We present our preprint on ViV1T, a transformer for dynamic mouse V1 response prediction. We reveal novel response properties and confirm them in vivo.

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in @Nature.com:
🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0
🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +
Super cool. 😀 Exciting to see the practical use cases of electrical stimulation for treating neurological disorders
We are hiring on the IBM Core AI team. Feel free to DM me. 🙂 Job posting form - forms.gle/zZ2FHDg5sPVq...
Our group builds the technology that makes agentic AI reliable, observable, and governable at enterprise scale, with open research and tooling for evaluating agents and improving them.
Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS) is now accepted to @icmlconf.bsky.social as a spotlight (top 2.6%)! 🧠 🧪

A pair of papers on using holographic optogenetics and compressed sensing for connectomics:
Rapid learning of neural circuitry from holographic ensemble stimulation enabled by model-based compressed sensing

The authors develop a new computational system for high-throughput mapping of synaptic connectivity using two-photon holographic optogenetics and intracellular recordings.
Another step toward a foundation model of the mouse brain: "Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS)"
Trained on neural and behavioral data from 70+ mice, NEDS achieves state-of-the-art prediction of behavior (decoding) and neural responses (encoding) on held-out animals. 🐀

A trial will try to treat tinnitus in people who have only just developed persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears.
Newcastle University researchers funded by the American Tinnitus Association will use electrical brain stimulation & sound therapy.

The Newcastle study gives both electrical stimulus and sound therapy to people with early tinnitus.
We’re hiring postdocs to join my lab at UNC. If you’re interested in adolescence, brain, and social development, DM me. Our work incorporates fMRI, social media, and longitudinal methods. We study risks and opportunities in adolescence. If you’re at #SRCD2025 and want to meet, please reach out!
