Mathematically the lottery is still not worth it even with a $1B jackpot! By the way, me posting about lotto does not mean that I've been hacked! 😅 It's still me! I just wanted to be notified when lotteries are worth the ticket, so I made whenlotto 😄

Incredible work by the Neuralink team! 👏 I am amazed by how fast they could get their new device to human trials ⚡ The cursor control seems extremely reliable too.👌

Expected value of return on investment (ROI) is still negative 30% at 1.1B jackpot... Still not worth it! ❌ 🎉 whenlotto tweets now have charts 🙂

#Powerball ⏲️ Next draw: April 3, 2024, 7:59 p.m. PT (10 hours from now) 💰 Jackpot: $1.09 billion 💵 Cash value: $527.3 million 🎫 Ticket: $2 💵 Expected prize cash value Before tax: $1.96 ⇨ $1.49 (ROI: -26%) ❌ Still NOT worth it Source: whenlotto.com

Ok, we're getting close... ROI on #PowerBall is now *only* negative 15%. Still not worth it, but could get there in the next draw...

Great open source browser extension for email privacy! The "team" behind it (😉) have been doing a great job for ~10 years maintaining it! Glad to hear that they (😉) managed to make the transition to Manifest V3! trockerapp.github.io

DPAD is finally out in Nature Neuroscience! 🎉 I actually started this work during the last year of my PhD back in 2020 (!) & we posted the preprint 3 years ago!!! Some things really do take time... Huge thanks to Maryam Shanechi for her unwavering support throughout this journey! 🙌

Anyone can make a podcast these days!! 🤯 We turned our blog post into a podcast just using Google's NotebookLM (notebooklm.google.com) and veed.io! Check it out! youtu.be/cuz7hqRZi4U

Google's NotebookLM (notebooklm.google.com) makes surprisingly convincing podcasts! This one was made by just pasting the link to whenlotto.com/about into NotebookLM! 🤯

Excited that our paper made the cover of Nature Neuroscience! We developed DPAD, an AI framework for dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data and dissociating behaviorally relevant neural dynamics. 📜nature.com/articles/s4159… 💻github.com/ShanechiLab/DP… 👏Omid Sani

Congrats Lucine Oganesian! 🎉 Check out our new multimodal preferential learning method, developed & presented by Lucine Oganesian NeurIPS Conference! Like PSID, this method is analytical, so its learning is not iterative or gradient-based. 👇 Code and #NeurIPS2024 poster info in the 🧵

Can we efficiently learn models of collective dynamics in multimodal discrete-continuous time-series, e.g. spike-LFP? We develop a new multimodal subspace identification method to do so & enable causal multimodal decoding! 👏Parima Ahmadipour Omid Sani J Neural Eng paper, code,🧵⬇️

A lottery has a Billion dollar jackpot again, but surprise... It is still not worth it! 😀 P.S. My account is not hacked. I made whenlotto; That's why I some times tweet about it. 😅

#MegaMillions ⏲️ Next draw: Dec. 27, 2024, 8 p.m. PT (2 days, 10 hours from now) 💰 Jackpot: $1.15 billion 💵 Cash value: $516.1 million 🎫 Ticket: $2 💵 Expected prize cash value Before tax: $1.82 ⇨ $1.38 (ROI: -31%) ❌ Still NOT worth it Source: whenlotto.com

Check out our new preprint where we decode goal-directed hand movements from brain-wide intracranial recordings. Find the full preprint here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. I did move to the where the sky is blue, so please find a brief summary over there!

🎉 New in #ICLR2025, we present BRAID for input-driven nonlinear dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data. BRAID disentangles the intrinsic dynamics shared between modalities from input dynamics and modality-specific dynamics. 👏Parsa Vahidi Omid Sani 🧵, Paper & Code ⬇️

Excited for BRAID to expand our neural-behavioral models: PSID & DPAD (Nat Neuro 2021 & 2024), IPSID (PNAS 2024)! See Parsa Vahidi at #ICLR2025 📍Poster Session 5, Hall 3+Hall 2B #57 | Sat Apr 26 | 10AM - 12:30PM ICLR 2026 📜openreview.net/forum?id=3usdM… 💻github.com/ShanechiLab/BR…

Our latest paper uses a creative dual RNN architecture to dissociate intrinsic vs input dynamics: a predictor RNN extracts latent states while a generator RNN explains how intrinsic dynamics evolve from those. Parsa Vahidi is presenting at #ICLR2025 👏 Check 🧵 for details 👇
