Incredible opportunity. Apply now!

Long-overdue thread on our latest work using the IBL data to reveal the shared organizational principles of the neural code in the cortex. A systematic analysis of categoricality 🧱 and dimensionality 📐 of the neural code across 40+ regions. doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… 👇 1/n

As a long-time fan of Paul Middlebrooks's "Brain Inspired" podcast, it was an honor to be invited on to talk about NeuroAgents, our update to the Turing Test, and AI safety at the end. Coincidentally recorded on my birthday, no less! Check it out here 👇

In case it's of interest, here are links to the technical details behind each topic: 1. NeuroAgents research program: tinyurl.com/yc48bnz4 & talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=9_7mQu… 2. NeuroAI Turing Test (with Jenelle Feather, Meenakshi Khosla, and Apurva Ratan Murty):

In a study now out in eLife - the journal, Georgin Jacob Pramod RT/ಪ್ರಮೋದ್ ರಾ ತಾ and I have some exciting results: a novel computation that helps the brain solve disparate visual tasks, a novel brain region that performs this computation....what's not to like?!

Catch mayukh09 and Mainak Deb at #ICLR2025 where they will be presenting their Spotlight paper on Vision and Language topographic models (TopoNets)

Come listen to Beh Lahner talk about the MOSAIC dataset! Mosaic has no train-test leakage and is large enough to train brain models directly from these data. Joint work with Aude Oliva’s lab

#VSS2025 Tomorrow in Talk Room 2 at 9.15AM. mayukh09 will be presenting our work on TopoNets! You can read more about this work at toponets.github.io.

Can we precisely and noninvasively modulate deep brain activity just by riding the natural visual feed? 👁️🧠 In our new preprint, we use brain models to craft subtle image changes that steer deep neural populations in primate IT cortex. Just pixels. 📝arxiv.org/abs/2506.05633

Our paper is now accepted at Neural Networks! This work builds on our previous threads, updated with deeper analyses. We revisit brain-to-image reconstruction using NSD + diffusion models—and ask: do they really reconstruct what we perceive? Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.neun… 🧵1/12
