I mainly do neural computations, rock climbing, skiing, hiking, running and medicine.

One day after the U.S. signed a deal with the Islamic Republic، the regime in Iran, handed Parastoo Ahmadi 74 lashes for singing on YouTube.

They call America the Great Satan. And then they flew to the table and signed a deal with the «Devil«. But a woman’s voice scared them more than any superpower ever could.

A regime that whips women for showing their hair and singing, there’s not a normal government.
This is called apartheid against women.

حدود دو سال است روی اختراعی کار می‌کنم که تصویر را مستقیماً به شبکیه چشم منتقل می‌کند و خوشبختانه نتایج اولیه‌اش موفق بوده است.

این همان مسیر مهاجرت انسان از جهان واقعی به جهان مجازی است که مدت‌هاست درباره‌اش صحبت می‌کنم. 🚀

I'm proud we are releasing LAION-fMRI, a densely sampled 7T fMRI dataset of natural images, with very broad stimulus sampling for testing countless hypotheses & deeply exploring brain representations. It is now available at

What does LAION-fMRI offer? 🧵

[Agustin Ibañez @AgustinMIbanez]

Biophysical generative models allow us to understand mechanisms of brain dynamics grounded in empirical data. We developed a multi-frequency whole-brain model that stabilizes excitation/inhibition balance through inhibitory synaptic plasticity, enabling more realistic fMRI and M/EEG simulations. The model improves the fit to empirical connectivity data and discriminates brain macrostates, offering a mechanistic tool to investigate brain dynamics and neuromodulation, with relevance for testing in silico interventions. Robust work by @carlosmig_12  co-led by Fernando Lehue & Patricio Orio https://t.co/Oa2pJsNijZ. Congrats to all authors.

💸 #Iran's internet blackout is now past hour 1776, entering its 75th day. The digital censorship measure has led to profiteering and a decline in digital security as government-backed "pro" internet schemes and selective whitelisting result in surveillance, corruption and scams.

📉 Metrics show the #Iran internet blackout is now in its 72nd day with connectivity flatlining after 1704 hours. The unprecedented measure is well into its third month with no indication of a wider restoration as authorities bar the general public from international access.

Neuroscience is a global endeavor whose main promise is curing the many brain related diseases. Global collaboration is the key to that. I am so sad that our Iranian friends will, once again, be excluded.

1) Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the inclusion of Iran in Neuromatch.I witnessed how much it can change lives.For many Iranian researchers, opportunities like Neuromatch were never just educational programs,

[Neuromatch @neuromatch]

We have difficult news to share. Neuromatch's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license renewal, which has allowed us to include participants residing in Iran since 2020, has been denied by the United States Government.

How we prompt AI is very different in 2026 than 2022 when ChatGPT came out.

I'm teaching a new course, AI Prompting for Everyone, to help you become an AI power user — whatever your current skill level.

It covers skills that apply across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI tools. How to use deep research mode for well-researched reports on complex questions. How to give AI the right context, including more documents and images than most people realize you can provide. When to ask AI to think hard for several minutes on important decisions like what car to buy, what to study, or what job to take. And how to use AI to generate images, analyze data, and build simple games and websites.

I also cover intuitions about how these models work under the hood, so you know when to trust an answer and when not to.

Along the way, you'll see flying squirrels, a creativity test, some of my old family photos, and fireworks.
