A new preprint that revives the theory of continous attractors that may be surprising to you! Despite their mathematical fragility, we show that they are functionally *robust*. No wonder we see approximate continuous attractors in neuroscience often. arxiv.org/abs/2408.00109
The latest in our #NeuroAI series, from @evadyer and @tyrell_turing, with comments from @GaelleAChapuis, @ClopathLab, @koerding, @memming, @PessoaBrain, @shreyaneuroctrl @computingnature @SussilloDavid, @sejnowski
How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask @evadyer and Blake Richards @tyrell_turing in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series. thetransmitter.org/neuroai/accept…
Excited to announce our recent work on low-precision deep learning via biologically-inspired noisy log-normal multiplicative dynamics (LMD). It allows us to train large neural nets (such as GPT-2 and ViT) in FP6. arxiv.org/abs/2506.17768

I'm excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper with @jsoldadomagrane @SmithLabNeuro @YuLikeNeuro! We develop a new brain stimulation framework (MiSO) to drive neural population activity toward specified states. Paper: openreview.net/pdf?id=Gb0mXhn… Poster Session 4 East, Dec 12 16:30 [1/n]
Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in @Nature!! With @AmitVinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with @MengyuLiu96, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!
(1/n) Thrilled to announce our (me + @neuronair ) Nature paper is out! We uncovered causal evidence of a line attractor in the brain—a neural mechanism encoding emotional states like aggression. Machine learning (AI) helped us map it! 🚀🧠 #Neuroscience #AI @NeuroscienceNews
