Every year I wish @varooooom happy birthday on every social media platform I can think of. This year he finally one upped me...

Brain activity doesn't wander randomly through high-D space. It travels along well-worn routes, forming a low-D structures or neural manifold. Using T-PHATE, which we developed previously (https://t.co/2J0qbRm5Qx), we learned each individual's manifold prior to BCI training.

As neuro-ai shifts toward brain foundation models, the need for a good, standardized benchmark has never been greater

NeuralBench is finally here! Grateful to have helped on this massive effort by @hubertjbanville and the team! Can’t wait to see where the community takes it!

[Hubert Banville @hubertjbanville]

🧠 Introducing NeuralBench: a unified, open-source framework to benchmark NeuroAI models.

v1.0: 36 EEG tasks, 94 datasets, task-specific + foundation models. MEG/fMRI ready.

MIT-licensed, FAIR's Brain & AI @AIatMeta.

MOOD: INTO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 💃

[Jamie Simon @learning_mech]

1/ Deep learning is going to have a scientific theory. We can see the pieces starting to come together, and it's looking a lot like physics!

We're releasing a paper pulling together these emerging threads and giving them a name: learning mechanics.

[Saarang Panchavati @saarang_p]

Congrats to the team on an incredible release!! Dealing with data harmonization across modalities and temporal scales is a massive bottleneck in comp neuro — no longer!

very jealous of incoming PhD students who get to start with neuralset from day one!

[Jean-Rémi King @JeanRemiKing]

💫 Introducing NeuralSet:
a simple, fast, scalable Python package for Neuro-AI

📦 pip install neuralset

🧵 Details👇

[LucyZ @LucyZ47712090]

New package release from our amazing team 🎉🎉🎉

Using NeuralSet, you can go from a directory of downloaded data files to analysis-ready / AI-ready tensors with only a couple of lines of code

Time to power up 💪

[Lucas Bandarkar @LucasBandarkar]

Interpretability has not kept up with scaling LLMs at all, especially for *knowledge*. But here's a wild idea:
using cross-lingual knowledge inconsistency (typically seen as a "bug") as a tool for dissecting where knowledge lives

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell.
Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

[Aditya Pimplaskar @apimplaskar]

Excited to see our work in AJHG! Thank you to our amazing co-authors, UCLA Institute for Precision Health, UCLA CTSI, and our collaborators for the support with this work. Above all, we are grateful to the patients and ATLAS biobank participants at @UCLAHealth.

New preprint! We mapped thalamocortical dynamics in human focal epilepsy using SEEG. We found distinct spectral and connectivity based signature that could be direct targets for neurostimulation.

[Epilepsia @EpilepsiaJourn]

Key point: We observed a significant increase in coherence between seizure onset and thalamic nuclei across all frequency bands at ictal onset.
