Using time-resolved EEG/MEG decoding?🧠 Here’s a new approach! No feature engineering (decode from raw signals), but capturing info that standard decoding often misses (oscillatory/aperiodic activity, connectivity). Lightweight, INTERPRETABLE, and easy to use. (1/6) 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... 🧵

Oxytocin is much than a "social" hormone. I think it's more accurate to describe it as an allostatic hormone that helps maintain physiological stability. Its social effects are just a by-product of these regulatory efforts doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

If you're interested in emerging ideas in neural interfaces, I humbly suggest my lab's latest: www.nature.com/articles/s42... Neural interfaces create dynamic interactions between the brain & devices. This means mean we need new engineering approaches beyond typical ML to "decode" a static brain

Bad news for all those Tech Bros. "It was once believed that clones were identical to the original, but it has become clear through this study that mutations occur at a rate three times higher than in offspring born through natural mating." shorturl.at/DMQuY

🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective We call it the digital sphinx www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

You have 10 minutes of task fMRI to map functional brain regions in an individual. Three decisions matter: How do you localize regions? Which tasks do you include? How do you arrange tasks in your experiment? Here, we tackle all three! Preprint👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy to share a new preprint from my PhD thesis! “A novel framework for expanding RNNs with biophysical detail to solve cognitive tasks” 🧠💻 📝 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @jonescompneurolab.bsky.social

New paper! We introduce JEDI, Jointly Embedded Dynamics Inference for neural dynamics. arxiv.org/abs/2603.10489. JEDI flexibly infers dynamical principles (across behaviors/contexts) from neural population data through RNNs constrained at single-neuron resolution to reproduce that data.

“we are trapping 21st-century minds inside 19th-century academic hierarchies.” This essay gets a lot right about problems with German science. I would add that the hierarchies and precarious contracts lead also to systemic abuse and scientific misconduct. open.substack.com/pub/realimag...

🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization. But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture? We tested this directly. 🧵1/8

Came for a dig at resting state, and stayed for it too. Turns out that you are better off having several tasks than a resting state to unravel the networks. Full disclosure: this paper validates my long held opinion.

New paper hot off the (pre-)press! We dig into the evolutionary origins of neural computations for behavioral control across mice, monkeys, and humans: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... As our lab's first foray into comparative analysis of neural dynamics, I’m super excited about this work! 1/18

Another compelling piece of evidence that beta burst waveforms carry more information. When you look at beta changes in visuomotor adaptation, power tells you something, overall burst rate tells you something, but only waveform analysis shows you a full picture. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇
