Triple-N is fantastic—a dataset that was collected with a lot of thought and care. Neuropixel recordings in 5 monkeys viewing 1000 NSD images! Some friends and I did a short write up on large-scale community data resources like this, check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Integrating neuroscience across species and scales - Nature Neuroscience

Neuroscientists have an ever-expanding array of tools for measuring brain activity at multiple scales, motivating efforts to integrate diverse datasets and capitalize on their complementary strengths....

Our Triple-N dataset is released and published in Nature Neuroscience! Hope you enjoy it and please DM me if you need any help when using it! Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Docs: liyipeng-moon.github.io/Triple-N-Docs/ Data: www.scidb.cn/en/detail?da...

I just submitted a comment on the proposed new OMB rule, which is very dangerous fo rUS science. I urge you to consider doing the same. You can do so very easily at this web page: fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/164... A short comment is fine but write in your own words. More info follows..

Sharks,

Finally putting this work out as a preprint :) Thanks to Emery Brown and @earlkmiller.bsky.social for helping conceptualize this work! Code: github.com/Bowen-Zheng-... and a tutorial notebook on the key ideas: github.com/Bowen-Zheng-... A 3-min overview below: (1/)

New results! A new method that analyzes brain waves and spike timing together. This lets us pinpoint exactly which rhythms neurons are locking to. BAYESIAN STATE-SPACE MODEL FOR JOINT INFERENCE OF OSCILLATORY DYNAMICS AND POINT-PROCESS COUPLING doi.org/10.64898/202... #neuroscience

Really cool work, excited to take a closer look! side note: so glad that people are finding value in our EMFL data!

🚨 New Preprint! 🧠 We gave an AI model one simple rule: rearrange your neurons so that nearby ones respond alike. We never told it what a face, a voice, or a sentence was. It grew brain-like maps for all three anyway. 🧵👇 🌐 Website: topo-omni.epfl.ch

What does it mean to understand language? We argue that the brain’s core language system is limited, and that *deeply* understanding language requires EXPORTING info to other brain regions. w/ @neuranna.bsky.social @evfedorenko.bsky.social @nancykanwisher.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2511.19757 1/n🧵👇

What does it mean to understand language?

Language understanding entails not just extracting the surface-level meaning of the linguistic input, but constructing rich mental models of the situation it describes. Here we propose that because pr...

It’s grad school application season, and I wanted to give some public advice. Caveats: -*-*-*-*

Sparse components distinguish visual pathways & their alignment to neural networks

The ventral, dorsal, and lateral streams in high-level human visual cortex are implicated in distinct functional processes. Yet, deep neural networks (DNNs) trained on a single task model the entire v...
