Looking forward to this @cosynemeeting.bsky.social workshop, which will start at 9:30 AM EST tomorrow! I will speak first at 9:30 AM. If you're at the conference and interested in learning mechanisms in multi-region neural network models of motor control, don't hesitate to join us!
Super excited about our 2-day @cosynemeeting.bsky.social workshop on learning that pays tribute to the diversity of timescales, teaching signals and circuits that work together to shape adaptive behaviors, and where we hope to bridge insights from behavior, dynamics, and learning rules! #cosyne2025
Excited to share our #cosyne25 workshop on learning across timescales! Check out our awesome line-up of speakers across both days: learning-fast-and-slow.github.io

Pre-print 🧠🧪
Is mechanism modeling dead in the AI era?

ML models trained to predict neural activity fail to generalize to unseen opto perturbations. But mechanism modeling can solve that.

We say "perturbation testing" is the right way to evaluate mechanisms in data-constrained models

🚨Our paper on how the cerebellum learns to drive cortical dynamics for rapid task learning and switching, which we propose can then be consolidated in the cortex @naturecomms.bsky.social

My lab has been working on comparing neural representations for the past few years - methods like RSA, CKA, CCA, Procrustes distance

We are often asked: What do these things tell us about the system's function? How do they relate to decoding?

Our new paper has some answers arxiv.org/abs/2411.08197
