Our new manuscript, led by Emily Corrigan, examines inhibitory neuron diversity across approximately 160 million years of evolutionary divergence, as part of BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) developing brain atlas package: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Talks from #SNUFA 2025 are now available on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?lis... 🤖🧠🧪

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Spiking NN fans - the #SNUFA workshop (Nov 5-6) agenda is finalised and online now. Make sure to register (free) soon. (Note you can register for either day and come to both.) Agenda: snufa.net/2025/ Registration: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/snufa-2025... Thanks to all who voted on abstracts! 🤖🧠🧪

🚨 New preprint! “A Computational Perspective on the No-Strong-Loops Principle in Brain Networks” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Over the past 3 years, we’ve been investigating why cortical networks avoid strong reciprocal loops — and what this means for computation.

A thought-provoking perspective from the visionary @giacomoi.bsky.social, calling for neuromorphic computing to return to its root: fundamental neuroscience; an inspiring vision for the future of NeuroAI 🤩

Interested in Network hubs, cortical hierarchies, and gradients? Ever wonder where they come from? Check our latest review, where we cover different approaches to mapping hubs, models for their evolution, and mechanisms for how they develop: osf.io/preprints/os...

Have you ever been transfixed by the colour palette of the Melbourne tram network? Well I have... so I made a package called {melbourne}! So far it includes a colour palette called "melb_trams()". More to come, stay tuned! 🔗 Check it out: github.com/dionnecargy/... #RStats #DataScience #Rcoding

Good morning folks. If you’re around #OCNS2025, maybe come by today for a chat about optimal communication in brain networks? ✨

Wonderful work by Shrey and Kayson in developing an XAI method for exploring the contribution of any computational unit (e.g., nodes, experts, communities, filters) within neural networks. It enables analysis of both their influence on each other and their overall impact on task performance.

🚨Preprint Alert: Who Does What in Deep Learning? Multidimensional Contribution of Neural Units using Game Theory: arxiv.org/abs/2506.19732 The result of my MSc thesis is out with @kayson.bsky.social @fatemehhadaeghi.bsky.social @patrickmineault.bsky.social @kordinglab.bsky.social, Claus C. Hilgetag

✨Excited to share that our new paper is now out in iScience!✨ 🧠 We show that people can coordinate surprisingly well in novel interactions by violating others' expectations - without requiring deep, recursive reasoning about others’ beliefs. 📄 Read the full paper here: www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

How should #multisensory signals be combined when they are structured in time? To explore this, we: * Introduce a new multisensory task * Compare several models TLDR: * Prior models perform suboptimally * Our new model performs ≈ an RNN, while using less than 1/10th the number of parameters.

1/ I am very excited to announce that our paper "The underlying structures of self-attention: symmetry, directionality, and emergent dynamics in Transformer training" is available on arXiv 💜 arxiv.org/abs/2502.10927 How is information encoded in self-attention matrices?How to interpret it? ⬇️

PhD fellowship to work with me and Benedetta Franceschiello on the analysis and modelling of fast sampled fMRI data! www.ugent.be/en/work/scie...

A Perspective on integrating multimodal data to understand cortical circuit architecture and function @alleninstitute.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our latest preprint on connectivity modulation with dual-site tACS! We show that in-phase tACS at 20 Hz can disrupt fMRI connectivity between the primary motor cortices, but also affects connectivity with other motor regions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Found a #bifurcation (bifurcated ?) #tree outside the Royal Botanic garden, #Sydney 😬

🌟 Paper out in npj Unconventional Computing! www.nature.com/articles/s44... A system built with just a few neurons, yet able to solve a complex task — not by stacking layers or going deeper, but by embracing unconventional thinking. This is neuromorphic to me!

New preprint from me, @swathianil.bsky.social & @neuralreckoning.bsky.social. We consider how animals should combine multisensory signals in the naturalistic case where: ✅ Signals are sparse. ✅ Signals arrive in bursts. ✅ Sensory channels are correlated. To do so, we compare several models (🧠):
