New paper 🚨 #ICLR26 Most world models predict the future from a past trajectory. But neuroscience suggests that such inference can instead be made from temporally independent experiences. We built the Episodic Spatial World Model (ESWM), a model that does exactly this: Video abstract [1/2]

Want to match neural representations from different days and get more trials for analyses? Interested in multi-scale neural dynamics in decision variability? Visit our #cosyne2026 poster today afternoon (Sat)! 3-161: Dynamics-based alignment across sessions reveals latent neural computation

Don't miss @maxschwabe.bsky.social's poster this evening (our master's student and presenter awardee 🎉) on decomposing RNN dynamics during naturalistic decision-making! It was a joint work with @armanbehrad.bsky.social and @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social!

Excited to be at #Cosyne2026! I'll be presenting my poster tomorrow during the Thursday session: [1-106] “A biologically inspired predictive coding algorithm with multiplicative and additive feedback”. With @colin-bredenberg.bsky.social and @tyrellturing.bsky.social

I’ll be presenting our work, supervised by Peter E. Latham and in collaboration with @krotov.bsky.social, at #COSYNE2026. Full paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2601.00984 (to be presented at #ICLR2026). For a summary--or to see the poster if you’re not attending--check out www.linkedin.com/posts/mohade...

Excited to give a talk at #Cosyne2026 about my PhD work! We show that RNNs trained on visual search converge on brain-like solutions, producing primate-like behavior and neural representations. Happy to chat if you're at Cosyne! 📅 March 15, 2026 📍 Lisbon, Portugal www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📢📢 Announcing this year's conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience & AI (Rome, 9-12th June). We’ve got a stellar line-up and venue, and invite everyone to join: www.neuromonster.org

Spread the word: I'm looking to hire a postdoc to explore the concept of attention (as studied in psych/neuro, not the transformer mechanism) in large Vision-Language Models. More details here: lindsay-lab.github.io/2025/12/08/p... #MLSky #neurojobs #compneuro

In this piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social, I argue that ecological neuroscience should leverage generative video and interactive models to simulate the world from animals' perspectives. The technological building blocks are almost here - we just need to align them for this application. 🧠🤖

Thrilled to start 2026 as faculty in Psych & CS @ualberta.bsky.social + Amii.ca Fellow! 🥳 Recruiting students to develop theories of cognition in natural & artificial systems 🤖💭🧠. Find me at #NeurIPS2025 workshops (speaking coginterp.github.io/neurips2025 & organising @dataonbrainmind.bsky.social)

1/9 🚨Thrilled to share "Caption This, Reason That", a #NeurIPS2025 Spotlight! 🔦 Meet us at #2112, 3 Dec 11 a.m. We analyze VLM limitations through the lens of Cognitive Science (Perception, Attention, Memory) and propose a simple "Self-Captioning" method that boosts spatial reasoning by ~18%. 🧵👇

I’m looking for interns to join our lab for a project on foundation models in neuroscience. Funded by @ivado.bsky.social and in collaboration with the IVADO regroupement 1 (AI and Neuroscience: ivado.ca/en/regroupem...). Interested? See the details in the comments. (1/3) 🧠🤖

We’ll be at CCN next week with two posters, one contributed talk and one satellite talk! If you are interested in neural coding in primate hippocampus, modeling visual search, or cortical topography come and talk to us! See👇for details:
