@NeurIPSConf Huge shoutout to my collaborators and mentors: @KasraFlh, @ZabehErfan, @RudramaniSingha, @eunji_kkong, @gergelyturi1, @attila_losonczy, who gave me a tremendous amount of guidance and support throughout this work.

Let's compute the brain 🧠!

#NeuralFieldManifold: now accepted at @NeurIPSConf 2026!

We show that population field signals can be represented through low-dimensional manifolds, and that their geometry captures behaviorally relevant structure that can support downstream behavioral decoding.

Now accepted at @NeurIPSConf 2026: NeuralFieldManifold 🎉
#NeuralManifolds have transformed how neuroscientists think about population activity—but almost all of that story has been built around spikes. We extend that doctrine to the world of subthreshold brain activity (LFP, EEG, ...).
Camera-ready + tutorials coming out soon.
Great work by @KasraFlh , @NovakHChen , and @RudramaniSingha , with @eunji_kkong , @gergelyturi1 , and @attila_losonczy helping the formulation comes to real brain data.
Come check us out at NeurIPS 2026, I guess in #Atlanta …

Dear editors, I'm a postdoc researching math cognition, early home learning environment, and parent-child interactions, with publications in DP, JECP, ECRQ, etc. If you need a quick and responsive reviewer in these areas, I'd love to help! 📩 [email protected]
