In a #ICML2026 position paper we argue a dynamical systems perspective is needed to drive time series models forward: arxiv.org/abs/2602.16864 For TS, we need to move away from transformers that do not respect a system’s dynamical structure, esp. if out-of-domain generalization & insight is sought.

In people at high risk for psychosis, reduced excitability of pyramidal cells predicts who will later convert to develop psychosis, suggesting this may be a root cause of schizophrenia rather than a consequence of the illness.

Biophysical modeling of excitation/inhibition balance and conversion to psychosis in the clinical high risk syndrome

Reduced mismatch negativity (MMN) and P300 event-related potential (ERP) components are widely replicated in schizophrenia and are also observed in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis…

New work, now out in PLoS Biology. Using intracranial recordings & EEG, we find that the human STN rapidly engages / releases motor inhibition depending on task context, does so in tight accord w/ frontal cortex, and shows little to no lateralization while doing so. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
