extremely underrated paper and story

this paper encapsulated some of our (my) really great times in Tübingen, and it's truly about the friends you make along the way. also, I think the cool thing about this is that if you replace "timescales" with any other signature of brain activity, it still outlines a coherent research program

Roxana Zeraati@roxana-zeraati.bsky.social · 4w ago

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.

it took me so damn long to write this thing that the field actually became real in the 2.5 years hooooly anyway, here's another book: 100% grass-fed human-written down to every single letter, though probably for AI consumption only at this point. www.rdgao.com/blog/2026/06...

Beyond #NeuroAI, we need #AI4Neuro—and we’re going to suck at it (at first). [Part 3]

The fundamental principle of using AI for science is that it can help us do some things extremely efficiently, but it usually requires an ‘oracle’ or verifier. I’m of the opinion that we simply don’t ...

Once you get past the first 5 minutes of me bumbling around clearly in need of media training, we settle into a nice groove talking about fitting mechanistic models, ML/AI for neuroscience, underconstrainedness vs. degeneracy, and its potential benefits for biology (plus some good chuckles).

Episode #38 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On extracting spiking network models from experiments - with Richard Gao @rdgao.bsky.social theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn38 How to fit spiking network models to experimental data when there is no unique parameter set giving the best fit.

I woke up today and the Detroit Pistons are first in the East. what year is this??

main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂 looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible. science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv

get in before the spots run out, otherwise put your money in the betting pool

Not only were the signals well aligned, but we found that novelty signals were STRONGER in HGA than in spikes, requiring at least 4-fold less data to reached matched discriminability of novel from repeated images. In this case, you're better off with one channel of HGA than one neuron. (5/10)

I'm starting to think the argument between low vs. high dimensional neural activity literally just comes from plotting the PCs in linear vs. log y-scale

I think this by definition makes it the best workshop at neurips

Manuel Brenner and I managed to organize this workshop not knowing we were gonna end up being new neighbors this month. The lineup speaks for itself. There were some last minute cancellations so we jumped in to fill their big shoes and will talk about the future directions of the new labs too!

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real: I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job! I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗
