One path toward AI safety, then, is to take a page from evolution and find a way to install caring so that it retains leverage over knowing. #neuroskyence #neuroAI

Will you be at #SfN2026 this November? We'd love to know! 🧠

If you're planning to attend, let us know and leave us a note here: airtable.com/appWO8lu7xm3...

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 ... 🧵

I had a feeling recently that seems to be corroborated by chats with colleagues, so I decided to share it here.

A lot of systems neuroscientists driven by algorithmic-level questions are going through what looks and feels like a research depression. 🧵

Does biological wiring make a better reservoir?

Our WIVACE 2026 paper benchmarks different C. Elegans connectomes. Randomized baselines often perform better; results depend on the task and configuration.

I also want to share an update from our topographic ANN work led by Haider Al Tahan (not on bsky!). What does adding topography actually do to a model’s internal representations? Does it make is more brain like? Let me tell you about TopoAudio! #neuroskyence #neuroscience #brain #neuroai

Excited to first share @alishdipani.bsky.social 's study. Alish asked a (deceptively) simple Q: Are category-selective units in ANNs actually like category-selective regions in the brain? (why is this imp? read until the end). #neuroskyence #neuroscience #brain #neuroai

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:

⏰ 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...

Interested in #NeuroAI? Max Planck Schools Biomedical AI applications are open until Dec 1.

If you’re looking at mentors, I think Arno Villringer is worth checking out :)

Foundation models are beginning to learn transferable representations directly from human neuroimaging, suggesting a shift toward generalizable computational models of brain structure and function.
