Merci à Pénélope McQuade de @iciradiocanada.bsky.social de m'avoir invité à son micro ce matin pour répondre aux excellentes questions du public concernant les répercussions de l'IA sur nos sociétés. ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

This paper on how the brain may do gradient descent is very cool: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The technical report with more details about our work on SIMA 2 is now also available on arXiv! Take a look at: arxiv.org/abs/2512.04797

Thank you WEF for the golf cart ride through Davos, but also (more importantly!) for the excellent questions about the future of AI. 🛺 www.weforum.org/videos/davos...

I need hand-tracking in social VR for my research, but gestures just don't work well. I invented a solution. I call it #CyberFinger. We shipped first beta-dev units in late 2025. Now its 2026 and it's really satisfying to start to get community interest and feedback ... here's one of my favorites👇

🤩Excited about ResoniteLink - it looks like yet another powerful science/exploration/experimentation/creation/customization-friendly feature has been added to my favorite social VR platform/engine #resonite

This CyberMonday, we are launching the #CyberFinger to creators and developers of the #Resonite community for a developer evaluation beta now at scicortex.com. Its a hands-free wearable VR controller for optical hand tracking that plays well with keyboards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIAD...

Excellent funding opportunity: $100k/year for two years for a postdoc position in Montreal. Apply if you're interested in joining Montreal's thriving #NeuroAI ecosystem.

JUPITER, the European Union's new exascale supercomputer, is 100% powered by renewable energy. What will researchers use it for? go.nature.com/4gjekiO

A glimpse at what #NeuroAI brain models might enable: a topographic vision model predicts stimulation patterns that steer complex object recognition behavior in primates. This could be a key 'software' component for visual prosthetic hardware 🧠🤖🧪

Five enduring, in-lab VR results (w/ @stanfordvr.bsky.social): (1) presence depends on activity, (2) self-avatars shape behavior, (3) VR better for procedural than abstract learning,(4) body tracking is powerful but privacy-risky, (5) people underestimate VR distance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Years later (and many polygons fewer) we finally ported Becoming Homeless to the Meta Quest for free. www.meta.com/experiences/... Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival (2017), VHIL's most studied piece on VR empathy. Samples in the 1000s, behavioral measures, longitudinal outcomes months later.

Congrats to @frooxius.bsky.social and team! Very exciting milestone for my favorite Social VR platform @resonite.com ! I'm def seeing a huge jump in performance! Looking forward to the larger events this enables!

I'm a big fan of the MICrONs project. It's a huge step forward for understanding cortical structure and function, and a model of open science. This is an amazing artful website that communicates why! alleninstitute.org/news/learnin...

We are excited to announce the World premiere of HOMMAGE! Nominated for Best Art World & Best Art Experience at Raindance Immersive 2025 • Tour reservations open on 2nd June, www.raindanceimmersive.com#/2025-hommage/ #Moebius #Resonite

Happy to see this study led by Irene Onorato finally out - we show distinct phase locking and spike timing of optotagged PV cells and Sst interneuron subtypes during gamma oscillations in mouse visual cortex, suggesting an update to the classic PING model www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new Science study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The results challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior. scim.ag/3YQdUZK #SciencePerspective

🔎 In sum: Hippocampal ripples trigger a transition from compressed hippocampal codes to expanded cortical states that reconstruct past experiences. Great collaboration with @s-michelmann.bsky.social and @doellerlab.bsky.social! Read the full paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new paper! Vision models often struggle with learning both transformation-invariant and -equivariant representations at the same time. @hafezghm.bsky.social shows that self-supervised prediction with proper inductive biases achieves both simultaneously. (1/4) #MLSky #NeuroAI

This is bleak reading

For understanding learning in neocortex 🧠, self-supervised learning 🤖 is interesting, but has several shortcomings. Seq-JEPA is a step in the right direction. It learns by predicting sensory outcomes from series of interactions. Cool things emerged! 👇with @shahabbakht.bsky.social #MLSky #NeuroAI

Top-down feedback is ubiquitous in the brain and computationally distinct, but rarely modeled in deep neural networks. What happens when a DNN has biologically-inspired top-down feedback? 🧠📈 Our new paper explores this: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between #neuroscience, cognitive science, and #AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇 #NeuroAI #CompNeuro

1/2 Migrating to Bsky, and following @elife.bsky.social I notice our 2 big papers on simulation of neocortical circuits are at the top of the feed!

Have been off twitter for over a year, tried mastadon ... Bsky looks more like its in the goldilocks zone. Migrated my network using "Sky Follower Bridge" www.zdnet.com/article/how-... or is there a better approach? I recall a "NeuroMigration" movement for mastadon ...

A little late on the 🦋🚂, but happy to share a new(ish) preprint - the culmination of three years of postdoc with @tyrellturing.bsky.social and @apeyrache.bsky.social, and my first real foray into #NeuroAI as a tool to study the sleeping brain 🧠🟦: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/🧵) c’est parti!
