Function is not tied to specific brain structures or time scales. The brain is not just a set of parts that each “do their own job”. Instead, networks are multifunctional and active across different speeds simultaneously. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #neuroscience

Shared spatial and temporal principles govern connectome dynamics across timescales | PNAS

While the brain processes information at various speeds, little is known about how the functional connectome can concurrently support multiple spee...

Our paper "Neural timescales from a computational perspective" is finally out in @natneuro.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We discuss how computational models and methods can distill empirical observations on neural timescales into quantitative, testable theories of brain computation.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

How do time series foundation models forecast unseen dynamical systems? In new experiments, we find that small transformers learn to approximate transfer operators in-context. (1/N) arxiv.org/abs/2602.18679

New preprint: "Identifying statistical indicators of temporal asymmetry using a data-driven approach" arxiv.org/abs/2511.15991 _Can we statistically distinguish the forward- versus reverse-time dynamics of a system from a finite time series?_

🚨new lab preprint; brain fingerprinting entirely revisited: Can we differentiate individuals from just seconds of neurophysiological recordings with machine learning, without resorting to black-box approaches? In this work, Maxence Lapatrie says 'yes'. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How does the visual cortex coordinate neural activity over spatial and temporal scales? We found broad θ waves organize local γ bursts and spiking, forming a flexible spatiotemporal code to multiplex feedforward/feedback signals. Now out in full @natcomms.nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵

New preprint! So, say you're studying some critical transition. How do you catch its universality? Pair correlations? Boring! We threw line segments at the system, looked at intersections with clusters, and uncovered static and dynamical universal behavior of MIPS! arxiv.org/abs/2511.09444

New toolbox for visualizing subcortex in python and R is very well made. Worth pivoting your research program to study subcortical structures just as an excuse to use it ;)
