"So, you have a highly predictive model, now what?" At this #CCN2026 event on Wed, 5 Aug, 4pm at NYU Skirball Theatre I will present work on using ANN brain models for visual prostheses (tinyurl.com/modelguidedm...) and for dyslexia (tinyurl.com/neuroaidysle..., first author: Melika Honarmand).

Come say hi at #CCN2026! Scaling laws for visual cortex, topographic multimodal models, video generation for the lateral stream, model-enabled applications, and a GAC on whether #NeuroAI is asking the right questions

Excited to be at #CCN2026 in NYC! I'll be presenting our spotlight poster, Topo-Omni, with @hannesmehrer.bsky.social 🧠 📍 Poster F14 — Session F 🗓️ Thursday, Aug 6 Come by if you're around, we'd love to talk about how our multimodal model can discover functionally selective brain regions!

The Department of Psychology at Notre Dame is hiring! We have two TT Asst Prof ads out, one in cognitive psychology and another in developmental psychology. Come be my colleague in South Bend!

🚨 NEW PREPRINT Videos strongly shape activity across the visual cortex. But can we design videos that maximally drive specific brain regions? We present NEvo 🧬🧠 — a neural-guided evolutionary framework that synthesizes videos to maximally activate target visual ROIs. (1/10)

Still a few days left to apply for these positions. If you're working at the interface of computational and experimental neuroscience and fancy starting (or bringing) your lab to UCL, please apply!

We are recruiting several Early Career Research Group Leaders for Machine Learning in Science (m/f/d; E14 TV-L, 100%) in Tübingen! Open to researchers directly after their PhD or with postdoctoral experience. Application deadline: July 15, 2026. More info: uni-tuebingen.de/en/128980#c2... 1/2

🚨 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

Very excited to share that my lab will be moving to Princeton (Neuroscience & Psychology) this fall. I'll be recruiting at all levels (more info to come soon), please share / get in touch if you're interested in joining!

🧠 When you watch a movie, your brain blends sight, sound, and speech into a single experience. Should models of the brain blend them too, or keep the senses separate until the very end? We built MIRAGE to find out. It sets a new SOTA for predicting whole-brain fMRI from movies. 🧵

I'm proud to say we are releasing LAION-fMRI, a densely sampled 7T fMRI dataset of natural images, with very broad stimulus sampling for testing countless hypotheses and for deeply exploring brain representations. The dataset is now available at laion-fmri.hebartlab.com What does LAION-fMRI offer? 🧵

LAION-fMRI - a 7T fMRI dataset of human vision

LAION-fMRI (LfMRI / LAION MRI dataset): 5 subjects, 25,052 launch-release natural images, 165 acquired 7T fMRI sessions with single-trial GLMsingle betas, retinotopy, localizers, and diffusion.
