I reverse engineered Neuralink's new decoder arch. out of their blog post.
As usual, they used the HARD work of other labs, and share nothing about the internals.
Cortical activity is converted to bags of "words", producing a low-dimensional representation ... 🧵
⏰️ LAST CALL ⏰️ Apply to be an Impact Scholars Supervisors for our 2026-2027 cohort.
Apply by 4 Oct 2026 or share with someone who'd be great at it!

That’s a wrap on the #BernsteinConference 2026! 🎉
Four days of talks, posters, workshops, discussions and plenty of opportunities to connect. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Frankfurt!

Excited to share our new work now out in Nature Neuroscience!! We use a whole-brain framework to show that aging and Alzhiemer's disease affect the brain's functional organization along completely separate axes.

Mix. selectivity is everywhere in cortex: from vis. to PFC
This paper relates to Cover's theorem but the typical explainer kind of sucks
I'll try to explain how the theory relates to the paper, and the importance of "weird" neurons
A🧵with my toy model and notes:
@nest-initiative.org is at the #BernsteinConference too! They have a booth here, so pass by if you’re interested in large-scale spiking network simulations, #ComputationalNeuroscience, or simply want to learn more about #NESTSimulator 🙂
…And, of course, the poster session! So many interesting projects and great discussions. One of my favorite parts!
Another highlight today: Xiao-Jing Wang received the '26 Valentin Braitenberg Award for his outstanding contributions to #CompNeuro, from neural circuit models of #WorkingMemory & #DecisionMaking to #ComputationalPsychiatry. Congratulations👏
The satellite workshops at the #BernsteinConference yesterday and today were already fantastic! I enjoyed every single talk and discussion. And today, the main conference kicked off as well. What a great start!
⏰ Reminder: Impact Scholars Supervisor applications close this Sunday, 4 October 2026!
We're especially interested in hearing from Supervisors for these two projects:
🧠 A #CompNeuro project: airtable.com/app7MJ7encL0...
🤖 A #NeuroAI project: airtable.com/app7MJ7encL0...
📦 Our conference materials are packed and on their way to @goetheuni.bsky.social and we’re getting ready for the #BernsteinConference 2026!
We’ve loved seeing so many of you already share your posters and talks for next week. See you all in Frankfurt! 👋
3/3 Trainees join one lab, with joint meetings, shared infrastructure & cross-lab collaboration. PhD applications open Oct 15; postdoc ongoing!

New paper by @masahironakano.bsky.social , @casewell.bsky.social & @clopathlab.bsky.social who show that planning-like L/R #ThetaSequences in #hippocampus can arise from #MEC dynamics and #Bayesian decoding. Take home: Not every future-like sweep is necessarily planning.
Looking forward to hosting Adrián F. Ponce Alvarez for our Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience seminar at ISS. A fascinating talk on how specific cell types shape critical neural activity. Join us on 18 Sept at 10:30!
Excited to be speaking at the workshop Structuring Knowledge: Neural and Computational Perspectives in Rovereto.
I'll be presenting our work on geometric cognitive maps for serial inference in premotor cortex. Looking forward to the discussions!

Depending on the activation function, local balance can stabilize activity, drive #chaos, or change the effective #dimensionality of the #dynamics. Really interesting theory read!
