I'm excited to share our new #NeurIPS2025 paper with
@jsoldadomagrane @YuLikeNeuro @SmithLabNeuro!
We introduce OMiSO, a new adaptive brain stimulation framework with two technical advancements from our previous work MiSO.

🎉There's a new doctor in the world!🎉
A warm congratulations to @dixitsheron, PhD. I'm proud of you! You’ve come so far, and we’re excited to see how far you’ll go. Thanks to @SmithLabNeuro for serving as outside examiner, and to Denis Pare for serving as chair.

I'm excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper with
@jsoldadomagrane @SmithLabNeuro @YuLikeNeuro!
We develop a new brain stimulation framework (MiSO) to drive neural population activity toward specified states.

Task-driven DNN models nicely predict neural responses but have millions of params---next to impossible to explain. Do they need to be so large?
