OmniMouse: Scaling properties of multi-modal, multi-task Brain Models on 150B Neural Tokens
Konstantin F. Willeke, Polina Turishcheva, Alex Gilbert +18
Scaling data and artificial neural networks has transformed AI, driving breakthroughs in language and vision. Whether similar principles apply to modeling brain activity remains un…
Letting the neural code speak: Automated characterization of monkey visual neurons through human language
Vedang Lad, Katrin Franke, Tamar Rott Shaham +4
Understanding what individual neurons encode is a core question in neuroscience. In primary visual cortex (V1), mathematical models (e.g., Gabor functions) capture neural selectivi…
From Kepler to Newton: Inductive Biases Guide Learned World Models in Transformers
Ziming Liu, Sophia Sanborn, Surya Ganguli +1
Can general-purpose AI architectures go beyond prediction to discover the physical laws governing the universe? True intelligence relies on "world models" -- causal abstractions th…
NeuroAI for AI Safety
Patrick Mineault, Niccolò Zanichelli, Joanne Zichen Peng +12
As AI systems become increasingly powerful, the need for safe AI has become more pressing. Humans are an attractive model for AI safety: as the only known agents capable of general…
Exploring the hierarchical structure of human plans via program generation
Carlos G. Correa, Sophia Sanborn, Mark K. Ho +3
Human behavior is often assumed to be hierarchically structured, made up of abstract actions that can be decomposed into concrete actions. However, behavior is typically measured a…
