion piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why neuroscience needs to embrace complexity and accept the "bitter lesson" by using a data-driven regime at scale.

With commentary from several wonderful researchers!

🧠📈 #NeuroAI 🧪
How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask Eva Dyer and @tyrellturing.bsky.social in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series.

Accepting “bitter lesson” and embracing brain’s complexity
To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.
