Proud to share our new work with @marcelomattar.bsky.social and @leaduncker.bsky.social, newly accepted to #NeurIPS2026 arxiv.org/abs/2609.17042. This paper is a precursor to a forthcoming follow up work that I hope will be one of the biggest papers of my career.

The award covers travel, hotel, food and registration. It is a great opportunity to learn more about computational neuroscience, particularly for students considering graduate study. We especially encourage applications from traditionally under-represented/under-served groups. (2/2)

Long-overdue thread on our latest work using the IBL data to reveal the shared organizational principles of the neural code in the cortex. A systematic analysis of categoricality 🧱 and dimensionality 📐 of the neural code across 40+ cortical regions. doi.org/10.1101/202... 👇 1/n

biorxiv.orgRarely categorical, always high-dimensional: how the neural code changes along the cortical hierarchyA long-standing debate in neuroscience concerns whether individual neurons are organized into functionally distinct populations that encode information differently ("categorical" representations) and the implications for neural computation. Here, we systematically analyzed how cortical neurons encode cognitive, sensory, and movement variables across 43 cortical regions during a complex task (14,000+ units from the International Brain Laboratory public Brainwide Map data set) and studied how these properties change across the sensory-cognitive cortical hierarchy. We found that the structure of the neural code was scale-dependent: on a whole-cortex scale, neural selectivity was categorical and organized across regions in a way that reflected their anatomical connectivity. However, within individual regions, categorical representations were rare and limited to primary sensory areas. Remarkably, the degree of categorical clustering of neural selectivity was inversely correlated to the dime

I will soon delete all my twitter posts, so in the next few days I will be recycling some of my most liked tweets, in random order. The first one had to be a shitpost, of course

Since we are in full migration season from the birdsite, I made this to help ppl from the Zuckerman Institute find each other / anybody interested in this amazing community to single-click follow a bunch of 🧠s working on 🧠s. Dm/comment for additions, I just started with the first few I could find

You are up to date.
