We have openings for PhD students and Postdocs! Come work with us on 1) using AI to understand how neural computations are implemented in the brain or 2) AI tools for clinical neuroscience or 3) simulation-based inference for scientific discovery!

I just posted a major piece of my graduate research, where we used global coherence (previously used with EEG recordings of general anesthesia) to characterize coherent networks of alpha oscillations in disorders of consciousness medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We need to update the Gym environment for catching a Super Heavy booster. 🚀

Excited to share a new project! 🎉🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… How do we navigate between brain states when we switch tasks? Are dynamics driven by control, or passive decay of the prev task? To answer, we compare high-dim linear dynamical systems fit to EEG and RNNs🌀 ⏬

📜🎉 I have a new preprint: a systematic review of clinical investigations of aperiodic activity! I reviewed 143 reports from across 35 disorders, to summarize current results, evaluate current practices, and make some recommendations for future work: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Elsevier is one of the largest, most hated and most influential academic publishing companies in the world. How it started & how it's going A thread🧵

Have you been wanting to dive into laminar MEG, but have been held back by using windows? We've got you covered! laMEG now tested on windows! danclab.github.io/laMEG/windows_… Thanks to Quentin Moreau, Maxime Ferez, and Ludovic Darmet!

Our new work on the inhibitory control of LANGUAGE is now available at JEP:General. This is a wonderful collab between Kristi Hendrickson (also my wife) and my labs, first-authored by a former undergrad who joined us after our #FirstGen workshop. 🧵 below psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-37…

⁉️What do model-neural similarity scores tell us? To systematically explore this for different metrics, we develop new numerical tools & analytics to characterize what drives similarity scores and what constitutes a "good" score. (1/10)

I will recruit a PhD student through ELLIS to join our chair at the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute (France) ANITI Toulouse to work in Neuro-AI and/or X-AI. Details about the institute can be found at aniti.univ-toulouse.fr/en/. The student will work closely

Want a tool that uses ML to generate REALLY good fake brain recordings? You're getting one. Julius' paper on diffusion models for brain data is published! Works with all kinds of densely sampled, multichannel continuous signals (LFP, EEG, etc.) cell.com/patterns/fullt…

If you are at #SPR2024 TheRealSPR and enjoy thinking about circuit mechanisms of EEG, consider checking out Symposium VIII.4 on Sat. - I’ll be presenting Human Neocortical Neurosolver microcircuit models of the stop-signal frontocentral ERP (alongside prelim beta event modeling, as a treat)! 🛑🧠

Wow, Frontiers really will publish *anything*! 😂

Alert non-LLM internship position in Zurich Health AI 🍏🚨🧑‍💻 If you 1) have a strong background in deep probabilistic modeling, SBI, hybrid learning or causality 2) are curious about exciting health applications, you should apply! jobs.apple.com/en-il/details/…

Selective attention guides behavior through target enhancement and distractor suppression. Using human ECoG, we uncovered the complementary neural mechanisms enabling this gating process. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Work with Sabine Kastner, Bob Knight, Ole Jensen @olejensen.bsky.social, Ian Fiebelkorn

A study started by the late Catherine Kerr discovered that a program involving qigong could be as effective as more standard exercise programs in improving cancer-related fatigue. Stephanie Jones and Chloe Zimmerman spoke with us about it. 📺 bit.ly/3NP7iVI

No, AI Has Not Killed Marr's Three Levels, It’s Merely Maimed Them (Consider me triggered. 😂🤣) The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly in neural networks and deep learning, has led some to question the relevance of classical frameworks like David Marr's

Everyone using RNNs to model the brain has their favorite activation function: sigmoid, tanh, ReLU. But does it matter which one you choose? Turns out it does! Activation functions affect representations, dynamics, and circuit solutions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Tolmachev Pavel

The sbi package is growing into a community project 🌎 To reflect this and the algorithms, neural nets, and diagnostics that have been added since its initial release, we have written a new software paper. Reach out if you want to get involved: arxiv.org/abs/2411.17337
